A heady perfume of lemon peel, white grapefruit and florals, with a metallic, coppery tinge opens. Flavors are more muted, the gentle creamy texture and mouth-watering acidity, which creeps in on the midpalate, taking center stage. Subtle enough to handle boldly flavored cuisine like Thai or Mexican. — Christina Pickard

An ersatz field blend, co-fermented: vermentino (73%), fiano (16%) and backing vocals of grechetto, greco, glera, pinot bianco and grigio. Light-weighted, bright, frisky and immensely versatile at the table. Stone fruit allusions meld with accents of quince, preserved lemon, tangerine and frangipani. The finish, a saline slake of powdery phenolics. Easy drinking stuff with a whiff of intrigue. Drink now.

"Honeyed mirabelle plum and toasted filbert aromas make a fetching pair. Lemon shaved ice and fresh basil flavors are equally refreshing. Decent acidity, with some midpalate weight. -MA"

"Citrus, white pears and hints of snow peas on the nose of this juicy and crisp white. It’s medium-bodied, bright and cool, with a light peppery twist at the end. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap." - Claire Nesbitt

"The 2024 Grüner Veltliner Kamptal Terrassen comes from various sites in Kamptal, across different altitudes and from younger vines of the single sites. It was made in stainless steel. Creamy, lemony yeast is the first accent on the nose, followed by wet pebble. The palate is fresh, lithe and lemony, with subtle earthiness on the mid-palate and gentle citrus freshness."

Super-vibrant nose of green apples, lime and yellow grapefruit zest plus a touch of fresh garden herbs. Very sleek with a grapefruit acidity that some may find challenging, but which really excites us, because it’s wedded to plenty of zesty fruit. Makes just 10.5% alcohol work really well. Drink or hold.

Fruity, mellow and joyful, this blend of shiraz and grenache shows aromas of currants, wild herbs and dried flowers. Medium-bodied with melty tannins. Fruit-forward and easygoing, with a satisfying finish. Drink now. Screw cap.

92 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

"Plum, pomegranate, rose-hip, graphite and vanilla aromas. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Layered and elegant. Second wine of Prieure-Lichine. Try from 2024."

Rich ruby color. Inviting aromas and flavors of warm, freshly made raspberry and strawberry preserves with a hint of sweet pickle. Tangy and fruity sweet with medium-to-full body and a long, mouthwatering blood orange, apple skin, and mineral accented finish. Great purity and style. (tasted on Dec-09-2013)

A blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2024 Haut-Marbuzet shows a more reserved and austere character than in recent vintages. It opens with aromas of dark berries, flowers and subtle spices. Medium-bodied, the wine is juicy and supple, driven by tangy acidity and framed by firm tannins that lead to a compact, somewhat short finish. Hailstorms significantly impacted the Marbuzet plateau, and the damage is evident in the diminished quality and concentration of this year’s wine.

The 2021 Chardonnay Bentrock opens with striking, expansive aromatics. There's a bit more new oak here, and that also comes through. Orchard fruit, mint, white flowers, white pepper and pear all open with some coaxing. I especially admire the wine's inner sweetness. All the 2021 needs is a bit of time to emerge. <

90 Rebecca Gibb MW - Vinous Media

Wild fermentation, a little bit of barrel-aging on lees and a 10% addition of Sémillon in the blend make the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc far from your stereotypical Marlborough style. This wine plays on its clarity, texture and freshness. It's aromatically subtle, with green notes meeting nectarine and blackcurrant. While the region's natural freshness abounds, the wine retains a round shape and natural curve before being sewn up by a thread of acidity. There are layers of interest here that will keep you coming back.

Disgorged in June of 2025 with zero dosage and based on 100% Marsanne, the 2020 Saint-Péray Les Bulles D'Alain displays a medium gold hue with very fine bubbles. It offers a classy nose of ripe orchard fruits, brioche, green almonds, and croissant. It's medium-bodied and has a pure, layered, elegant mousse, terrific balance, and outstanding length. I like it today, yet it should keep nicely through 2035. Drink 2026-2035.

91 Peter Moser - Falstaff

Rich golden yellow in colour. An intense nose of ripe yellow apple, thyme, some lardo, and grown-up undertones. The fine mousse plays around the palate with tasty tart notes of quince and grapefruit, allied to a pleasant acid core. Good length on the finish, ending with white chocolate in the aftertaste. An exceptional Crémant made from 100 percent Marsanne.

91 Nicolas Greinacher - Vinous

The outgoing 2020 Saint-Péray Les Bulles d'Alain first projects forthright yellow apple, ripe pear, white peach and twists of brioche. Dried blossom adds a gentle floral lift. Medium-bodied and vivifying, the 2020 is an enticing Les Bulles d'Alain, settling the final impression with toasty finesse on the complex final beat. Disgorged June 2023. Zero dosage. Lot Nr. BR20-2506.
