Buy now before the tariffs kick in! 2015 Malartic Lagraviere Blanc 95 points James Suckling Very vibrant lemons and limes with tropical fruit. Hints of mangoes and melon. The palate has silky, smooth fruit with seamless build and flow. Impressive. 85% sauvignon and 15% Semillon. Drink or hold. (2/2018)
95 points Wine Enthusiast Smoothly textured, this fruity wine offers acidity and ripe apricot flavors. The zesty, mineral texture will allow it to develop well, promising of great fruit and texture in the future. (RV) (4/2018)
2016 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Saint-Joseph
94 points Vinous
Opaque ruby. Powerful, mineral-tinged aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, candied flowers, olive and licorice, along with a smoky overtone that builds in the glass. Stains the palate with sweet, energetic black/blue fruit, violet pastille and spicecake flavors that show outstanding purity and mineral-drive. The spice and floral notes repeat emphatically on a strikingly long, lively finish that's shaped by velvety, even tannins. (JR) (9/2019)
92-94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
I tasted several parcels that will go into the 2016 Saint Joseph, rating them all in this range. All were distinctive in their own ways, from the perfumed, floral notes and elegance of Les Challeys to the almost jammy cherry flavors of Les Oliviers and the dark-fruited precision of Le Clos.
