Sur La Velle Monthelie 1er Cru Chardonnay 2019

9.4

Complex nose, spicey oak, green apple, gorgeous minerality, terrific spice, amazing deep minerality and a stunning expansiveness. Really wonderful white burgundy symphony on the nose. Just unreal. What a nose. Tree bark, dry soil. Just stunning. Wow. Juicy, energetic, luscious, fresh, vital, elegant, complex. Wow. What a wine. Just gorgeous. Maybe best Monthelie Blanc I’ve ever had from Boussey. Explosive and wonderful. Spicey as well. A brilliant bottle. Finish is epic. — 3 years ago

Silice Pinot Noir 2016

Family-owned and operated started in 1999 by Dr John and Karen Bergstrom. Dark Ruby with fresh ripe berry fruit flavors with floral spice notes. On the palate, cherry and raspberry flavors with complex herb and citrus notes. Fine tannins on long finish ending with slight earthy character. Drink now while it’s fresh, will benefit from short-term aging. — 5 years ago

Mahi

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2018

"Mahi is long enough for real substance without that awful syrupy quality so common in other whites. There's a note in there that some describe is funk, but we'd call grassy." According to Karen MacNeil "New Zealand Sauvignon blancs have no parallel in the world." — 5 years ago

Domaine Laurent & Karen Boussey

Monthelie Chardonnay 2014

One of the best village white Burgs I’ve had. Beautiful fragrance of stony wet Burgundian earth, sweet marzipan, caramel, and pear. Gorgeous balance in the mouth. Fruit, acid, minerality, length. What a value! — 6 years ago

Clarksburg Pinot Grigio 2016

The epitome of PG IMHO, this is my ideal afternoon cocktail wine. It is medium bodied yet crisp, with just enough honey and apple flavors to make it feel refreshing and invigorating, yet restrained enough not to taste like a dessert wine or dry the palate.
