Offers lemon sherbet, salted butterscotch and lemon blossom notes that are fresh and aromatic, with a seamlessness to the supple texture and fresh acidity. Reveals a touch of vanilla crème anglaise and fresh, fleshy...

Here too there is a Chablis-like hint of quinine adding breadth to the decidedly cool and citrusy green apple-scented nose. There is excellent cut and energy to the delicious medium weight flavors that exude a subtle...

The 2020 Vouvray Sec, tasted in the cellar last year, and this year chez moi, is a quiet, unshowy wine. Its class is clear, and it doesn't need to shout about it with ambitious posturing or fancy winemaking. It is pure...

Hints of mineral reduction and petrol add breadth to the vaguely exotic, ripe and dense aromas of apple compote, beeswax and ripe citrus nuances. The sleek, intense and beautifully concentrated and textured medium weight...

This white starts out lushly textured and broad in profile, setting the stage for ripe peach, lemon oil, citronella, stone and earth flavors. Turns more precise, superdry and chalky on the long finish. Best from 2023...

The 2020 Riesling Sommerberg is the second vintage of this steep cru, and Humbrecht replanted the 32.5-are vineyard on decomposed granite in 2012 and 2013 in high density (9,500 plants per hectare, all from their own...

The 2020 Loner Chardonnay The Thirty-Five Sweet Goodbyes comes from the John Sebastiano vineyard and was matured for 26 months in used French oak and stainless steel. It opens with chalk and saline before revealing scents...

The 2020 Chardonnay hints at sweet corn but delivers vibrant apple and pineapple flavors. There's greater richness and texture than in the more polite 2021, but the wine remains medium-bodied and silky textured, with a...

The 2020 Riesling Spätlese Grünlack is precise and fine on the bright and delicately fruity and flinty nose that shows white peach aromas along with some flinty notes of crushed stones. Very elegant and crystalline on the...

From the warmest, south-west facing part of the cru on coralline limestone and aged in up to 15% new and 90% older pièces, the 2020 Ried Zieregg Steilriegel Morillon GSTK offers a deep, pure, intense and aromatic, dense...
