From a north-facing site that has consequently been denied the premier cru appellation, the 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Courtelongs has turned out very well, unfurling to reveal notions of green apple, orange oil, buttery...

Sliced cooked apples with biscuit and pie crust undertones, as well as hints of spices with some salted caramel. Hints of apricot. Full-bodied with a firmness and depth. Creamy-textured phenolics and great length. One of...

Incredibly rich and luxuriously oaky, this blockbuster-style wine basks in delicious excess, bathed in melted butter, vanilla bean, poached pears and caramel that swell in the aroma and echo through a rich, butterscotch...

The 2021 Chardonnay (Central Coast) is a very pretty entry-level offering. Lemon peel, white flowers and light tropical accents all grace this mid-weight, understated Chardonnay from Calera. The 2021 is pure class, not to...

This winery's Chardonnays have existed on their own unique plane since the days when Greg Brewer was the winemaker. There's a yogurt-like dairy kick to the nose alongside orange peel, dried pear and sea salt. The palate...

(94+ points) The 2019 Chardonnay Estate comes from own-rooted vines planted in 1973. It was barrel fermented and matured for 12 months in oak and six months in stainless. It's scented of golden apples, dried hay and...

The 2020 Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru, half aged in 400-litre oak barrels, has a rather straightforward nose considering the vineyard in question, although it opens with aeration. The oak here is a little obtrusive. The...

Pouring a bright medium yellow/straw hue, the 2021 Chardonnay Chloe is highly expressive, with a golden perfume of pineapple, orange oil, and a bit of honeysuckle. It has full body and a rounded texture, with ripe...

The 2021 Chardonnay VGW is dusty and floral, with a nuanced bouquet of lemon oils, nectarine and crushed stone. It’s soft and luxuriously round. Stimulating acidity balances a pretty inner sweetness as mineral-tinged...

This white starts out rich, turning leaner and focused on the finish, with vanilla, butterscotch, apple tart and lemon flavors that ride a vibrant structure. Shows fine length. Drink now through 2026. - BS

This superrich and mouthcoating wine is also silky in texture and has a light, lifting acidity to give it great balance. Poached pears, marzipan and a touch of butter give it full flavors to pair with sauteed fish...

The vines are located in the upper part, turning towards Vaulorent. More green than yellow in the colour, very concentrated, very backward. Solid and weighty, not yet showing the detail. But length, and some fresh apricot...

(90-93 points) Here too the wood treatment is no longer subtle though neither is it invasive on the ripe and fresh aromas of pear and apple compote, lemon rind and wafting spice nuances. The citrus character is also...

The 2020 Chardonnay Estate has rich aromas of peaches, honey, chamomile and baker's yeast with gentle herbal tones. The palate offers bright freshness and nutty, honeyed fruits, and it finishes long and textural.

(90-93 points) Firm reduction blocks reading the nose. More interesting are the rich, intense and sappy middle weight flavors that conclude in a bone-dry and highly complex finale. I wouldn't describe this as typical yet...

Bottled in March 2022, the 2020 Chardonnay Ma Douce kicks off with gregarious notes of creme caramel, baked pears, and passion fruit, plus suggestions of cedar chest and spice cake. The medium to full-bodied palate has a...
