98 Points - Tim Atkin MW. La Nieta has been coined one of the best wines in the country from Rioja Alavesa. Applying a viticulture respectful with the environment following the biorhythms of the plant and organic fertilisation. The result is a pure expression of the fruit and environment. Patience has been rewarded, with 3 years in French oak and further bottle age providing a full, complex and gratifying experience for the lucky drinker.  Vivino Rating: 4.6 (Apr 2024) Wine Press Ratings 98 Poin

97 Points - Jasper Morris MW. In the heart of the Côte des Blancs to the south of the village of Meursault is the famed 1er cru Genevrières, named after the juniper trees that used to grow there many years ago. The Domaine Latour-Giraud Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is a wine of exquisite structure and length, with a wonderful elegance and smooth rounded palate. Pure, very fine with nice fruit on the nose. The palate shows a deep complexity with an exceptional minerality and energy. Round, deep,

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast. A savoury edge of sage and dried herb combines with richer flavors of berries and cola. Textured tannins and bright acidity lend support to this balanced wine from a cool-climate appellation." This is an approachable and beautiful Pinot Noir with fine-grained tannins, freshness and purity. Intense aromas of Bing cherry, strawberry, carnation flowers and liquorice notes pour from the glass. Though nicely dense and full on the palate, the wine avoids heaviness with fre

95 Points - Jasper Morris. The Château Gris castle was built in the 18th century in the middle of its 3.5 ha (8.6 acre) walled vineyard. After the vineyards were destroyed by phylloxera, the roof of the castle was covered with grey slate although tiles are the traditional material used in Burgundy. The people of Nuits-Saint-Georges therefore began to refer to it as Château Gris (grey castle) and the name stuck. Further to a court ruling in the 1920s, the name “Château Gris” was allowed to prevai

92-94 Points - Vinous Media. This wine is a Domaine du Pavillon “monopole”. It has the extremely rare distinction of possessing 2 different levels of appellation within the same 2 ha (5 acres) vineyard. "En Mareschaut" is derived from the Old French term “maresche” (marsh). The lower parts of Aloxe-Corton and Ladoix-Serrigny were marshy due to their proximity to the Lauve spring. Major drainage work was undertaken to dry up the land and make it suitable for planting vines. This grapes in this vi

95 Points - Daniel Blais. The 45-year old vines are planted in complex soils comprising alluvial deposits, rich clay and iron oxide. This combination of factors produces a Nuits-Saint-Georges that is at once sophisticated and strong, thereby setting it apart from the other less well situated terroirs within the appellation. Handpicked, the grapes are transported to the cellar in 15 kg crates before being sorted by hand so as to solely use perfectly ripened and healthy grapes. 100% de-stemmed, th

94 Points - Stephen Tanzer - The 'Aux Bousselots' Premier Cru vines are on a well-drained, south-facing plot on the Vosne-Romanée side of the village which has a reputation for making a very gracious style of Burgundy with a natural charm. Aromas of small red fruits and spices, the tannic structure was firm in its youth but has gained softness over time, and this 2014 has matured beautifully and is in its prime.

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast. Ripe dark cherry colour. Really aromatic, with black cherry preserves, raspberry jam, with rose petals, clove, cola, warm clay.

92 Points Wine Spectator. From one of the finest vintages of the century. Château Chantelune is a jewel located on top of the highest hill in Margaux, Château Chantelune is a unique property. Its previous owner, Mr. Soubrane was a carpenter who believed in felling his trees by moonlight, claiming this gave the best quality wood. His practice gave the property its name, meaning “sing to the moon.” He sold his land to José Sanfins, director at third growth property, Château Cantenac Brown. Forty y
