2020	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint-Peray Fleur de Crussol	The 2020 Saint Peray Fleur de Crussol—from 80-year-old Marsanne vines—is more typical Saint-Péray than the Ongrie bottling, offering up more subdued pear and melon aromas. Vinified and matured in a similar mix of 228-liter and 400-liter barrels (30% new), it's medium to full-bodied, ripe and round, charming and easy to drink, with a splash of lime on the long finish.

2020	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes	The sample presented of Voge's 2020 Cornas Vieilles Vignes was reassuringly excellent, with gently lifted, floral scents of violets, cassis and crushed stone. Full-bodied, deep and powerful, concentrated and rich but still almost painfully unformed, this needs time in the cellar. It's a blend of several parcels, aged in barrel but with just 15% or so new oak.	Wine Advocate	93-95		2022-01-25
2019	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Fontaines	Salted licorice and crème de cassis mark the nose of the 2019 Cornas Vieilles Fontaines, another clear step up in the hierarchy of bottlings at Alain Voge. Produced from 80-year-old vines situated near a spring, which virtually prevents the vines from shutting down even during hot, dry years, the wine ages two years in 15% to 20% new French oak. Full-bodied, concentrated and rich, tannic but supple and loaded with aging potential, this is an extraordinary Cornas.	Wine Advocate	95-98		2022-01-25

2017	Alain Brumont - Montus	Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh Blanc Sec	Made from 100% Petit Courbu, one of the rarest grapes in the region, this wood-aged wine is pierced with perfumed acidity and rounded green fruits. At four years old, the wine’s fruitiness has softened into nutty flavors, hinting at toast and mature acidity. Drink the wine now. Editors’ Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2022-01-24
2016	Alain Brumont - Montus	Madiran 'Prestige'	The showpiece grand estate of Madiran has produced a rich wine. Tannins are a powerful presence in the wine’s concentration, providing a backdrop to the mature fruits and succulent acidity. The wine is ready to drink.	Wine Enthusiast	95		2022-01-24
2015	Alain Brumont - Bouscasse	Madiran 'Vieilles Vignes'	Now mature, this wine revels in its mature tannins. It has power, density, succulent black fruits and structure that has smoothed and softened with age. Drink the wine now. Editors’ Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	95		2022-01-24
2017	Alain Brumont - Bouscasse	Madiran 'Vieilles Vignes'	Old vines from Alain Brumont’s home estate give massive concentration and structure to the already rich Tannat.

NV	Ayinger	Brauweisse	Creamy and flavorful with clove and light banana on the nose and palate. A bit of vanilla sweetness appears on the midpalate before finishing dry. This is sunshine in a glass, hitting all of the traditional hallmarks of the style, no lemon wedge garnish needed.	Wine Enthusiast	95		2022-01-24
