On the restrained side, relatively speaking, this white offers attractive aromas of tangerine, lime blossom and honeysuckle, with just a suggestion of oak. The palate harmonizes texture with refreshment, echoing the nose...

Louis Moreau farms 52 acres in the villages of Beines and Chablis, most of his parcels on sandy clay. He ferments this wine in stainless steel without added yeasts, then ages it on the fine lees. In 2018, he achieved a...

The 2021 Chardonnay overdelivers for its appellation-wide status. It has pretty scents of quince, poached pear, spring honey, chalk and roasted almonds. The medium-bodied palate is satiny, savory and expansive with...

The very young and faintly reductive 2021 Albariño is only 12.5% alcohol (the 2020 is 13.5%). It's austere, sharp and vibrant, and the back label specifies one to three years, which to me is not its drinking window but...

Cooked apple, lemon curd and light vanilla on the nose, together with stone, mineral and some dried flowers. Medium to full body with a creamy texture and beautiful fruit. Hints of vanilla and pie crust in the aftertaste...

The 2019 Le Grand Clos is a quiet and graceful wine. It's as if a symphony orchestra has been playing pianissimo and then they've come to a collective pause, holding its bows and breath before releasing the tension and...

94+ The 2018 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast spent 15 months in 30% new French oak. It's pure class, offering bright citrus and pineapple fruit as well as lots of white flowers, salty minerality, and just a touch of background...

A blend from three parcels of aligoté, the fruit vinified in stainless steel, this is a wholesome white with pale, earthy savor and a buzz of tart fruit acidity. The rich flavor is layered with scents of white flowers...

This is the top white wine from Château Chantegrive in the Graves, and has been listed for the first time by The Wine Society. Half Semillon, and the other half Sauvignon Blanc with a dash of Sauvignon Gris, this is...

This elegant wine is a classic and standard bearer of Soave. It shines with aromas of ripe Fuji apple, orange blossom, marzipan and lemon oil. Cool and crisp on the palate as if biting into a perfect apple, this wine...

The 2021 Pouilly-Fuissé comes from seven parcels, though in this year, it was supplemented by some purchased fruit. It is matured in 50% used barrels and 50% in vat. The nose is well-defined with yellow plum and light...

Smells like wild peaches, really floral and perfumed, parma violets, you might say there's Viognier in it from the nose. The palate is weighty, you get a more dense texture than some of the others, it really makes an...

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...

A beautiful, Burgundian nose of orchard fruits, white flowers, chalky minerality, and honeysuckle emerge from the 2019 Chardonnay Wayfarer Vineyard, a riveting, pure, flawlessly balanced Chardonnay that shines on all...

There are people in life who you hang out with and feel energised and then there are others who suck your spirit - like the Death Eaters à la Harry Potter. The 2019 Touche Mitaine is thankfully the former. It is a...

Ripe orchard fruits, butted lemon, crushed stone, and salty, marine-influence notes all emerge from the 2021 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills, a concentrated, medium to full-bodied Chardonnay with a liquid rock-like sense of...

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...

The 2020 Riesling Zeltinger Schlossberg Auslese ** (Golden Capsule) opens with a clear and savory bouquet of crushed lemon skins and concentrated Riesling berries. Highly delicate and pristine on the palate, this is a...

94+ Katarina Prüm’s 2020 Badstube Spätlese is simply stunning and one of the best wines I have ever tasted from this vineyard. The bouquet is electric, jumping from the glass in a mix of apple, fresh lime, lilacs, bee...

The 2019 Chardonnay Old Stones has pretty golden apple fruit with wafts of pie crust, beeswax and flowers, while the palate offers layered savory fruits and linear acidity, which make for an expressive, energetic finish.- EB

(91-93 points) A ripe yet quite classic nose features notes of mineral reduction, citrus confit, white flower and a suggestion of quinine. The succulent and exceptionally rich medium-bodied flavors possess a seductive...

A subtle, flinty note of reduction gives way to creamy, chalky lemon on this wine's appetizing nose. The palate then sweeps in with unexpected juiciness and ripeness from the hot summer. A leesy, chalky texture lends...

This stainless-steel fermented Pinot Gris is loaded with rich and sappy flavors of ripe melon, guava and peach. It has plentiful acidity to keep it lifted and bright, and the power through the finish is exceptional. PAUL...

(90-93 points) A timid nose grudgingly offers up its aromas of citrus rind, oyster shell, petrol and tidal pool. There is very good freshness and energy to the solidly concentrated middle weight flavors that possess...

Exudes smoky, toasty overtones to the grilled peach, Meyer lemon, ripe melon and dried pineapple flavors, while spicy accents of clove, nutmeg and orange bitters linger on the rich, expansive finish. Drink now. - MW

The 2019 Encruzado Reserva Quinta da Falorca (it also has 5% Malvasia, only because some Malvasia vines are sprinkled in the field blend) was partly (only 11%) aged for two months in new French oak, the rest in stainless...
