The 2025 Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Ungrafted is a 50/50 blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc from Isla de Maipo that was aged for four months in large oak casks (50 hL). The nose opens with white fruit, herbal notes, ripe citrus and a soft touch of chamomile. Dry and fresh, the palate shows vibrant acidity, energy and a smooth texture. Tasty and persistent, it offers a different take on white wines from the Central Valley.

Another wine in this range of compelling identity, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon marries old-school varietal signatures with midweight texture and fruit-forward approachability. Rich blackberry, dark chocolate, grilled herbs and sweet pipe tobacco flesh out in the glass. Generous but not heavy, the 2023 will delight lovers of New World-inflected but classically built wines. Fabulous.

A lovely mix of old-school charm and contemporary polish, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon combines a lush core of dark fruits with lifted, herbal and tobacco nuances. The palate is rich and velvety yet light on its feet as it moves into a deep, resonant finish propelled by chalky tannins and a measured, vibrant spine of acidity.

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. <

"Restrained fruitiness with aromas of raspberries and earth, alongside a complex spicy blend of freshly ground black pepper, milk, mint, bay leaf and cocoa powder. Very youthful. Full-bodied, dense and balanced, with savory flavors of chocolate and cherries, super-tasty style, tight, chalky yet ripe tannins and a fresh, cleansing acidity. Toasty finish. Drinkable now, but best in a year or two."

Textured, balanced and attractive with aromas of spiced apples, dried plums and baking spices. Medium-bodied with plenty of texture and fresh acidity adding drive to the long, vibrant and flavorful finish. Drink or hold.

"A lovely hint of honeysuckle accents the flavors of mirabelle plum, white cherry, anise and grated ginger in this vibrant Champagne, which is finely knit and detailed in texture, with a mouthwatering finish of ripe fruit, spice and chalk accents. Disgorged November 2019. Drink now through 2025. 40,000 cases made, 6,930 cases imported."

"The latest release of Ployez-Jacquemart's emblematic NV Extra Quality Brut was disgorged with around five grams per liter dosage after three years on the lees. Mingling aromas of orange oil and fresh peach with hints of brioche and smoke, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a tightly wound core, racy acids and a dry, chalky finish. It will show even better after an additional year or two on cork."

"Snappy, with plenty of ginger and glazed citrus notes to the dried cherry, plum and raspberry flavors. Features loads of chocolate and spice on the long, lush finish, with hints of white pepper. Drink now." —K.M.

Quite firm bitter-cherry impression but with good life and bite. Not a centrepiece wine but a very creditable red 2023. GV (JR)

A rich, dark wine with ripe cherries, raspberries, cocoa powder and subtle black pepper on the nose. Full-bodied, dense and velvety with thick tannins and toasty flavors, it shows crisp acidity and a finish of almonds and marzipan. Drink or hold.

92 Wine Enthusiast

Very rich and concentrated but also well structured, this wine achieves good balance and an appetizing mouthfeel. Red and black cherries, cinnamon, cedar and toasted oak all contribute to its tasty flavor complexity. Best from 2026–2036.

95 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

"Such a youthful La Croix that’s full of bright blue fruit with lots of mineral tension. Violets, graphite and wet stones on the nose. Tight-grained and crunchy on the palate, with an almost full body and a long, fresh and compact finish. Firm, fresh and vibrant, with nicely chewy, stony tannins. It needs three to four years to come around. 66% merlot, 32% cabernet sauvignon and 2% petit verdot. Drink from 2029."

The second wine of the château, the 2022 La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou is slightly more Merlot based, as the majority of the Cabernet Sauvignon went to the Grand Vin. Based on 66% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Petit Verdot, it has a dense purple hue as well as brilliant aromatics of ripe black cherries, cassis, graphite, and spring flowers. This carries to a medium to full-bodied Saint-Julien offering fine, polished tannins, remarkable elegance, and a great finish. Despite being a second wine, this brings ample structure and tannins and will have well over two decades of longevity.

93 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

The 2022 La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou is a huge, dense wine. A blast of dark cherry, plum, chocolate, leather, incense and new leather saturates the palate. Broad, ample and explosive, with staining intensity, La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou is a plush, opulent Saint-Julien. There's tremendous textural presence here, with the tannins to match.
