Riesling from France

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: A lot of roasted citrus fruits, but the mineral character is stronger. The mineral component keeps the reins in its hand, driving the wine on to a very straight path and keeping it there in spite of higher alcohol (just...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Very ripe yellow-fruit character and considerable succulence without any hints of heaviness. A very long and stony finish of serious complexity that shows wonderful freshness. A great food wine, especially with spicy East...

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: Super smoky with enormous depth, but also incredibly precise and pristine with a salt, savory and mineral finish that doesn't want to stop. In spite of that unique personality and that there is a couple of decades of...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Still rather closed with only hints of candied citrus and toast on the nose, but this has the concentration and profundity of a top grand cru. Tightly wound and so, it needs some time to unfurl. But it already has a...

Vinous, 96 points: Medium orange-gold. High-toned, tangy aromas of orange, lime peel, fresh apricot, nuts and honey. The palate pairs great thickness with electric acidity, giving an almost painful quality to the very sweet apricot and...

jamessuckling.com, 90 points: Very nice citrusy fruit on the palate and enough acidity to balance the medium-full body. There's a hint of marzipan on the nose that takes a little bit away from it. Made from organically grown grapes.

Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, 90 points: (17/20) Barrel sample. Blue schist in parts. On Cambrian soil (also in Banyuls). Very slow fermentation. Super-clean nose but very solid rather than fruity on the palate. Vibrates on the end. Very terroir rather than...

jamessuckling.com, 91 points: There's a hint of marzipan on the nose that a lot of 2014s have. On the palate this is quite a big, bold dry wine with plenty of appeal. The finish is impressively long. Best now or in 2018 and 2019. Organic wines.

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: A dense and linear riesling with sliced limes, lemons and flint. Bright and precise. Full-bodied, layered and beautiful. Great finish to this. Big and flavorful. Yet not showy. Drink now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: In its author’s opinion, the extremely high acid Zind-Humbrecht 2008 Riesling Brand Selection de Grains Nobles comes off as more austere than its non-”late-harvested” counterpart, and he finds no obvious botrytis on the...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Rated, but no tasting note given. Although these wines are normally reviewed by my colleagues David Schildknect in his Languedoc-Roussillon and Alsace reports and Lisa Perrotti-Brown in her reviews of Australian wines, I...
