This impressive white delivers a core of quince, lemon rind and apple that blends with accents of white flower and lemongrass. Crisp acidity drives the freshness on the textured palate, offering elegance and plenty of...

Pale lemon colour. The bouquet is backward. There is a fair amount of spice here, and some cheerful oak. A ripe and fairly exuberant Perrières with good length. The whole package works very well.

The lovely 2016 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chalumeaux wafts from the glass with an old-school nose of lemon oil, wet stones, iodine, mandarin and smoke, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and incisive palate...

The 2016 Chardonnay Uncovered is another rich, medium to full-bodied effort from this team that has ample toast and orchard fruit-like aromas, a fleshy, supple texture, good acidity, and a clean finish. It’s well worth...

Impressive, flinty complexity with yellow citrus fruit and lighter peach aromas, leading to a palate that has a punchy array of vibrant peach flavor and a taut citrus thread to close. Complex and polished chardonnay here...

The 2016 Chardonnay Anderson Valley from the team at Rhys knocks it out of the park, and I suspect it’s a screaming value. White peach, apple blossom, spice, and some white flower notes all flow to a medium-bodied...

From one of the oldest vineyards in the Santa Maria Valley, Paul Lato’s superb 2016 Chardonnay le Souvenir Sierra Madre Vineyard reveals attractive aromas of yellow orchard fruit, citrus zest, peach and honeycomb. On the...

The 2016 Chardonnay Alpine Vineyard is a stunning young wine that's one of the best whites Rhys has produced to date. Opening up with vivid aromas of lemon oil, citrus pith, crisp apple and nutmeg, it's fuller-bodied...

Once again there is a touch of the exotic to the honeysuckle, mango, lychee and intensely petrol-suffused aromas. There is reasonably good density to the utterly delicious flavors that are a lovely combination of...

This white is saturated with peach, lemon curd, lime blossom, honey and light spice flavors. The plush texture gives this immediate appeal, but there is a firm structure underneath and even a touch of tannins. Best from...

An attractively layered nose combines notes of lemongrass, green apple, mineral reduction and a whiff of petrol. The highly energetic middle weight flavors possess an appealing mouth feel while delivering solid depth and...

This is entirely barrel-fermented and French-oak aged, making for a generous, full-bodied lushness on the palate. Creamy tropical fruit, pear and melon are met by sublime texture and well-integrated oak, finishing in a...

(90-92 points) Moderate reduction and sulfur undertones make the nose tough to assess. Otherwise there is fine volume and density to the tautly muscular flavors that evidence good power and punch on the drier, more...

Now deliciously ready to drink, this ripe wine has touches of wood toast as well as smooth yellow fruits. It has a warm feel that still keeps minerality and acidity in play. Drink this rich wine from 2019. ROGER VOSS

A full, ripe wine, this is rich in white fruits, but balanced by bright acidity. Produced in a vineyard close to Buxy, it has a taut edge, plenty of honey and lemon flavors, and a touch of toast. It's developing well, and...

With only one-third of a normal yield in Maltroie in 2016, there is not a lot of this wine in the cellar, but what is here is excellent! The Maltroie delivers a fine nose of apple, orange, almond, wet stone minerality...

(90-93 points) Moderately generous wood along with vanilla hints fights slightly with the ripe and dense aromas of mostly white orchard fruit, honeysuckle and soft shellfish nuances. There is impressive size, weight and...

(97-98 points) This is a very structured Batard, which is more structured than many from this vineyard and in the vein of Montrachet. Full-bodied, dense and layered. Phenolic tension. Compacted and very, very impressive...

(91-92 points) Plenty of clay here, giving a broad and appealing fleshiness to the palate. It also has a creamy, peach custard-like edge. This is packed with interest. Very flamboyant but contained in the finish. Drink now.

(12.5% alcohol; from a steep southwest-facing slope with slightly richer soil than the Mâcon Milly-Lamartine Montagne de Cra; the vines here were planted from the late 1970s through the early '80s): Bright, full...

The 2016 Chablis Les Montmains 1er Cru comes entirely from the titular vineyard and is matured 60% in oak. It has an attractive richness on the nose, more so than the Les Vaillons Vieilles Vignes, scents of white peach...
