Domaine de Mourchon Loubié Rosé 2020 “A very pure version, with a light stony edge to the elegant mix of white cherry and white peach flavors, backed by a subtle hint of jasmine at the very end. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now. 2,600 cases made, 1,900 cases imported.” – JM, Wine Spectator now organic
Domaine de Mourchon, Cotes du Rhone Villages – Seguret, Grande Réserve 2018 90 points – Wine Advocate “Impressively dark in the glass, there’s no doubting the ambition of the 2018 Cotes du Rhone Villages Seguret Grande Reserve. Scents of clove, leather, vanilla and cola emerge on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is…
Vigneau-Cheavreau Vouvray Petillant biodynamic 94 points – Decanter Lovely golden yellow in colour, with the aromas intensely suggesting wet wool, hazlenuts and honeyed apples. In the mouth there’s an oily, viscous quality; the bubbles are very light, almost not there. Very vinous, with high, laser sharp acid. It’s in some ways savoury and in other…
Château Briston-Brillette Moulis Bordeaux 2018 90 points – Vinous “The 2018 Briston-Brillette offers vivid blackberry and tobacco scents on a nose that is almost Pauillac in style. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, fine-grained tannins and a harmonious, graphite-tinged finish. This is an excellent Moulis from Biston-Brillette. Drink 2023-2038.”- Neal Martin, Vinous
Pierre Gaillard, St. Joseph, Clos de Cuminaille 2019 94 points – Decanter “Beautiful combination of fresh blackberry, bacon fat and cinnamon spice. This is rounded, concentrated and elegant on the palate. No excess weight or alcohol, lovely deep-set acidity and a long finish. An exceptional vintage for Cuminaille. Such a beautiful wine, as good as…
Vigneau-Chevreau, Vouvray, Cuvée Silex 2019 92 points – Vinous “A taut, focused dry style that’s organically grown and hand-harvested. Hailing from silex soil, as the cuvée name makes clear, the 2019 Cuvée Silex is a compact and precise offering with laser-like, citrus-driven acidity. There’s crisp apple fruit and white flowers on the nose, but this…
La Font de Notre Dame, Gigondas le Mas 2018 90 points – Wine Enthusiast “Peppercorns and wild-berry preserves introduce this easy-drinking, fruit-focused blend of Grenache (80%), Syrah (10%) and Mourvédre (10%). It’s full bodied and plush on the palate, with a juicy, thirst-quenching finish marked by a subtle salty spray. Best now–2025.”- Wine Enthusiast
HENRI BOILLOT 2019 Red Burgundies Allen Meadows’ Burghound Reviews “As the comments and ratings confirm, I was as usual impressed with the Boillot 2019s. Boillot further noted that the reds were bottled in December 2020 without fining or filtration.” – Allen Meadows, Burghound Issue 82
Pierre Gaillard St. Joseph Blanc 2018 93 points – Wine Advocate “The orange-scented, truffled, honey-laden 2018 Saint Joseph Blanc has that “it” factor. Full-bodied, rich and silky, it’s harmonious and exotic, with ample concentration and length. It should provide delicious drinking over the next few years, perhaps longer.”- Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate
Domaine Berthenet, Montagny, Tête de Cuvée 2018 – 91 points – Decanter “Berthenet’s Tête de Cuvée is a blend from all but one of the domaine’s vineyards. Succulent, ripe and honeyed, the calcareous slopes have added freshness, citrus and saline notes. Unoaked, there are beguiling floral notes in this fine Montagny.”- Andy Howard, MW, Decanter
