From the very good 2012 vintage and scoring 91/100 Parker points, "The 2012 Chablis Grand Cru les Clos is showing some oak on the nose, with touches of white flower and mint infusing the citrus fruit that needs to develop a touch more harmony.

From the outstanding 2015 vintage and scoring 93/100 Parker points, "Tasted blind, the 2015 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières was showing well, offering up a nutty bouquet of green orchard fruit and honeysuckle that's framed by a touch of reduction that dissipates with air. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with bright acids, serious concentration and a long, saline finish. It's quite closed today, but it's an excellent example of Genevrières in Jobard's reductive style." Drink now - 2030.

From the very good 2008 vintage and scoring 93/100 by Robert Parker, "Ripe pear and white peach along with sage, and fusil, chalky notes of crushed stone rise from the glass of Dagueneau 2008 Blanc Fume de Pouilly Silex. On paper, this reminds one of 1996 (as Benjamin Dagueneau mentions immediately after I make a note of the fact), boasting assuming you consider that word appropriate to the circumstances 14.2% alcohol and well over 6 grams acidity. Lime zest and huckleberry notes serve for the sort of bitter concentration one noted in the corresponding Buisson Renard, but here that is imbedded in a far lusher, riper context; accompanied by a more refined texture; and without betraying its alcohol in any heat or roughness. This will be a great keeper, predicts Benjamin Dagueneau, and I would certainly not be surprised if it were worth re-visiting for more than a dozen years. Tasting the 1996 along side (a wine whose analysis reveals negligibly less alcohol and acid than the 2008) one is struck by the malt and caramel notes it has developed, but I really ascribe that to the more obvious application of oak in those days (which I noted when, as it happens, I was able to taste this 1996 in barrel) rather than simply to bottle age."

From the outstanding 2015 vintage and scoring 99/100 Parker points, "Easily one of the greatest Condrieu I’ve ever tasted is the 2015 Condrieu La Doriane. A wine that needs to be tasted to be believed, it possesses a huge nose of toasted brioche, liquid rocks, apricot, flower oil and salty minerality. Unctuous, full-bodied, massively rich, yet also elegant and graceful, with beautiful freshness, enjoy this tour de force over the coming 5-6 years." Drink now - 2028.

From the outstanding 1967 vintage and scoring 85/100 Parker points, "this has always been one of my favorite vintages of Sigalas Rabaud.
