“Opening with concentrated and ripe fruit as well as honey flavors on the nose, the 2015 Rheingau Riesling Hochheimer Domdechaney Auslese is a lush, generous and piquant though not very precise or stimulating Auslese. It is very sweet and shows piquancy and grip but doesn’t have the precision and elegance found in the finest Auslesen.” 90 pts., Stephane Rheinhardt, robertparker.com

2020 Domaine Albert Bichot (Pavillon), Meursault Premier Cru, Charmes 6x75cl
An exciting new addition to our offer a couple of years ago, and continuing on good form in 2020, Domaine Du Pavillon is located south of Pommard in the Côte de Beaune. Just as at Domaine du Clos... Frantin in Nuits-Saint-Georges, they practice organic viticulture with an ongoing respect for the complex equilibrium found in nature. The winery was modernized in 2016, allowing the vinification of more of the Côte de Beaune’s star single vineyard wines. From the 2019 vintage, all the wines from the estate have borne the certified “organic wine” label.

2018 Chateau D’Aiguilhe, Castillon-Cotes de Bordeaux 12x75cl
"The 2018 d'Aiguilhe is fabulous. Rich and ample to the core, the 2018 bursts from the glass with striking intensity. Super-ripe red and purplish berry fruit, lavender and rose petals are some of the... many nuances that flesh out in the glass. This sumptuous, flamboyant Côtes de Castillon is a real stunner. The blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc." 89-92 pts., Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com

2020 Yves Boyer Martenot, Meursault Premier Cru, Charmes 12x75cl
From vines at the western edge of Meursault’s Premier cru vineyards, Vincent’s Charmes is aptly named. This pretty wine is already open and expressive with an enticing richness that complements its refined citrus and mineral backbone. A superb example of Chardonnay at its crafted best.

2018 Chateau Angludet, Margaux 6x75cl
The 2018 Angludet has a very attractive bouquet of pure blackberry and blueberry fruit, a discreet floral element and glimpses of cassis coming through with aeration. It is delicate but very refined.... The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a little pinched on the entry but gradually fanning out toward the finish, which is detailed and full of tension. One of the best vintages of Angludet that I have tasted in recent years. 91 pts., Neal Martin, www.vinous.com

2018 Chateau Gruaud Larose 2eme Cru Classe, Saint-Julien 6x75cl
"Composed of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Gruaud Larose has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It comes barreling out of the glass with powerful scents of... blackberry preserves, baked plums and crème de cassis plus hints of fruitcake, Indian spices and tobacco leaf. The medium to full-bodied palate offers bags of baked berries flavors and a chewy texture with just enough freshness, finishing spicy. Judging by the slightly rustic tannins and suggestions of dried berry characters, I'm guessing the heat and drought had an impact this year. This said, the wine is very well crafted and delicious right now, although a good 3-4 years in bottle should soften the tannins and bring out further nuances." 92 pts., Lisa Perrotti-Brown, www.robertparker.com

2019 Chateau Feytit-Clinet, Pomerol 6x75cl
"One of the most distinctive wines in Pomerol, the 2019 Feytit-Clinet emerges from the glass with a heady concoction of gravel, smoke, licorice, incense, grilled herbs, sweet French oak and inky dark... fruit. Virile, imposing and massively constituted, the 2019 possesses tremendous depth as well as persistence. As always, Feytit-Clinet is an especially rich, dense Pomerol. I can't wait to see how it develops." 95 pts., Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com

2018 Chateau Gloria, Saint-Julien 6x75cl
"The 2018 Gloria has a wonderful, harmonious bouquet of copious blackberry, briary, cedar and tobacco notes that just feels so... effortless. The very harmonious palate offers pure black fruit laced... with graphite. Displaying moderate weight and fine acidity, and quite linear and focused on the finish, this is a very classy Gloria that may warrant a higher score down the line." 93 pts., Neal Martin, www.vinous.com

2020 Boyer Martenot, Meursault, Les Narvaux Blanc 12x75cl
The lieu-dit “Narvaux” sits just above the rump of Meursault’s Premier Cru vineyards and abuts the village border with Puligny. Vincent’s Narvaux expresses this location beautifully by... combining the power of Meursault with the silky elegance more commonly associated with wines from across the village track. It is rich and buttery with gentle hints of oak, but its precision and steeliness combine to give a wine of great class and fitness.

2020 Thibault Liger-Belair, Bourgogne, Grands Chaillots 6x75cl
A mix of fruit from Nuits-Saint-Georges and Chambolle-Musigny, now with Hautes-Côtes fruit to impart freshness, the 2020 Bourgogne Grand Chaillots has a slightly earthy, ash-tinged bouquet that... takes time to unfold. The palate is medium-bodied with tart red fruit, touch of marmalade and quince with a fresh but not long finish. Fine. Neal Martin, Vinous

2019 Chateau Suduiraut Premier Cru Classe, Sauternes 6x75cl
"The 2019 Suduiraut is absolutely stunning. Rich, heady and explosive, but in the vibrant style that marks the wines of today, Suduiraut is a real head-turner. An exotic melange of apricot jam,... orange confit, spice, candied ginger and pineapple all soar out of the glass. The 2019 is creamy and intense, but not at all heavy. The 130 grams of residual sugar are perfectly integrated. Magnificent."

2019 Chateau Berliquet Grand Cru Classe, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 6x75cl
"The 2019 Berliquet has a refined bouquet of lifted dried iris petal scents mingling with blackberry and wild strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins and fleshy red berry... fruit laced with tobacco and Chinese five-spice, and very well proportioned and detailed on the finish. Sophisticated. Tasted twice." 91 pts., Neal Martin, www.vinous.com

2015 La Rioja Alta, Vina Ardanza Reserva, Rioja 12x75cl
Viña Ardanza 2015 is a blend of 78% Tempranillo from the La Cuesta and Montecillo vineyards in the Rioja Alta region, and 22% Garnacha from La Perdriza in Rioja Oriental. Here, Garnacha is crucial... for Ardanza’s structure, aromatics and concentration as it comes from vines perfectly set on barren, puddingstone, free-draining soils situated at higher altitudes. Both varietals are harvested and vinified separately, ageing around three years in American oak barrels from La Rioja Alta S.A.’s own cooperage.
As for the vintage, the weather in 2015 has been described as ‘almost perfect’ with it being one of the highest-scoring vintages of the last 10 years amongst critics. It has been compared most closely with the perfect 2010. Canopy development and vine health were in excellent condition throughout the growing season, giving optimal ripening balance that resulted in silky wines with an intensity of fruit, finely tuned tannins; ones superbly poised for extensive aging.
