The 2015 Salon was aged ten years on fine lees and disgorged Spring 2025 with a five-gram-per-liter dosage. It sails out of the glass with relatively expressive scents of lemon tart, lime blossoms, and juicy grapefruit...

Still holding on to its depth of color. The wine already shows some development with its truffle, oyster shell, cassis, Asian spice, dark red fruits and cherry tones. This is a Latour of elegance, purity of fruit and...

This could hit 100 Pts when fully mature. And, why not? There is a gorgeous symmetry here, balancing intensity, concentration, length, purity, and elegance, along with a close to seamless finish that delivers layer after...

The clarity to this wine is impressive. Wealth of dark-plum and black-fruit essence not to mention orange citrus. Everything is dialed up to the limit here but then dialed in on the palate. Such impressive depth and...

The 2015 Espectacle del Montsant is a ripe and classic vintage for this exceptional wine produced from a single vineyard in Montsant. This has a forward personality—open, expressive and showy in the nose—from a typically...

An overt style of baked apples and stone fruit with vibrant lemons and chalk, as well as subtle brioche character. Medium-bodied, generous and large, showing fine mousse and crisp acidity. Tight yet focused with a toasty...

Mark my words, this is a future legendary vintage for Canon! It gets everything right from the moment the wine hits the glass. Aromatically, the wine offers flowers, crushed rock, black and red fruits, spearmint...

This 11.4-acre parcel sustains some of the domaine’s oldest vines, planted in 1962 and ’76 on a gravelly terrace over a limestone slope along the bank of the Vienne River. They produce a wine that seems to explode with...

Aromas of tangerines with clementines and cookie dough, as well as hints of flint and orange blossom. Fascinating already. Full-bodied with density and complexity and lots of character. Rich at the beginning and then...

Aromas of cool green orchard fruit, subtle citrus and iodine lead into a glossy, textural palate with, like the whole range, impressive cut and energy. Like all the Meursaults in the cellar, this will deserve and demand...

Even more impressive, the 100% Merlot 2015 La Fleur De Bouard Le Plus is a vineyard/parcel selection from clay and limestone soils that was brought up all in new oak. This sensational, full-bodied, viscous 2015 boasts a...

This showcases just how well the Margaux (or Margaux-adjacent) area did in 2015. The finessed quality of the tannins stands out as a signature of the estate throughout the entire vertical, and is on display again here. As...
