The Vina Sanzo Vinas Viejas, pure Verdejo aged at low temperature, is clean and fruit-driven, quite simple with aromas of white fruit and some hints of hay and freshly cut grass. The palate is light with marked acidity that is still to be integrated. It is fresh and easy to drink.

Ripe fruit, withered flowers, wild herbs, spicy. Balanced, tasty, powerful.

The 2014 Chablis Grand Cru les Clos sees 24 months in stainless steel, of which half is on the fine lees. It has a lifted, yellow flower and walnut-scented, rather smoky bouquet that is harmonious and detailed. It actually gains intensity in the glass with just a few swirls. The palate is well balanced with a strong saline component, but then it clams up towards the structured finish.

Peach, apple and spice flavors ply the rich texture, while lively acidity keeps this white balanced, pushing it to a lingering conclusion.

The 2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières is a very nice example of the vintage, wafting from the glass with a generous bouquet of buttered apples, citrus zest, white flowers and a lavish framing of nutty new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, rich and flavorful with a textural attack, chewy mid-palate and succulent acids. The finish is long and racy, though this is definitely a ripe, buxom rendition of Folatières which is very characteristic of the vintage.

A wine that combines notes of citrus and white fruit with minerality. Gold color, the nose combines notes of roasting, caramel and candied fruits. Full, fat and dense on the palate. The whole is concentrated, it is supported by a beautiful liveliness illustrated by notes of candied fruit. Good persistence on the finish for a complex and gourmet wine.

La Moynerie 2018 is the unique mineral and saline expression of a sauvignon blanc grown in four terroirs, made up of different types of limestone and flint, located in the heart of Pouilly-Fumé, one of the most important appellations in the Loire Valley.

Sweet wine from Sauternes.

The 2013 Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch looks like one of their all-time greats, and to date they’ve all been very impressive wines. The crisp tangerine, honeyed citrus, pear and white peach notes are prominent in this beautifully fruited medium to full-bodied Chardonnay that shows additional orange marmalade notes in the mouth. It’s textured, crisp acid, from having not gone though malolactic, gives it focus and zest, and the overall impression is one of brilliant richness subtly touched by smoke, but letting the fruit dominate.
