92 John Gilman - View from the Cellar

""The new release of the Ployez-Jacquemart non-vintage Brut is outstanding on both the nose and palate. The blend is made up of sixty percent pinot noir and pinot meunier, combined with forty percent chardonnay. The bouquet is deep, quite marked by its red grape components and beautifully complex, as it jumps from the glass in a blaze of ripe apple, blood orange, fresh-baked bread, caraway seed, citrus peel and a very complex base of minerality. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and snappy, with a great core of fruit, bright acids, great focus, very fine mousse and exceptional grip on the very long, minerally and intensely flavored finish. There is a depth and flavor authority here that is most rare in Brut NVs, and as good as this wine is today, it will only get better if cellared for a few years. Superb bubbly."

Smoky, with overtones of toasted brioche and nut mixing with flavors of ripe peach, fresh quince, lemon pound cake and candied orange zest. With firm acidity and a core of minerality, this is distinctive, with a long, mouthwatering finish. Disgorged April 2012. Drink now through 2018. 500 cases imported. –AN

Ripe strawberries and red plums are complemented by hints of dried herbs and orange peel on the nose. The medium-bodied palate is smooth and juicy, featuring gentle grip, a dusting of texture and a pure, red-fruited finish. Drink now.

Mesmerizing toasted brioche aromas leap from the glass, while fl avors of caramel apple, orange, lemon zest and honey dance on the palate. Tasting blind, one could be fooled into thinking this is Champagne. A remarkable wine that overdelivers for its price.

A very attractive Gigondas that marries black-cherry and complex Mediterranean-herb aromas to a wealth of velvety tannins on the medium- to full-bodied palate. The long, very elegant finish pulls you back for more. Delicious now but also has excellent aging potential. Drink or hold.

90 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Plenty of ripe, succulent fruit on a full body and a smooth, rounded texture. Applesauce, pineapple, brown butter and vanilla bean flavors give ample richness. Drink now. Screw cap.

Bright and refined with aromas of blackberries, cassis, fresh tobacco, crushed stones and dark chocolate. The palate is full-bodied and polished with fine tannins and vibrant fruit. Defined and balanced with a touch of minerality. Drink or hold.

Soft and slightly diffuse, with mulled red and black cherry fruit backed by shaved vanilla and a light echo of dill. Drink now. 11,000 cases made.

"The 2023 Chardonnay De La Guerra is a terrific introduction to this range from Hyde de Villaine. Hints of apricot, chamomile, tangerine oil and light tropical inflections unfurl in the glass. This vibrant, steely Chardonnay is so expressive. Think of the De La Guerra as the village wine here. What a delight."

Quite a bit more taut and nervy than the Rosé de Pauline tasted alongside, the 2024 Vin de Corse Rosé Gris de Marquiliani boasts a lightning bolt of minerality and propulsive acidity. White flowers, crushed rocks, seaspray and orange peel rush across the palate, leaving behind a pleasant echo of bitterness.
