Decanter, 95 points: A superior rosé champagne with alluring wild strawberry, flint and smoke aromas, followed by crunchy cherry fruit, redcurrant and rhubarb flavours. Long, gently nutty, finish. Beautiful wine.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: Made of 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 Belair Monange is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. With a little swirling, this baby comes bounding out of the glass with energetic notes of wild blueberries...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: I was blown away by how favorably the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Petits Pieds d'Armand had evolved. Last year I indicated it was still fermenting and now that it is in bottle it is one heck of a wine that took 18 months...
Wine Spectator, 92 points: Cedar and tobacco aromas lead off, followed by gently steeped red currant and plum fruit flavors. An elegant mix of herb, sanguine and iron notes chimes on the very silky, restrained finish. A wine of subtle charm and...
Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Cellar Selection. Named after Alphonse Edmond, the father of present owner of Alphonse Mellot, this is the top wine from an always-impressive estate. Richness and concentration almost overwhelm the wine at this young...

Vinous, 93 points: (91-93 points) (this wine had been racked and returned to fûts; Dauvissat planned to move it into stainless steel in August and bottle it next year): Very pale lemon-yellow color. Reticent but pure scents of minerals and...
Burghound, 90 points: (88-90 points) The fresh, ripe and softly exotic aromas are composed by notes of white fruit compote, citrus and spice. There is exceptionally good richness to the thick, even luscious medium-bodied flavors that coat the...
Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: This is a new cuvée from Alphonse Mellot, derived from old vines in Chavignol. Like with all the Mellot wines, the fruit is ripe, organically grown and very pure. The structure and concentration will allow the wine to...

I searched for a particular wine through WineSearcher.com. JJ Buckley had an excellent price and a super-easy-to-use website. It was not only user-friendly, but had a LOT of information on the wine. Really impressive.
