Gustave Lorentz Altenberg Riesling 2019, Alsace Grand Cru
"BEST IN SHOW" - DECANTER WORLD WINE AWARDS
97 POINTS! - DECANTER
"On the palate, it’s deep, intense, splendidly fruited and with a ‘mineral’ spangle to the flavours, too; just a little sweetness brocades those fruits. It’s long in the mouth and almost statuesque: a striking contrast to the more slender and piercing Rieslings produced a little further north up the Rhine." - Decanter
Girard Bonnet Chemin Grand Cru NV, Champagne Grand Cru
GROWER CHAMPAGNE FROM HOLY GRAIL SITES FOR GREAT BLANC DE BLANCS
"A serene nose references both dried corn husk and fresh lemon peel. A linear straightness and tautness are immediately evident on the slender but full-flavoured body. Chalk casts an utterly mouth-watering saline spell, yet there is ripeness, juiciness and a certain exuberance, a lovely combo of sunshine and soil with a salty echo and nice tension." - Vinous
