Expert Reviews - Vintage 2020

Jasper Morris 92-94 Points | Mid lemon. A little more stuffing than the very agreeable Chenevottes, digging deep into fresh yellow fruit, some citrus rind, good acidity, and a particularly appealing intense crisp white fruit finish. Old vines count! 

Neal Martin writes:  The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Champs Gain 1er Cru has a touch more mineralité on the nose compared to the Les Chenevottes, touches of gypsum and oyster shell intermingling with light white linen scents. The palate is very well balanced and beautifully poised, with entrancing white peach and nectarine notes toward the irresistible finish. Yes, yes, yes!  Drinking 2025 to 2048.  - Vinous 93-95

William Kelley writes: Aromas of citrus zest, peach and pear, mingled with hints of white flowers, hazelnuts and fresh bread, preface the 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs Gain, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and nicely concentrated wine with a bright spine of acidity and a mouthwateringly chalky finish. This looks to be Colin's best Champs Gain since 2017.  - Robert Parker Wine Advocate 91-93

Winemaker Description 

Founded in 1970 by Marc Colin and his wife Michele, Domaine Marc Colin now spans 15 hectares encompassing 26 appellations in St. Aubin, Chassagne, Puligny, and Santenay. Most of the land was inherited from past generations of Colin and Ponavoy; certain parcels have been in the family for more than 100 years. While the family does own prime territory in Chassagne, home base in St. Aubin features parcels of the very best vineyards, En Remilly and Chatenière, to name a few. These vineyards accrue prestige due to their sloped location; while much of St. Aubin resides on flat ground (rendering less interesting wines) the Colin properties are all situated on finely pitched hillsides. The resulting wines shimmer with savory minerality and luster.

Today Joseph, Caroline, and Damien, the children of Marc and Michele, own and run the domaine. The fourth sibling Pierre-Yves (who made the wine at Marc Colin for 10 years) established his own project in 2005. Sustainable and organic agriculture, older vines, and clay-limestone soils are just some of the components contributing to the quality of the final product. Winemaking style would best be called traditional, though Joseph (who makes the whites) and Damien (who makes the reds) are certainly not shy of innovation. Whites strive for optimum freshness; there is no heavy, ungainly wood here. The red wines are characterized by silky texture, ever-present fruit and a certain roundness with just a kiss of oak. Production consists of 70% white and 30% red with total production maxing out at 120,000 bottles.

Our Professional Reviews

Rand Sieger, 67 Wine Buyer: This 100% Chardonnay comes from vineyards in the village of Mâcon-Chardonnay, one of the villages allowed to append its name to the Mâcon appellation. An outstanding fresh white with aromas of quince and white stone fruits and a delicate touch of oak. Great pairing with soft-ripened cheeses or white fish.

Bart Hopkins, 67 Wine Buyer: The 2023 Mâcon-Chardonnay is the inaugural vintage of this wine from renowned Puligny-Montrachet winemaker Alain Chavy and his son Corentin. The grapes are sourced from various growers and vinified at the family cellar in Puligny under their care and guidance.

Douloufakis Winery Vidiano — Crete, Greece 2024

Douloufakis Winery is one of Crete's most celebrated family estates, based in the Dafnes appellation in the heart of the island and dedicated to championing Crete's extraordinary indigenous grape varieties. Vidiano is their signature white — a rare, ancient Cretan variety that nearly disappeared in the 20th century and has been lovingly revived by passionate producers like Douloufakis. Aromatic, full-bodied, and distinctly Mediterranean in character, it is one of Greece's most exciting white grapes and a wine that consistently surprises those who discover it for the first time.

On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied with the same generous fruit character, well-balanced acidity, and a fine, lingering finish. Elegant, aromatic, and built for the table.

Memo Summary Notes

The 2022 Nastl Grüner Veltliner Klassik is a quintessential expression of Austria's most famous white grape. Produced by the Nastl family in the Kamptal region—one of the world’s premier spots for Grüner—this "Klassik" bottling is designed to be fresh, vibrant, and approachable.

While many Austrian wines can be complex and austere, the Klassik style focuses on pure fruit and the grape's natural "peppery" charm.

Winemaker Description 

In an effort to produce a wine that pays honorable tribute to the esteemed AVA, we source our grapes from premium sites throughout the region. This blend includes several of the vineyards that have shown as standouts within the vast and rugged Sonoma Coast.

Bright and layered, the 2024 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay opens with aromas of citrus blossom, green apple, and Asian pear. On the palate, a lively core of lemon curd, crisp pineapple, and citrus zest is framed by subtle oak tones of vanilla and baking spice. The texture is both fresh and rounded, with vibrant acidity and a mineral lift that carries through to a long, clean finish.

Hahn Estate S.L.H. Chardonnay — Santa Lucia Highlands 2021

Hahn Estate’s S.L.H. Chardonnay is one of California’s most compelling cool-climate expressions of the variety — and the 2021 vintage delivers with exceptional clarity and energy. Sourced from the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA, one of Monterey County’s most celebrated appellations, the vineyards sit at elevations between 1,200 and 2,200 feet, where cool Pacific winds and dramatic diurnal temperature swings preserve natural acidity and build genuine complexity. The result is a Chardonnay of viscous texture, welcoming acidity, and layered fruit — earning 90 points from Wine Enthusiast and representing outstanding value at this price.

The nose is inviting and aromatic: lemon peel, lychee, wet rock, citrus, stone fruit, and hints of banana and vanilla. On the palate, it lands with clean, brisk energy — lime peel, rounded ripe melon, stone fruits, apple, and a touch of spice — with a viscous mouthfeel and a finish that is fresh, focused, and satisfying.

Wine Enthusiast 90 — “Lemon peel, lychee and wet-rock aromas converge on the nose. The palate lands with clean, brisk energy, offering flavors of lime peel with rounded, ripe melon.”

Ken Forrester Reserve Sauvignon Blanc — Stellenbosch, South Africa 2022

Ken Forrester is one of South Africa's most celebrated winemakers — a passionate advocate for Chenin Blanc and the broader potential of Stellenbosch as a world-class wine region. His Stellenbosch farm, situated on the cool slopes of the Helderberg, benefits from the maritime influence of False Bay and long, slow ripening conditions that produce wines of genuine complexity and freshness. The Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is crafted from grapes grown in this cool-climate environment, where extended hang time allows the fruit to develop layered aromatic character while retaining the brisk, mineral-driven acidity that defines the style.

The nose shows lovely complexity: a mix of tangy grassy notes and fig leaf intertwined with peach and nectarine nuances — aromatic, fresh, and inviting. On the palate, brisk acidity and minerality take center stage, a direct reflection of the long hang time in this cool coastal region. Clean, focused, and refreshing — a Sauvignon Blanc that is equally at home at the aperitivo hour or at the table.

"Lovely complexity with a mix of tangy grassy notes, fig leaf, peach and nectarine nuances. Brisk acidity with minerality on the palate — typical of the long hang time in our cool region." — Ken Forrester, Winemaker

Jo Landron Amphibolite Muscadet Sèvre et Maine — Loire Valley 2025

Jo Landron has been farming the upper slopes of the Sèvre River near Nantes since 1990, and in that time he has quietly become one of the most important voices in French natural viticulture. His conversion to organic farming began in 1999, biodynamic certification followed in 2011, and the results are impossible to argue with. The Amphibolite — named for the metamorphic rock that defines its terroir — is the entry point to the Landron lineup and one of the most honest expressions of Melon de Bourgogne you will find at any price.

The 2025 is everything Muscadet should be: citrusy, saline, and alive. The nose is clean and precise — lemon zest, green apple, crushed oyster shell, and a faint floral lift. On the palate, the wine is lean and focused, with a bright, almost electric acidity and a long, mineral finish with that signature oceanic salinity Jo calls "free-spirited." Whole-bunch pressed, wild yeast fermented, aged six months on fine lees in glass-tiled concrete vats, bottled unfined and unfiltered. Nothing added, nothing taken away.

"A wine best expressed in its youth — citrusy and sizzling with a lovely salinity on the finish." — Jo Landron

• Producer: Domaine de la Louvetrie, Jo Landron, Nantes, Loire Valley, France
• Vintage: 2025
• Appellation: Muscadet Sèvre et Maine AOC
• Terroir: Metamorphic amphibolite (gabbro-derived rock)
• Varietal: 100% Melon de Bourgogne
• Farming: Certified Organic (EcoCert) & Biodynamic
• Vinification: Whole-bunch direct press, wild yeast fermentation, no chaptalization, no fining or filtration
• Aging: 6 months on fine lees in glass-tiled concrete vats
• Size: 750ml
• Tasting Notes: Lemon zest, green apple, oyster shell, white flower, saline mineral finish
• Best Paired With: Oysters, grilled sole, moules marinières, fresh chèvre, seafood crudo

The gold standard for high-energy oceanic white wine — Jo Landron's Amphibolite is Muscadet at its most alive.

Winemaker Description

The Domaine Uby No. 3 Côtes de Gascogne Colombard Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is the ultimate wine for sharing and everyday pleasure. A blend of Colombard and Sauvignon Blanc from the sun-drenched vineyards of Southwest France, No. 3 has a drier, crisper character than the off-dry No. 4, with an equally intense and aromatic profile. Fresh, lively, and exceptionally food-friendly — the ideal aperitif at an outstanding price.

Pairing Suggestions

• Aperitif: Perfect on its own, well chilled, before any meal.
• Seafood: Oysters, grilled white fish, shrimp, or a light ceviche.
• Light dishes: Goat cheese, summer salads, or charcuterie boards.

Expert Review - Vintage 2023 

Vinous 95 Points | The 2023 Vouvray Sec Le Mont is precise, upright and flinty. It's less immediately charming than the styles we've seen in recent warmer vintages, but it was only tasted three weeks after bottling—this is one to revisit. There's just the right amount of juicy, peachy flesh within this light-bodied yet concentrated wine. It has the potential to charm but does so without showing off. Flinty and tightly sewn together, it has curves in the right places, but you're just going to have to wait for it to take shape.

Winemaker Description 

Le Mont wines are often the estate's most reticent, but develop the strongest perfume with age. Mineral-driven with a crystalline purity, this is the precision we've come to rely on with Le Mont.

Expert Review — Vintage 2024

Wine Advocate — 94 Points | The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc L’Après-Midi contains 6% Sémillon. Matured in around 15% new French oak and bottled the spring after harvest. Continually unfurling scents of flint, white peach, tarragon, lemongrass, graham cracker, chamomile, and honey. The full-bodied palate bursts with layers of flinty stone and citrus fruit, lifted by a silky texture, succulent acidity, and a long, perfumed finish.

Winemaker Description

L’Après-Midi (The Afternoon) was named in honor of the pleasures of a slow and lazy afternoon — which, according to Sir Peter, is a good time to start enjoying this wine. One of two estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc/Sémillon blends, the grapes are grown alongside the red Bordeaux varietals within Les Pavots Vineyard, benefiting from steep slopes, excellent drainage, and cool air at altitude.

Whole-cluster-pressed and naturally fermented in barrel, forgoing malolactic fermentation to preserve the fruity and zesty character of the Sauvignon Blanc. Predominantly Sauvignon Blanc with just a touch of Sémillon.

• Producer: Peter Michael Winery
• Appellation: Knights Valley, Sonoma County, California
• Blend: 94% Sauvignon Blanc, 6% Sémillon
• Vineyard: Les Pavots Estate
• Aging: 15% new French oak, no malolactic fermentation
• Vintage: 2024

Gato Negro | Pinot Grigio | Valle Central, Chile

Gato Negro is one of Chile's most beloved everyday wine brands, produced by Viña San Pedro — a winery with roots dating back to 1865 and one of the most established names in South American wine.

Gato Negro Pinot Grigio is pale yellow in the glass with a fresh, delicate nose of green apple, white pear, and subtle floral hints. On the palate, light-bodied and crisp with perfectly balanced acidity and a clean, fruity finish. Approachable, versatile, and endlessly easy to enjoy.

Pair with light seafood, sushi, grilled fish, fresh salads, soft cheeses, and antipasti. Serve well chilled.

Castel Blanc du Castel — Judean Hills, Israel 2023

Domaine du Castel is the founding estate of modern Israeli fine wine. In 1988, Eli Ben Zaken planted the first contemporary vineyard in the Judean Hills in the backyard of his home in Ramat Raziel — almost by chance, and almost entirely by conviction. Within four years, family and friends gathered to harvest the grapes that would become Castel Grand Vin 1992, and a benchmark was set. Today, Eli’s children carry the tradition forward: Ariel (CEO, trained in Beaune), Eytan (winemaker alongside Eli), and Ilana (Director of Export & Procurement). The grandchildren have vineyards bearing their names. This is a family winery in the truest sense — and Blanc du Castel is its most celebrated white wine.

Made from 100% Chardonnay, fermented and matured in French oak barrels for approximately one year in the Burgundian style, with residual sugars preserved to add richness and texture. The result is a wine of genuine complexity: rich and buttery on the nose, with refreshing acidity, citrus, tropical fruit, and roasted almonds. Full, round, and well-balanced, with a fine, long finish. Reaches its peak approximately four years after harvest — the 2023 is drinking beautifully now and will continue to develop through 2027 and beyond.

• Producer: Domaine du Castel, Ramat Raziel, Judean Hills, Israel
• Vintage: 2023
• Appellation: Judean Hills
• Varietal: 100% Chardonnay
• Winemaking: Fermented and aged in French oak barrels, Burgundian style

The Wine Advocate 94 Points | The 2022 Chardonnay Estate has open, inviting aromas of candied peaches, manuka honey, white pepper and tropical flowers. The satiny, medium-bodied palate pairs concentrated flavors and textural breadth with tangy acidity, and it has a long, flavorful finish.

Momo · Sauvignon Blanc · Marlborough · New Zealand · 2024 · 750ml

Momo — meaning “offspring” in Māori — was born from Seresin Estate, one of Marlborough’s most respected organic pioneers.

Bart Hopkins — 67Wine Staff Pick
“I always like the thrill of finding a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc that stands out above the crowd. The 2024 Momo organically grown Sauvignon Blanc does so with delicious distinction and casual fanfare.

Rodney Strong California Chardonnay — Sonoma County 2024

Rodney Strong has been one of Sonoma County's most trusted names for over six decades, and their California Chardonnay is the house's benchmark for accessible, well-crafted white wine done right. The 2024 vintage was barrel-fermented at 60% and aged on lees for seven months — a technique that adds creaminess, spice, and vanilla complexity — while the remaining 40% was cold-fermented in tank to preserve the wine's bright tropical and citrus character. The result is a Chardonnay that punches well above its price point, earning 90 points from Wine Enthusiast and 88 points from Wine Spectator.

The nose opens with Gala apple, Meyer lemon peel, citrus blossom, lemon curd, and fresh herb, with hints of toasty oak and baking spice. On the palate, the wine is juicy and medium-bodied with concentrated flavors of nectarine, tangerine, pear, pineapple, and lemon curd, framed by a creamy mouthfeel, fresh sleek acidity, and a long, lingering finish of fresh pear, ginger, and vanilla. It is the kind of Chardonnay that overdelivers at every pour.

Wine Enthusiast 90 — "Lovely aromas of fresh Gala apple, Meyer lemon peel, citrus blossom, and fresh herb. The palate delivers concentrated flavors of fresh nectarine, sage, white flowers, and salty lemon at the finish." — Tom R. Capo. (Vintage 2024).

Wine Spectator 88 — "A juicy style, with notes of tangerine and lemon curd, plus a hint of lime sorbet. Fresh, sleek acidity leaves a lasting impression." — MaryAnn Worobiec. (Vintage 2024). 

• Producer: Rodney Strong Vineyards, Sonoma County, California
• Vintage: 2024

Winemaker Description

Our Sauvignon Blanc has brilliant clarity and offers subtle aromas of lemon, kiwi and herbaceous notes. This medium-bodied wine is filled with grapefruit and citrus flavors and ends with a crisp, refreshing finish.

James Suckling 91 Points: "Aromas of sliced pears, yellow apples, nectarines and white flowers. Bright acidity and a salty, crunchy finish."

Expert Review — Vintage 2021

Vinous 94 Points | Pure Chardonnay from vines around 25 years old. The bright energy hits you with the first sniff — lift, brightness, and something immensely citric and pervasive. Exquisite shape: it glides and moves with agility, like a drop of liquid rolling across plumage — always entire, rounded, shining, smooth and mobile. The finish sinks into soil, draws you in, seasons the tongue with saltiness and floors you with incredible equanimity. Endless, profound, and ineffable. Bone-dry.

About the Wine

Velich Darscho is named after a smaller lake in the village near the estate in Burgenland, Austria. The fruit comes from vineyards that are 35–50 years old — significantly older than the Vinous note suggests (which references 25-year-old vines), reflecting the depth and complexity in the glass. This is Velich’s step up from the Tó cuvée, showing greater concentration, minerality, and aging potential.

Tasting & Pairings

Bright citrus energy, saltiness, soil-driven minerality, and an ineffably long finish. Bone-dry with exquisite shape and agility. Serve lightly chilled — this rewards patience in the glass as it opens.

• Roasted lobster or langoustines with brown butter — the wine’s richness and salinity are a perfect match.
• Roasted chicken with tarragon and crème fraîche — classic Chardonnay territory elevated by the wine’s minerality.
• Aged Comté or Gruyère — nutty, hard cheeses complement the wine’s depth and saline finish.

Vinous 97 Points | Pure Chardonnay from the oldest vines of the estate, planted in 1959. Smoothness dominates the nose — almost salty hints of lanolin, a touch of Mirabelle and a lovely note of straw. The palate is intense, concentrated and pervasive, with uncompromising nakedness, dynamism and drive, dripping with lemon brightness, all bound up in earthiness reminiscent of fresh cep mushroom and profound, cooling limestone. Clarity is everything here. The finish is long, serene, touching and memorable. Bone-dry.

About the Wine

Velich Tiglat is the crown jewel of the Velich lineup — sourced from the estate’s original plantings from 1959 in Burgenland, Austria. The wine is fermented naturally and kept on full lees for at least 24 months, building extraordinary texture and complexity without compromising the bone-dry purity that defines the house style.

This is the pinnacle of the Velich range: Tó (young vines) → Darscho (35–50 year vines) → Tiglat (1959 vines). Each step up brings greater concentration, minerality, and aging potential.

Tasting & Pairings

Lanolin, Mirabelle, straw, lemon brightness, fresh cep mushroom, cooling limestone, and salt. Intense and concentrated yet profoundly clear. The finish is long, serene, and memorable. Serve lightly chilled — this demands time and attention in the glass.

• Lobster or scallops with brown butter — the wine’s concentration and lemon brightness elevate luxurious shellfish.
• Roasted turbot or Dover sole — noble white fish for a noble Chardonnay.
• Aged Comté (24+ months) — the depth and salinity of both are a stunning match.

"The 2023 Domaine De La Solitude (Pessac-Léognan) Blanc will certainly be outstanding. Based on 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Semillon, it has bright, minty herbs, citrus, and honeyed pineapple-like aromas and flavors as well as a medium-bodied, round, plush, beautifully textured style on the palate."

The Wine Independent - 92 Points (90-92)
"The 2023 Domaine de la Solitude Blanc races out of the glass with expressive scents of fresh grapefruit, crunchy peaches, and Bosc pears leading to hints of beeswax and sea spray. The medium-bodied palate is silky, with great intensity of orchard fruit flavors and a racy backbone, finishing with great length."

Decanter - 91 Points
"Earlier harvest to preserve acidity from this estate with gravel soils but thankfully cooler clays as well, resulting in an easy-going wine not without some warmth, but marked by ripe pear, peach, orange zest and lemon, more fruit forward than complex – and a pleasure to drink."

"The 2023 Domaine de la Solitude Blanc has a cohesive and focused bouquet with green apple, kiwi fruit and light, pithy pear aromas that are neatly knitted together by the oak. The palate is a more textural white with a keen line of acidity, vibrant and fresh with a dab of ginger toward the finish."
