| VM 96 (10/2021): The ripeness of the 2018 vintage gives an almost Syrah/Viognier character to the Chinon La Croix Boissee, which offers sweet black fruit and a creamy apricot note. Sumptuous yet never ever opulent, it's almost as if the wine's just done a yoga class. Plentiful tannins give the inside of your cheeks a chalky rub, while there's surprising freshness considering the ripeness, leading to a lengthy finish. This is a baby that will turn out to be a great adult. Rebecca Gibb. |

Chinon Le Clos Guillot |

| |
| VM 91-93 (8/2022): Hailing from the limestone-clay slopes on the outskirts of Chinon town, home to other famous vineyards like Clos de l'Olive and Chêne Vert, Le Clos Guillot 2020 offers a cloud of Cabernet Franc fruit with fine refreshing acidity. Savory, silken and seductive, the wine is flooded with a stream of acidity. It is a calm wine with a mass of chalky tannins that coat the palate reassuringly. The finish is long, quiet and scented with dark raspberries and spice. There is a minor complaint of a touch of dryness at the very end of this wine. Rebecca Gibb. |

Chinon Les Grezeaux |

|
| |
| VM 93 (10/2021): Sourced from a single vineyard located at the bottom of Chinon's slope on alluvial/clay soils, the 2019 Chinon Les Grézeaux is currently a bit shy in terms of revealing its fruit flavors. It’s also a hint reductive with its smoky bacon characters, but that's unimportant. What matters is the core of fruit and excellent focus. It's very relaxed and fluid with mouthwatering acidity. The tannins are more serious than the front and midpalate would have suggested and betray a little grittiness. Aged 15 months in cement, this could be opened in one to two years, but the concentration and structure offer drinking over a decade. (Drink between 2022-2030). Rebecca Gibb. |

| VM 91 (8/2022): Off gravel soils at the bottom of the coteaux, the 2020 Les Grézeaux is a fine, fruity wine but it's much more than that. It's a delicate style that packs concentration within its light, silky bodied core. The tannins are fine and like licking a stone. It's good enough to eat. Blackcurrants and black raspberries linger on the medium length finish. (Drink between 2022-2033). Rebecca Gibb. |

| |
| VM 92 (5/2010): Light gold. High-pitched aromas of lemon, green apple and nectarine, with a floral honey quality that gains strength in the glass. Plump orchard and pit fruit nectar flavors are underscored by tangy citrus and mineral notes that buffer the sweetness and add verve. Plenty sweet but the underlying minerality contributes refreshing cut and extends the floral-dominated finish. I really like this wine's blend of sweetness and vivacity. Josh Raynolds. |

Anjou Blanc Clos des Bonnes Blanches |
$105 |

|
| |
| VM 91 (7/2024): The 2019 Anjou Blanc Bonnes Blanches is a dry, perfumed Chenin Blanc with firm line and length. Its perfumed bouquet offers florals, nectarine and exotic pineapple scents, with notes of pastry evident from long élevage in large barrels. While round and tender, there's a tension that runs through this wine like a sharp knife, which is likely a result of its north-facing position on schist. Long and scented. (Drink between 2024-2030). Rebecca Gibb. |

|
| |
| VM 92 (10/2023): The 2020 Bonnes Blanches is a dry and vibrant Chenin Blanc. It's the latest parcel to be harvested as it is north-facing and on schist, which degrades to clay so the soils are cooler, creating a long ripening process. Offering up masses of concentration, perhaps a result of the nearly 40-year-old vines and the low yields, as well as a powerful schist-derived finish. Structure and firmness are the keys to this wine in youth. There are delicate, tangy apple flavors, Sicilian lemons and white flowers marrying with subtle almond pastry-like characters following 13 months on lees in demi-muids. Balanced and settled wine, ready for its life ahead. (Drink between 2024-2034). Rebecca Gibb. |

Anjou Roueres |
$125 |

|
| |
| VM 92 (10/2023): The 2020 Rouères is a sweet wine but not unctuous; it has a sense of freshness and a bitter twist, providing a clean, long finish despite its 150-odd g/L of residual sugar. It is almost tart and offers an herbal, aperitif-like character, combining celery, marmalade, toffee and smoke notes. It's already approachable, but its structural tension and sweetness point to longevity if you wait. (10% alcohol). Quite frankly, it's a triumph this was even made after rains wiped Les Quarts parcel out. It might not be typical Quarts de Chaume - neither as rich nor luscious - hence why they've decided to label it as a Coteaux du Layon even though they could legally have still called it Quarts de Chaume, displaying the integrity of this producer. (Drink between 2023-2043). Rebecca Gibb. |

Anjou Veau |
$100 |

|
| |
| VM 94 (10/2023): The 2019 Veau contrasts the 2019 Quarts despite both hailing from a nearby parcel. It seems, briefly, round and welcoming before quickly becoming salty and spicy. It's almost a bit scary. Yes, it's fierce - that's because it sits on the western side of the Quarts de Chaume hill, whose pure schist gives tension and ferocity. The 15% alcohol somewhat detracts from the overall balance, but there's no doubting the intensity. The opposite of a quaffing wine that would demand meat and tagine rather than delicate dishes. (Drink between 2025-2040). Rebbecca Gibb. |

| VM 90 (7/2024): The 2021 Savennières Gaudrets is floral and herbal, reminiscent of dill with a sweet oak influence. It's a suave, curvy style that is given shape by its acidity and fine texture, coating the palate and leaving you licking the inside of your mouth. Balanced and well-proportioned, it boasts modest complexity and length. (Drink between 2024-2029). Rebecca Gibb. |

Lick-your-lips salinity and a line of acidity run through like a tight thread, keeping the wine persistent and long. A hint of warmth on the finish just knocks its balance. (Drink between 2025-2031).

JD 93 (10/2024): Displaying a bright straw hue, the 2023 Vouvray Sec Le Haut-Lieu is expressive on opening, with aromas of crushed apples, river rock, chamomile, and Meyer lemon. The palate offers wonderful balance, with a supple texture, even acidity, and stony underpinnings, as well as a delicate touch of bitter almond on the finish. It offers a great deal of enjoyment at this early stage, and while it’s ready to enjoy now, it should also provide longevity over the coming 6-8 years. Audrey Frick.
VM 93 (7/2024): The 2023 Vouvray Sec Le Haut-Lieu is a pure, refined, seamless style with pear, pineapple and nectarine flavors. It boasts excellent clarity and refinement, with lovely freshness hailing from calibrated acidity that bursts through this blossoming wine. Considering this was only bottled three weeks before tasting, I’m very encouraged by the results. (Drink between 2024-2033). Rebecca Gibbs. |

JD 96 (3/2019): The 2017 Le Mont Moelleux shows the classic progression from the vibrancy of the Sec to the more layered, slightly honeyed Demi-Sec to this richer, sweeter, yet no less impressive Moelleux release. Brilliant notes of quince, honeyed tangerines, apple peel, and orange liqueur all emerge from this full-bodied, layered Vouvray that has a stacked, dense, concentrated mid-palate, high yet integrated acidity, impeccable balance, and a great finish. I couldn’t pick a favorite between this and the Demi-Sec, and both are brilliant wines. Smart readers will buy a handful of bottles of each (a six pack of each is what I intend to do) for drinking over the coming 2-3 decades.
WA 94 (5/2019): The golden-apricot colored 2017 Vouvray Le Mont Moelleux is perfectly ripe and elegant on the intense but refined nose, with stone fruit and very fine raisin aromas intertwined with yeasty notes. On the palate, this is a generous, highly elegant, finessed and juicy Vouvray with fine tannin grip, salty-piquant acidity and good concentration of dried and stewed stone fruits. The wine is compact and tight but vital and full of energy and aging potential. Very tight, firm and salty, with good tension and expression but far too young to be enjoyed within the next five years. Tasted in March 2019. |

| VM 94 (10/2023): The 2022 Le Mont Moelleux is a medium-sweet, tender style that is just so welcoming and appealing. It is the quiet type that doesn't show off. It offers breadth without weight, which I always like about the Huet wines - they're like clouds of Chenin floating over your palate. A fine floral and fruity fragrance reminiscent of lilac, pear and pineapple lingers off the tranquil finish. While the acidity in 2022 is a little gentle, it still has enough tension to sweep up the wine and hold it all together. A little more length and line would elevate it further. (51g/L RS, in case you're interested). Rebecca Gibb. |

| WA 90 (1/2024): Unfortunately, Tessa Laroche lost 50% of the crop due to early frost. The 2021 Savennières-Roche aux Moines possesses a deep, wild bouquet with aromas of fennel, spices, pear and caramel intertwined with lactic notes with aeration. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and balanced, it’s satiny with a phenolic, long finish. Although it lacks depth and precision, it remains a good effort, given the vintage. |

| VM 95 (8/2021): The 2019 Sancerre Le Grand Chemarin is a tender and wonderfully elegant style that shows excellent concentration. It remains understated, with fine grip on the finish. The wine has a mouth-coating texture, no doubt due to the limestone soils but also the Pinards’ careful handling. This caresses the mouth with its restrained pear and ripe, apple fruit. It's wonderfully welcoming at the beginning, but the finish is structured. Wherever the wine is in your mouth, it always exudes a sense of balance. (Drink between 2023-2035). Rebecca Gibb. |

| VM 93 (8/2021): Sourced from a west-facing vineyard that was planted in 1968 on limestone and clay, the 2019 Sancerre Le Petit Chemarin has the most salinity in the Pinard range. It presents a welcoming aromatic profile of preserved lemons, ripe apples and a sprinkling of salt and cinnamon spice. There is a vibrant rush of acidity and a salty note on the finish. A powerful line of tension drives this home. Excellent balance and length. (Drink between 2022-2033). Rebecca Gibb. |

| VM 94 (7/2020): Serious complexity in this Chenin Blanc. Fresh golden apple at first, then pear, apricot jam and white pepper that carries throughout nicely. Gorgeous herbal notes on the midpalate, gliding to a long, salty, crushed stone finish. Jason Wilson. |

WA 94 (10/2021): The 2015 Saumur Champigny is deep, refined and elegant on the clear and fresh nose that displays very fine dark berry and iodine as well as chalky and herbal aromas. Round, intense and juicy on the palate, with fine tannins and acidity, this is a silky, deep and fleshy, very fine and elegant yet also lush and balanced Cabernet with fine tannins and a long and intense, aromatic finish. 12.5% alcohol. Natural cork.
VM 93 (7/2020): This was Charly Foucault’s last vintage. Fruity and floral on the nose with an edge of smoke. Big boned and intense, but with a smoothness to this wine, with lots of raspberry, cranberry, and cherry, silky tannins and a long cool finish. Jason Wilson. |

| VM 94 (8/2022): Released in November 2021, after its customary five year stay in the cellar, the 2016 Le Clos is a wine that makes you say 'God this is good' as soon as you put a drop in your mouth before you sink into it. While it is already starting to open up and could be approached by the impatient wine lover, this has the tannins that will leave you licking your lips and abundant acidity making your mouth water. In combination with the fine concentration of fruit and long length, there's no hurry to open. On the drawn out finish, cherry, tea leaf and mushroom flavors linger on and on. Rebecca Gibb. |

| VM 91 (4/2007): Bright straw. Assertive lime and lemon zest aromas, with complicating tarragon, mint and grass nuances. Zesty, light and focused, with pure, vibrant citrus and green apple flavors given depth by suggestions of licorice and blond tobacco. Lovely stuff, with a decidedly elegant character and a long, concentrated finish. I wouldn't be surprised to see this improve over the coming decade. Josh Raynolds. |

| WA 92-93 (6/2012): Bittersweet and musky floral perfume, mint, and eucalyptus surge from the glass of 2011 Sancerre Clos la Neore – as tasted from tank – and combine with gooseberry preserves, fresh apple, and honeydew melon on a lush, faintly oily, subtly sultry, yet persistently luscious palate. A hint of salted chicken and mushroom stock add a mysterious sense of (Kimmeridgian) place, while the hint of gooseberry and apple skin lends welcome invigoration to a long, saliva-liberating, and hauntingly musky, floral finish. This ought to be one of those rare 2011 Sancerres that will reward attention for more than a decade. (It’s intriguing, incidentally, how distinctive from one another are the two lots whose impromptu blend in my glass is the subject of the above tasting note, even though they began as the same juice.) |

| VM 94 (6/2025): The 2012 Sancerre Clos La Néore was poured from magnum. It has an intriguing nose that I really love, scents of dried honey and beeswax, a touch of fish scales, a slight oatmeal tincture signalling its maturity. The palate seems mature but certainly not over the hill: bitter orange and mandarin, Vervain tea and sour lemon, cohering beautifully with every passing minute. This has so much personality—it will be fascinating to see how it matures in bottle, though I would not class it as a “crowd-pleaser.” This is a Sancerre that refuses to kowtow to tastes, and for that, I admire it rather than relish it. (Drink between 2025-2042). Neal Martin. |

| VM 93 (8/2022): A cooler vintage, the 2014 Clos La Néore provides a greener edge aromatic expression with its green gooseberry, herbal notes and citrus. Firm, no messing stuff; don't expect a tender, soft Sancerre, this is steely. There is a mass of concentration packed in here. The fruit purity is outstanding and flavors of chamomile and almond meal linger on the long finish. Excellent. (Drink between 2022-2034). Rebecca Gibb. |
