La Carrière 2017 Chardonnay is sourced from the steepest parcel on the Peter Michael estate, precariously positioned on a rocky mountainside 1200-1700 feet above sea level. The mountain slopes exceed 40% grade in some spots. The vines work hard here and yield very little wine but what is coaxed from these tiny grapes is some of most compelling Chardonnays in the world.
96 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2017 is a tightly wound, charged up wine that takes time to unravel in the glass. It is loaded with aromas and flavors of citrus rind, white flowers, green apple and pear with a distinctive sense of minerality that flows throughout the wine. Chardonnay La Carrière 2017 will be delicious this Saturday night and every other for the next 10-15 years.

This is a monumental wine with an enormous score to match.
Raw oysters, creamy soups, sushi and pasta or risotto.
The sandy soil of north Piemonte is home to the appellation Roero and the indigenous variety, Arneis. Stefano Almondo is a master of the rare variety, crafting aromatic and mineral wines that rival any of the best white wines in Italy. The newly released 2021 Vigne Sparse dazzles right out of the bottle; floral and fruity with juicy peaches and apricots yet with a chalky mineral streak as well. As always, it’s such a complex white and the kicker is its finish which goes on for a minute of pure joy.
92 Points, James Suckling
The fruit here is so pure and expressive – a 100% Garganega made from all organically grown estate grapes. I don’t think I’ve ever had a Soave quite like it. That’s probably why Vinibuoni d’Italia (Italy’s top wine magazine) gave it a Crown, the highest distinction given, that less than 500 out of the 27,000+ wines tasted received. It also caught the eye of James Suckling who gave it a 92-points and labeled it “Textbook Soave.”
Jean-Claude Janin’s Domaine des Terres de Chatenay estate has 7 hectares of naturally farmed, old-vine Chardonnay with his vines rooted in some of the most mineral soil in all of Burgundy. The resulting wines are electric renditions of white Burgundy, with high-toned, floral aromatics, a deep concentration of green apple and pear fruit and a laser-like finish that is stony, a touch saline and a mile long. The 2021 is an extra notable year – despite a lower than normal yield, the quality across the board in Burgundy is exceptional.
A textbook Sancerre Blanc from the village of Bué year in year out, this has become a little bit harder to get ever since it got a huge score in its first year of being reviewed. Now, our little secret isn’t such a little secret anymore. Drawn off the highest in elevation in Sancerre with the most calcareous soil, it is a chiseled, tightly wound and incredibly complex Sauvignon Blanc, which I’d argue is one of the best in the world and certainly from one of the best and most consistent winemakers in the Loire Valley.
