Château Simon Graves Blanc 2017 – “This crisp wine offers tangy acidity and a bright texture. Its fruitiness is still developing, highlighting the apple and citrus flavors. Wait to drink this wine until mid 2019.”- Wine Enthusiast

Pierre Gaillard Cornas 2014 (sourced from 1 ha parcel of 70+ year-old vines) – “The 2014s were all tasted out of bottle.

Domaine Testut, Chablis 1er Cru Forets 2017 – 92 pts. “Sweet Spot Outstanding”- Burghound “Like the old vines cuvée, the sulfur addition before the recent bottling dominates the fruit.
