(11/2020) "Taittinger's 2008 Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne is simply breathtaking. I have tasted it many times over the years in various trial disgorgements and it has never been anything less than compelling. The final, finished wine captures all of that potential. Bright, focused and wonderfully deep, Comtes is a fabulous example of a vintage that expresses so much energy but with real fruit intensity, the signatures that distinguish it from other vintages (1996 comes to mind) that were similarly taut, but more austere in the early going. Although the 2008 impresses right out of the gate, it only really starts to open up with several hours of air. The 2008 Comtes represents the purest essence of the Cotes des Blancs in a great, historic vintage. Readers who can find the 2008 should not hesitate, as it is a truly brilliant epic Champagne that no one who loves the very best in Champagne will want to be without."

Domaine Bruno Colin "Les Vergers" Premier Cru Chassagne-Montrachet 2016
94+
Our Score
(1/2021) Bruno Colin is an exciting Kermit Lynch imported grower producing tightly structured, seriously wonderful Chardonnay, including this "Les Vergers" bottling from a highly regarded 1er Cru vineyard situated at the northern end of Chassagne. The 2016 vintage offered a small harvest due to spring frosts, allowing top growers like Colin to make lovely wines like this ethereal, mid-weight, zesty, orchard fruit toned and floral accented effort. Drink now through 2025.

Pierre Gimonnet "Special Club - Grands Terroirs de Chardonnay" Brut Millesime 2014
94
Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(11/2020) "The 2014 Brut Special Club is a blend of fruit taken mostly from Cramant, with Chouilly and Cuis in supporting roles. The breadth and power of Cramant comes through loud and clear. Readers will find a potent, at times austere, Champagne that needs a bit of time in the cellar to soften. The Special Club does not offer the immediacy of the Chouilly or Cramant Special Clubs, but it has plenty of its own allure. Dried pear, spice, crushed flowers and chamomile are some of the aromas and flavors that linger on the imposing finish. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: December 13, 2019. Drink 2022 - 2030."

Domaine William Fevre "Bougros - Cote Bouguerots" Grand Cru Chablis 2017

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(1/2020) "The 2017 Chablis Bougros Cote Bouguerots Grand Cru is mind-bending. Usually a more powerful Chablis, in 2017 the Cote Bouguerots is airy, weighty and beautifully lifted, with pretty floral and saline notes that confer a great deal of freshness. The 2017 opens up beautifully with time in the glass, showing tons of volume and resonance, all retaining its bright, sculpted personality. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2037."

Pierre Gimonnet "Special Club" Brut 1er Cru 2012
94+
Our Score
(12/2019) Didier Gimonnet crafts this 100% Chardonnay from prime vineyards in Cramant, Chouilly and Cuis, villages known for classic Blanc de Blancs minerality. Special Club fits well here as this wine delivers a special level of power and oomph, without sacrificing tension and energy. White raspberry and Golden Delicious lead a honeyed, almond and vanilla scented mid palate. This is a creamy Champagne, with a voluminous mouth presence and a brioche/chalk finish. Excellent.

Stonestreet "Upper Barn" Alexander Valley Chardonnay 2014
96
Wine Advocate
(10/28/2016) "From a site made famous by Helen Turley when she was buying its fruit, the 2014 Chardonnay Upper Barn is at an 1,800-foot elevation and spent 11 months in 52% new French oak. A killer Chardonnay (as it always has been), the wine offers up notes of wet gravel, citrus oil, apple blossom, orange marmalade, honeysuckle, and a hint of almond paste. Fabulous fruit on the attack, mid-palate and finish characterizes this dry, gorgeous, compelling Chardonnay that should age effortlessly for a decade or more."

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(1/2020) "A new wine in this range, the 2017 Chablis Vau de Vey 1er Cru is powerful and racy in the glass, with tremendous textural richness and volume. Tropical fruit and white flowers give the 2017 a decidedly racy character, and yet there is more than enough energy and vivacity to allow the 2017 to age well for many years to come. This is such a gorgeous wine. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2037."

Leeuwin "Art Series" Margaret River Chardonnay 2017

James Suckling
(4/28/2020) "Such complexity and resolve make for a very attractive nose with peaches, grapefruit, cedary oak spice, gunflint and wet stones. The palate has a plush, smoothly resolved texture with a rich, creamy texture and all-encompassing, ripe stone-fruit flavors, ahead of a very long, smooth finish. Grilled-hazelnut and apricot-kernel flavors to close. Great to drink now, but certainly a decade of cellaring in the tank, too. Screw cap."
