2018 Henri Boillot Meursault

Burgundy, FRANCE
$160. 00
Bottle
$1920.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork

A blend of equal proportions from Narvaux, Tillets, Clos du Cromin, Limozin and Chevalières.

Other Reviews....
ripe yet cool nose features notes of petrol, hazelnut, acacia and poached pear. There is again excellent energy to the acceptably concentrated flavors that culminate in a clean, dry and crisp finish. This too is quite good for its level.

Allen Meadows - Burghound

Aromas of pear, green apple, white flowers, fresh pastry and toasted hazelnuts introduce the 2018 Meursault Village, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive wine that's chalky and structured, showing real depth and tension. As usual, it's a blend of superior lieux-dits, including Narvaux, En la Barre, Limuzin and Clos du Cromin.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 2020)

There is a really impressive weight of fruit at the back, starting to marry with its oak. Pale lemon. Some biscuit on the nose but a wealth of Meursault fruit from 5 plots in Petit Charrons, Narvaux, Tillets, Chevalières and Limozin.

2018 Henri Boillot Puligny Montrachet Clos de la Mouchere Premier Cru

Burgundy, FRANCE
$330. 00
Bottle
$3960.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork

From 60+ year old vines and the vineyard is a whopping 4 ha monopole within Perrières.

Other Reviews....
A whiff of matchstick is present on the elegant and highly restrained aromas of acacia blossom, spice, white orchard fruit and a hint of Asian-style tea. There is excellent volume and minerality to the strikingly textured medium-bodied flavors that display outstanding complexity on the balanced, dry and impressively persistent finish. This is one very classy wine that is already wonderfully harmonious.

Allen Meadows - Burghound

Boillot's emblematic 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Mouchère has turned out brilliantly, wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, hazelnut, dried white flowers, citrus oil, blanched almonds and smoke. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with terrific concentration, searing levels of extract and a long, mineral finish.
95 points
William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 2020)

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Mouchère 1er Cru has a fresh and detailed bouquet that conveys more energy than the Meursault Genevrières. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, lightly spiced with admirable depth and a tang of sea salt towards the finish. This is a well crafted Puligny that should give 12-15 years of drinking pleasure.

Closure: Cork

85% from Meursault and Puligny Bourgogne vines and the rest from declassified St. Romain and Auxey-Duresses in equal proportions.

Other Reviews....
There is a very subtle whiff of the exotic to the citrus and petrol-tinged aromas of white peach and soft wood. The intense, indeed even racy, well-detailed flavors exude a bead of minerality on the saline, dry and lingering finish. This is really quite good for its level and worth checking out.

2018 Henri Boillot Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru

Burgundy, FRANCE
$499. 00
Bottle
$5988.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
A ripe, cool and equally restrained nose offers up notes of green apple, floral, an array of citrus and, like the Chevalier, plenty of mineral reduction. There is excellent power and volume to the delicious yet entirely serious broad-shouldered flavors that possess both terrific cut and minerality, all wrapped in a clean, dry and youthfully austere finale. This isn't quite as dense or powerful as the Montrachet but even so, there is much to admire and note well that this too should age exceptionally well.
94 points
Allen Meadows - Burghound

The most youthfully reserved wine in the cellar was the 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, a promising bottling that opens up to reveal scents of citrus zest, dried white flowers, green apple and pastry cream. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with racy acids and prodigious levels of searingly chalky dry extract that lend this wine incredible structure.
95 points
William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 2020)

The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a gentle bouquet that unfurls in the glass, revealing orange pith, quince and light walnut aromas. The palate is well balanced with a sappy opening, a fine bead of acidity with a cohesive, ginger tinged finish that lingers in the mouth. Very fine - it conveys a sense of completeness that is missing in some other examples from this Grand Cru site.

Neal Martin - Vinous

From all three villages but mostly Aloxe. This year he has picked the grapes and pressed them himself. A little green tint here in the colour and a pure chiselled nose, austere like the man himself! Impressive intensity at the finish, that’s where the class shows. Excellent grip too.

2021 Herve Souhaut Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet Blanc

Northern Rhone, FRANCE
$69. 99
Bottle
$839.88 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Hervé Souhaut is one of a kind, producing some of the most lithe, perfumed, and exuberant wines from the Rhone. He and his wife converted the cellars of her parents' centuries-old hunting lodge into the winery and now draw on four parcels of vines totaling 8.5 acres in Saint Joseph, as well as 20 additional acres of Vin de Pays vineyards on the plateau, planted primarily to Gamay, Roussanne and Viognier. The AOC wines are labeled under Souhaut's name, while the Vin de Pays cuvées are named Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet, in homage to the name of her parents' estate combined with Béatrice's family name.
The methods of Jules Chauvet are followed here, which is to say grapes are hand-harvested and then the whole bunches undergo a pre-fermentation maceration at low temperature. Fermentation follows using natural yeasts in wooden and concrete tanks – the wine is then aged on fine lees in seasoned oak casks for eight to twelve months. Following that there is just a teeny dose of sulfur at bottling, which is done without filtration.
The rare Romaneaux-Destezet Blanc is produced from 90% Roussanne 10% Viognier. Light gold in the glass with lovely scents of white flowers, tropical fruit, wet stones and subtle notes of seasoned oak. The palate is supple but fresh with loads of pear and spiced apricot flavours that are backed by elegant mineral notes. Fine and crisp acidity, pear preserve and a gentle warmth lingers on the finish.

Tasted from the vat, the 2016 Riesling Uhlen R 'VDP Grosse Lage' shows a flinty-mineral, very deep, precise and flinty bouquet. On the palate, this is a tensioned, very mineral and energetic Riesling with lingering salinity. Full-bodied and full of tension, this is a very promising Riesling. Tasted February 2018.

Stephan Reinhardt - Wine Advocate #236 (Apr 2018)

Although this has great depth and power, it is less lush and more delicate than Heyamnn-Löwenstein's other 2016 dry rieslings. Noble austerity at the very dry and super-mineral finish.

Jancis Robinson

White peach, fig, muskmelon and lime are sitetypically accented with anise and smoky black tea on an effusive nose and a luscious, lush, silkentextured palate. One finds not only smokiness and chalky stone infusion but also a tingling sense of crystalline mineral impingement to the animated, long-lasting, mouthwateringly salt-tinged finish. “I’m really very, very satisfied with this,” noted Löwenstein, “as it comes close to my ideal of ripe, even tropical fruit combined with a cooling, minerally finish. In the past,” he added, “my Röttgen was often quite baroque and very broad due to botrytis influence and a few too many shrivelled berries, whereas now we have finesse, while preserving the strength of Röttgen.” I can’t disagree with that assessment.

David Schildknecht - Vinous

This proves still rather reduced and only gradually reveals a beautiful nose made of grapefruit zest underpinned by a hint of passion fruit and fruit salad on the nose, all nicely wrapped into mineral and herby elements. The wine dances on the palate and leaves a medium-bodied and beautifully elegant and persistent feel of smoke and minerals in the delicately fruity even if slightly powerful finish. Despite the touch of power, the wine remains delightfully balanced right into the long after-taste. There is quite some upside here as the wine further gains in elegance and harnesses its power with bottle age. 2021-2036.

The clear and fresh, citrus-yellow colored 2017 Uhlen Blaufüsser Lay shows a beautifully fine and intense bouquet of perfectly ripe Riesling berries with crunchy slate aromas and a tropical touch. Full-bodied, intense and enormously salty on the palate, this is a very fine and long Uhlen with sexy fruit and elegant texture. Crystalline but lush and assertive, this has grip and tension and a remarkable intensity. Another great wine from winemaker Kathrin Starke and her boss Reinhard Löwenstein. Tasted during the preview of the GG wines in Wiesbaden in August 2018.

Stephan Reinhardt - Wine Advocate #239 (Nov 2018)

Very concentrated, but the sleekest and most filigree of this producer's trio of single-terroir wines from the Uhlen site. The blue slate of these terraces has given this a lemon and mint character, plus just a hint of peach. Very long finish that feels almost weightless.

The 2017 Röttgen displays a white-golden color with a citrus-yellow shimmer. The nose is deep and flinty, with perfectly ripe, precise stone fruit intermixed with crunchy slate aromas. Highly elegant and beautifully balanced, this is an almost creamy-textured Röttgen with great finesse and elegance. The finish is lush and stimulatingly salty, provided with very fine tannins and a lovely grip with very fine bitters. Very long, intense and fresh. One of the classics of Hermann-Löwenstein. Tasted during the preview of the GG wines in Wiesbaden in August 2018.

Still rather funky on the nose from wild ferment and long lees contact, this has plenty of pineapple and lemon zest on the palate. It may start out quite creamy, but then it turns firm and seriously mineral on the long finish.

2015 Heymann-Lowenstein Rottgen Riesling Grosses Gewachs

Mosel, GERMANY
$89. 99
Bottle
$1079.88 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Stelvin

Other Reviews....
Smoky and pungent aromatic notes of toasted grain, grapefruit peel, and anise, along with saline, alkaline sea breeze, are vaguely backed by tropical intimations of papaya and mango. The polished, glycerol-rich palate preserves this complex array of allusions and introduces a piquancy of fruit pits and pits that goes beyond their typical expression in Rieslings from the Lower Mosel terraces and into a glowing intensity of bitter almond that is palate-staining in its persistence. At the same time, prominently smoky and stony notes serve for site typicity. The overall impression, tropical fruits notwithstanding, is austere as well as impressively forceful. (Note that this wine’s being a Grosses Gewächs is signified, for reasons noted in my introduction, by a minuscule rendering of the initials “GG.")

David Schildknecht - vinous.com

The 2015 Riesling Röttgen 'VDP Grosse Lage' has the clear, deep, ripe, elegant and complex nose of a great wine. Crushed stone flavors along with almond cookie flavors and a thousand more flavors lead to a dense, powerful and well structured palate of great complexity and persistency. This Winninger Röttgen combines richness, power and structure with finesse, transparency and elegance. The finish is stimulatingly salty and aromatic. This is a great dry and pretty powerful Riesling that will shine in 5-10 or more years.

Stephan Reinhardt - RobertParker.com #229 (Mar 2017)

Subtle nuances of honey and lanolin reflect the ripeness of the fruit, the influence of spontaneous yeasts has been channelled into an exquisite herbal fragrance, a hint of violets adding a wonderful flowery touch. On the palate the Röttgen demonstrates fruit picked at the point of perfection with an excellent balance between sweet, juicy and mineral attributes. Full body, great substance and exhilarating freshness make the Röttgen one of the Greats of a great vintage.

Michael Schmidt - jancisrobinson.com

The wine proves slightly bold at this stage as it delivers ripe scents of canned peach, mirabelle, quince, herbs and spices on the nose and a delicate baroque and toffee-infused side full of grip on the palate. These elements are nicely framed by minerals in the intense finish, leaving one with a complex and very individualistic set of flavors in the after-taste. This wine is nicely made in the richer style that has made the success of Heymann-Löwenstein and, consequently, will need some time find its inner balance. 2018-2025

Other Reviews....
A dramatic and complex dry Mosel Riesling even if it has done some malolactic fermentation (there's a hint of butter which ought to integrate with bottle age). Lots of green chilli aroma alongside the ripe fruit, then the spicy finish kicks in and leaves you in no doubt. Better from 2018 through 2035.

Stuart Pigott - jamessuckling.com

All the wines from this producer are darker than most. Funkissimo on the nose. Sort of burnished gold nose. Very dry finish. And masses to chew on in the middle. SO different from the other wines in this collection! Lip-smacking and satisfying. Though relatively low in acidity. These are wines you need a knife and fork for.
16.5/20 points
Jancis Robinson

White peach, mirabelle and lime inform an enticing nose and silken palate, and hints of cocoa powder and coffee add a sense of roasted richness. Yet, for all that, the lusciously long finish remains refreshingly juicy and remarkably transparent to stony and smoky nuances. Given its soft overall impression, I suspect this will not be one of those Heymann-Löwenstein bottlings worth holding for a decade or more. As is the case with other wines in the present collection, 13% alcohol does not engender any heat or heaviness; on the contrary, there is even some sense of buoyancy. It’s striking how different this wine from crumbly red slate is from the corresponding Stolzenberg, grown cheek-by-jowl but on unusually compact blue slate.

This offers a beautifully aromatic nose of fresh herbs, fine spices and smoke. The wine proves nicely balanced and elegant, with a great creamy feel of herbs and fine spices coming through on the palate.

Another rather yeasty 2017 from here. The peach, pomelo and green-chili aromas are just beginning to emerge.

$1800.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Stelvin

Other Reviews....
An enticing nose of fennel pollen, coriander, white peach and kumquat sets the stage for a silken-textured, expansive palate at once lush and piquant. The piquant elements are woven glowingly into the long-lasting finish here so as to maximize invigoration while avoiding outright bitterness, while green herbal essences lend a cooling aura. Underlying wet stone acts as a Mosel signature, and subtle salinity serves for saliva-inducement. I last tasted this from both casks of it in September 2016, and have tried to do justice to a composite impression in a single tasting note. The wine was due to have been bottled in the spring of 2017. (Note that a large letter “R” will once again stand in for “Roth Lay” on this wine’s label, but beneath that is written in tiny letters “Schieferformation Roth-Lay.” And the initials that signify Grosses Gewächs, as with Löwenstein’s other wines and for reasons indicated in my introduction, will appear in almost infinitesimally small print.)

Tasted from the barrel and still dusty in its ripe golden color, the 2015 Riesling Uhlen R 'VDP Grosse Lage' (which is always bottled late) combines super ripe, rich and intense tropical fruit aromas (pineapples) with the spicy flavors of red (iron-rich) slate. The palate, however, is stunningly pure and finessed, highly elegant and almost light whereas the finish is very long, full of salt, grip and tension. A great promise!

Stephan Reinhardt - RobertParker.com #229 (Mar 2017)

We tasted the three different casks which will make out the final Uhlen R. While there are differences in structure and mouth-feel between the casks, all casks offers a similarly gorgeous nose of candied grapefruit, yellow peach, wet stones and fine dried spices. The wine is beautifully well balanced on the palate, marrying aromatic precision with silky smoothness and delicately tickly zest as fruit and minerals coat the palate. The finish is beautifully pure and multi-layered. There is huge potential here if the wine’s presence and finesse will make it into the bottle and shine through at maturity. 2020-2030

Other Reviews....
Zesty fresh lemon and a quarry-dust-like suggestion of crushed stone on the nose set the relatively austere, pungent tone for this bottling, as confirmed by incisive mustard seed as well as glowing piquancy of peach kernel on a polished but firm palate. Fresh lemon juiciness conveys welcome refreshment to the penetratingly persistent finish. It will be interesting to witness whether this loosens up with some time in bottle, and I would give it a year or two before even revisiting. (As explained in my introduction, you might need a magnifying glass to find the initials “GG” on its label that testify to this wine’s being a Grosses Gewächs.)

The 2015 Riesling Kirchberg 'VDP Grosse Lage' opens with a generous and warm, ripe Riesling aroma intertwined with some herbal and iron lemon flavors on the clear and elegant nose. This is a full-bodied, charming, finessed and elegant wine with fine tannin structure and a dry and persistent finish. Still young, the Kirchberg will benefit from further bottle aging.

The fragrance is showing the acceptable face of spontaneous fermentation with vegetal aromas of elderflower and mint. First Riesling of the day and already the WOW factor! If there is such a thing as crunchy passion fruit, this is it, and rhubarb and sorrel lend a sappy green and invigorating edge. Lifted even more by an almost steely acidity.
18/20 points
Michael Schmidt - jancisrobinson.com

This wine is rather reduced but offers a gorgeously flowery nose of pear and Provence herbs. It proves superbly elegant on the palate where grip and saltiness define the aromatics. Great multi-layered complexity already comes through in the long and airy finish. This is still very primary and in need of bottle age to balance out but this beauty will easily turn into the most complete and elegant expression of Kirchberg we have taste to date. This is hugely impressive and has even some upside potential. 2018-2025

Mosel, GERMANY
$77. 99
Bottle
$935.88 Dozen

ABV: 8.5%

Closure: Cork

The Weber family of Hofgut Falkenstein have been making ultra-traditional Rieslings in the Saar district of the Mosel region since the mid-eighties; there they farm about 9 hectares in and around the villages of Niedermennig and Krettnach. Erich, the family winzer (winegrower in german) works alongside his middle son Johannes, who has joined him full-time in the vineyards and cellar in recent years. Ever since there has been more of a focus on Rieslings with residual sugar. The emphasis on their work is in the vineyard, where no pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers are employed and cover crops are grown to encourage biodiversity and, when necessary, competition with the vines for water. With their straightforward approach to winemaking the Webers craft light, distinctive and racy Rieslings displaying well-integrated acidity from their low yielding old vines, and are bottled traditionally by the cask.
Other Reviews....
The 2022er Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Kabinett Kugel Peter (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label after the AP number) was harvested on 50-year-old from partially un-grafted vines in the prime Gross Schock sector of the vineyard, which was classified in the highest category on the old taxation maps, and was fermented down to barely fruity-styled levels of residual sugar. It shows a beautifully fresh and finely aromatic nose of spices, gooseberry, cassis, rote redcurrant, herbal tea, and lime. The wine is beautifully playful and still compact on the palate, as the juicy elements of yellow fruits are wrapped into bright and lively juicy acidity. The finish is vibrating and superbly energetic. What a great Kabinett! Drink 2029-2042.

The 2022er Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Spätlese Klaus (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label after the AP number) comes from fruit harvested on 60-year-old vines in the prime Gross Schock sector of the vineyard and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar. Still very reductive at first and herbal at first, this needs a few minutes in the glass to reveal a superbly attractive and fresh nose of minty herbs, aniseed, elderflower, Conference pear, and mustard seeds. The wine is superbly juicy and mouth-coating on the layered and spicy palate. The finish is layered and finely aromatic. This is a beautiful Spätlese. Drink 2032-2047.

The 2022er Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Kabinett Alte Reben Gisela (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label after the AP number) was harvested in a parcel still planted with 70-80-year-old un-grafted vines in the prime Gross Schock sector of the vineyard, which was classified in the highest category on the old taxation maps, and was fermented down to barely fruity-styled levels of residual sugar. This offers a beautifully fresh and magnificently herbal and spicy nose of candied lime, grapefruit zest, redcurrant, violet, fresh almond, and greengage. The wine is superbly packed into great ripe and juicy acidity. The finish is beautifully tangy and playful. What a great Kabinett! Drink 2032-2047.

The 2019 Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Kabinett #13 Athuro is high-precision Riesling at its very best! Very pure, fresh and bright on the very stony nose that also displays white fruit, lemon, subtle nutmeg, leafy and green gooseberry aromas. Very delicate and salty on the palate, this is a pure, round, juicy, highly complex, finessed and elegant, persistently structured and tickling Euchariusberg with great sophistication and endless salinity. This is a fabulous, expressive, tight and terroir-driven Kabinett with 8% alcohol and an almost dramatic finish that asks for all of your patience. The parcel was taken over from Arthur Mangold, owner of the Landhaus Euchariusberg.

The 2019er Euchariusberg Riesling Kabinett Athuro (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label) was harvested at 83° Oechsle from 15 year-old vines in the prime Euchariusberg sector of the vineyard which was classified in the highest category on the old taxation maps, and was fermented down to barely fruity-styled levels of residual sugar (approx. 40 g/l). It offers a stunning nose made of citrusy fruits, red berried fruits, herbs, spices, and wet stone. The wine proves superbly precise on the racy and focused palate as more orchard fruits mingle with minerals and some firm but ripe acidity. The finish is all about lemony raciness, subtle minerality and precision. This stunning Kabinett may prove already quite irresistible now, but it will only truly come into its own in a few years, after the flavors will have blossomed and blended together, and the sharpness receded: What a superb success!

From another old-vines single plot that is located at the peak of the hill on gray slate and quartzite soils, the 2019 Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Auslese #5 Förster opens with stony, herbal and super ripe Riesling notes on the nose, indicating a certain over-ripeness, possibly with a touch of botrytis. Juicy and elegant on the palate, this is a charming and digestible Auslese with a firm finish and some grippy tannins. More rustic than fine.

The wine starts off with a touch of whipped cream on the palate before a great kick of zesty acidity and citrusy fruits brings raciness and energy to the experience.

Notes of pear peel and citrus pith on the nose already suggest a wine that will have texture. The palate does not disappoint, and comes in with yeasty herbal fruitiness that is reminiscent of dried yarrow and salty yeast. A light juicy body surrounds this core of savoriness and finishes with dry freshness.

A very Meursault nose combines notes of ripe white and yellow orchard fruit with those of acacia blossom and grilled hazelnut.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 2021)
The 2019 Meursault Clos des École had been fined two weeks prior to my visit, and was due for bottling before the end of 2020. It has a simple, green apple and grapefruit bouquet that felt a little subdued when I tasted it. The palate is livelier, displaying a pleasant bitter edge and decent length, but I cannot help thinking that this is destined for drinking within four or five years, no longer. Drink 2021 - 2025.

There's a slight green edge to the nose of the 2020 Sauvignon Blanc—something along the lines of chili pepper, mint and lime zest—plus hints of tropical fruit and pink grapefruit. Concentrated and flavorful, this medium-bodied effort is gently silky in texture, with terrific length on the mouthwatering, citrusy finish. Probably the best vintage of this wine I've tasted since I began reviewing New Zealand wines in 2000. Drink 2021-2023.
