2023	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Morgon Corcelette	Please let me lie in this bed of violets and velvet and forget the world. In spite of the great concentration on the suave, medium-bodied palate, this is so fresh, delicate and precise. Then comes the sensuous and energetic crescendo of a finish that sweeps you away. From 0.8 hectares of 95-year-old vines. Fermented and matured in concrete tanks. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	98		2025-04-10
2023	Isabel Estate	Pinot Noir	The 2023 Pinot Noir is succulent and spicy, with light, red-berry fruit and a framework of spicy tannins in the mouth. The finish feels delicately balanced, fresh and persistent. It's a lovely wine. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.	Wine Advocate	90		2025-04-10
2023	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Morgon Cote du Py	The haunting bouquet of violets, forest floor, red beets and berries holds you in its gentle grip so that you have to force yourself to take a sip. But when you do, the combination of great concentration and finesse is truly breathtaking. Dazzling mineral freshness in the almost endless finish. Fermented and matured in concrete tanks. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	99		2025-04-10
2023	Nekeas	Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 'Vega Sindoa'	A creamy chardonnay showing aromas of hazelnuts, white flowers, apricots and a hint of vanilla. It’s full-bodied, round and lightly nutty, balanced by fresh acidity. Drink now.	James Suckling	90		2025-04-10
2023	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Beaujolais 'Lantignie'	I love the violet aroma of this elegant and juicy, medium-bodied Beaujolais. A delicious wine with a good structure and healthy tannins, without that making it bold or heavy. Long, moderately dry finish. From four hectares of vineyards with 45 to 70-year-old vines. Fermented and matured only in concrete tanks. Bottled late April 2024.	James Suckling	92		2025-04-10
2023	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Morgon Cote du Py 'Javernieres'	This Morgon is compact and concentrated with quite a bit of smoky oak, but somehow it manages to be elegant and animating. I love the way the fruit and smoky-oak tannins interlock, driving the medium-bodied palate forward. The imposing finish is earthy, savory and moderately dry. From the foot of the Cote du Py site. Matured in 10-year-old, 350-liter barrels. Drinkable now but best from 2026.	James Suckling	94		2025-04-10
2022	Isabel Estate	Chardonnay	The 2022 Chardonnay is rich and robust on the nose, with pulpy stone fruit and ripe mango. In the mouth, the wine is salty, fleshy and round, almost oily in texture, with white pepper and flowers. Through the finish, the phenolics and acid eddy in and around the fruit, making for a satisfying close to the wine. Not hugely complex, but it is satisfying. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

NV	Barón	Fino 'Micaela'	This attractive, assertive fino Sherry is one to be taken seriously. Toasted almond, biscuit, dried lemon peel and walnut open on the palate followed by dried white blossom. A streak of salinity is bolstered by toasted pear tart and tangy acidity on the finish. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2025-04-07
2022	Pacific Redwood	Syrah	This producer makes their wines with only naturally occurring sulfites, with no additives or preservatives. The nose has fresh dark-berry confiture, cedar and earth aromas. Flavors on the palate are racy red berry, cranberry, dried mushroom and dusty tannins on the finish. Pair with mushroom and winter vegetable pot pie. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2025-04-07
2024	Domaine de la Fouquette	Cotes de Provence 'Rose d'Aurore'	The nose of this wine is like a tropical-fruit smoothie. The palate is just fun: fruit forward with flavors such as pear and passion fruit followed by zippy acidity and salinity to balance it all out. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2025-04-07
