94 Points - Wine News (Billecart):

"Light copper-orange hue; active stream of small bubbles. Enticing scents of bread dough, caramel and buttery fragrances. Soft entry with creamy vanilla, a nice balance of grains and light, malty nuances. A cleansing, racy grapefruit-inspired finish with pleasant, sweet overtones."

92 Points - Stephen Tanzer (Billecart):

"Light orange. Tangerine, pear and flowers on the nose, which is complicated by a note of fennel. Broad and sappy but dry, with lively orange and strawberry flavors and a subtle note of spice cake. Weightier on the finish, which features an exotic note of spicy herbs. This Champagne's delicate touch will make it work well with simple seafood dishes or even sashimi."

92 Points - Wine Spectator (Billecart):

"Bright and elegant, this offers appealing flavors of ripe black cherry, raspberry and orange peel that show hints of toasted raisin bread, anise and sweet smoke. Offers a beautiful texture, with a long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2015."

91 Points - Wine Spectator (Veuve):

"The color of ballet shoes, this offers a floral nose partnered with a rich palate of flavor, subtly woven with brioche, toasted nut, black raspberry, apricot and graphite notes. This vibrant wine maintains a sense of elegance throughout. Drink now through 2018. Tasted twice, with consistent notes." -AN

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast (Veuve):

"This seems drier than its stablemate, the famous Yellow Label, and is the better for it. There is an urgent freshness here, driven by red currants and tight plum skin flavors. It is lively but full in the mouth, and shows just the right bottle age." - R.V.

92 Points - James Suckling:
"This is really peppery like a Northern Rhone with tar and mineral character as well as lots of fruit. Full and juicy with a fruity aftertaste and round, slightly chewy tannins. The entry level Syrah from this estate with a new name. Better in 2014." - JS (Nov 26, 2012)

94 Points - James Suckling:
"Complex aromas of dried meat, pancetta and dark fruits follow through to a full body, with fine tannins and lots of subtle fruit. Nutty and minerally at the finish. I like the style and different character in this young wine. Better in 2014." - JS (Aug 29, 2012)

"Wow. This is so deep with subtle fruit as well as walnuts, raw meat and tar. Very Cote Rotie. Full, dense and layered with beautiful fruit and sliced meat undertones. Long and gorgeous. So pretty and intense. Better in 2014, but why wait?" - August 29th, 2012

Rank #95 - Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2009

92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The NV Brut Premier is a gorgeous wine that stands head and shoulders above the vast majority of wines in its price range. Apparently, it is quite possible to make great Champagne that doesn't cost a small fortune. Ripe pears, smoke, spices, dried flowers and herbs are some of the many nuances that emerge from the glass. The Brut Premier shows lovely mid-palate depth and fabulous overall balance. Chef de Caves Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon has done it again. This is a fabulous Brut Premier. The Brut Premier is based on the 2007 vintage, with approximately 20% 2006 wines and 10% older reserves going back to 1996. The blend is approximately 40% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier and 40% Chardonnay. About 50% of the base wines underwent malolactic fermentation. Dosage is 9-10 grams per liter. This is Lot # L034638B102206. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015." -Antonio Galloni, November 2011

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine (2009 vintage):
"A delightful wine, one of Justin’s best in quite some time. The blend is Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, and fruit is the star, in the form of ripe, lush blackberries and currants. You’ll also find complex notes of grilled meats, chocolate, herbs and spices, wrapped into a perfectly soft, delectable texture. Drink now–2015." — S.H. (4/1/2012)

60% Merlot with the balance of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.  The vines are on the plains, between Bolgheri and the town of La California.  Temperature-controlled fermentation, manual punch-down and pump-overs.  Aged one year in barrique and a minimum of six months in bottle.  The wine has a warm, deep purplish-red color and aromas of Mediterranean wood.  Its flavors of wild berries and juicy  ripe cherries are balanced by spice notes, and an elegant structure and mellow mouthfeel.

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine:
"This is so smooth, rich and mellow, you hardly notice how intense the tannins are. But they are hard, and lock down the flavors of black currant and black licorice, plus the complex notes of minerals, roasted game and dark spices. Drink this Malbec-based blend now after decanting and over the next six years."  (3/1/2013)

93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The 2009 Fontalloro is 100% Sangiovese from three vineyards; Fontalloro in Chianti Classico and Casalino and Arcidossino, both in the Chianti Colli Senesi appellation. Here too, the vineyards are over 50 years old. Sweet red cherries, tobacco, flowers and spices meld together beautifully in this deep, resonant Fontalloro. This is a more immediate, round style than the Rancia. Ripe, silky tannins frame the long, polished finish. Today the Fontalloro isn’t as expressive as the Rancia, but it generally has a shorter drinking window. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024." - Antonio Galloni (Jun 2012)
