There’s a reason that Chateau Climens is 1er Cru and famously dubbed, “Lord of Barsac”. The quality and precision that goes into the entire operation is truly stunning and the reason the legendary estate continues to make phenomenal Sauternes.
The 2015 Climens is killer and I believe it to just now be starting to hit its stride. Absolutely juicy with tropical notes of sweet tangerine and papaya with finishes of honey and lemon pudding. It’s vibrant and tight with a wonderful lingering finish. I’m telling you, this is an absolute knockout.
All four major critics came in above 95 points for this one in what was “an outstanding vintage” according to Decanter and Vinous’ Sauternes specialist, Ian D’Agata. Decanter gave it a 98 with a bold declaration: “This stands out from the rest”. That review speaks volumes. 97 Points from Wine Spectator who called the wine “gorgeous” and for James Suckling who recommended cellaring this one considering he sees a half century of aging potential in this bottle. Sensational stuff.

This stands out from the rest – white flowers, bitter orange, mandarin and smoked caramel are met at every step by lift and tension. A beautiful wine that keeps on delivering. Drinking Window 2020 – 2040
97 Points, Wine Spectator
Gorgeous, offering a range of orange, almond and brioche notes backed by lively citrus oil, green tea and ginger accents. Rich but tightly coiled nonetheless, with lots of energy lying in reserve on the finish. Needs some time. Best from 2022 through 2045.
97 Points, James Suckling
This great Barsac is just beginning to open up and not only has incredibly fine mango, papaya and star-fruit character but also something mineral. Great concentration and textural complexity right from the tip of your tongue to the end of the extremely long, very pure finish. You can enjoy this now, but I recommend cellaring it as long as you can, because this has at least 50 years of ageing potential!

The 2019 Wentworth Anderson Valley Pinot Noir is a beauty. Made with 100% Estate Grown, organically farmed fruit from Wentworth’s noteworthy Anderson Valley vineyard. It’s made from a variety of different clones: Dijon 115, 667 and Pommard 5, that seamlessly blend to make an exciting, full-bodied Pinot. You can taste the extra flair courtesy of the 1/4 wholecluster fermentation. This is fresh and juicy and fantastic to pair with food.
Year in, year out Château Turcaud produces one of the best white wine values in the world. It’s long been found on Michelin-starred wine lists in Paris and we’ve had it at the restaurant since Day 1. If you’ve ever tried this stunning, classic Bordeaux of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadlle, then you know why. The 2020 vintage has just arrived, and it’s a fantastic vintage in Bordeaux for energetic whites. This is world-class, as always.
The newly released Torrontes from Herve Fabre is a fantastic bottle of wine for the price tag. A delicious, crisp white wine treat from our good friend Herve. Crafted in Valle de Uco in the Mendoza region, this delicious white offers delicate aromas of white flowers, orange blossom with a touch of lime that adds a delicious lift to the wine.
95 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
“Once again, Fabio Motta knocks it out of the ballpark. The 2016 Bolgheri Superiore Le Gonnare is another super rich and densely concentrated Tuscan blended wine from this classic vintage. This blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Syrah is soft and velvety. In fact, the wine plays its best cards in terms of the supple and soft nature of the mouthfeel and tannins. The wine is partially aged (only 20%) in new oak. Only 6,600 bottles were made total.”
