Domaine Poulleau Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2015
95
Our Score
Poulleau's Corton Charlemagne come from a single half-hectare parcel featuring full Southern exposure. This wine saw 100% new oak before bottling. Incredibly rich and decadent, the plush, hefty mouth presence is beautifully balanced with strong acidity and a fine mineral spine. Indulgent Chardonnay that's fully worth it. Actually, compared to most Corton Charlie prices, this is a total steal!

(11/2014) "The 2004 Dom Ruinart is just as brilliant and viscerally thrilling as it has always been. If anything, the 2004 has shut down considerably over the last six months. Tightly coiled and exceptionally beautiful, the 2004 boasts fabulous intensity, class and pedigree. The flavors are vibrant, chiseled and crystalline in their precision. Time in bottle is doing wonders for the 2004. This is a tremendous showing. Disgorged June 2013."

Wine Advocate
(10/31/2017) "The 2015 Chardonnay Ma Princesse is opulent and sexy, revealing alluring honeyed white peach, apple pie and guava notes with touches of allspice, brioche, praline and crushed stones.

Pierre Gimonnet "Special Club" Brut 1er Cru 2012
93
Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(11/2018) "Interestingly, the 2012 Special Club is quite a bit riper and bigger than any of the three single-village Special Clubs. Light tropical overtones meld into a core of candied orange peel, apricot, chamomile and wild flowers. In this tasting, the 2012 comes across as adolescent and not fully put together. Hopefully that will come in time. Disgorged: July 20, 2017."

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."

A Terry Theise Selection, Chartogne-Taillet is one of the most exciting young growers in Champagne.

(3/2018) "Pahlmeyer's 2016 Chardonnay (Napa Valley) is bright, precise and nuanced, even though it underwent full malolactic fermentation and was aged in 100% new heavy toast Francois Freres barrels. Apricot, honey, dried flowers and lightly buttery notes get a kick of energy from the freshness of vintage and the personality of the mountain sites (Estate and Antica) that inform this bottling, Winemaker Bibiana Gonzalez-Rave has brought an added level of finesse to the Pahlmeyer Chardonnay. Drink 2018-2028."

Kosta Browne "One Sixteen" Russian River Chardonnay 2016

Jeb Dunnuck
(6/5/2018) "Bottled in December and sourced from sites mostly in the Russian River (there's a small amount of Sonoma Coast in here), the 2016 Chardonnay One Sixteen is the larger production cuvee of the estate and could be thought of as the flagship Chardonnay. It reveals the fresher, crisper style of all the wines from Kosta Browne today and has lively notes of green citrus, stone fruits, toasted almonds, and white flowers. Steely and vibrant today, with beautiful purity, it's going to flesh out nicely with a year in bottle and keep for 6-7 years."
