The 2018 Chardonnay Sun Chase Vineyard is scented of toast, honeysuckle, sweet corn & baked apples with a honeyed undercurrent. The palate is medium to full-bodied, rounded & savory with well-woven freshness & a long, honeyed finish.
This Bourgogne Rouge is textbook old-school-style French Pinot Noir, elegant and beguiling, with blackberry and dark strawberry fruit wrapped around a core of earthy spice and vibrant acidity.
An exuberant nose with a bouquet of fruits: peach, apricot, quince and citrus, completed by sweet flowers. Fleshy & full on the palate with lovely spice & just a touch of bitterness on the finish that adds balance.

High-toned in fleshy peach and apricot with a nod of Good & Plenty licorice, this big-boned, structured and lushly crafted wine stands out with its complement of rich concentrated fruitiness and toasty oak.
The palate is full & lush with notes of strawberry & pomegranate, & the subtle oak nuances integrate perfectly with the core of ripe fruit & perfectly balanced acidity. This wine is drinking wonderfully now & will age gracefully for many years to come.

A balanced rosé Champagne, with hints of graphite & dried thyme accenting the juicy cherry & berry fruit flavors. Lively, with orange peel acidity & deep hints of smoke & roasted nut showing on the creamy finish.
Opens up to express the lighter side with red raspberry, red delicious apples, & hints of vanilla. The palate is graceful & elegant with flavors that match the aromas, black fruit, & savory spice. It enters with a broad pillowy tannin that glides across t

Nose is elegant, a little closed, serious & nuanced. The wine has a medium to full body, & has some silky tannins and therefore a silky texture.
A delicate and distinguished fine wine, green-gold in color. The local soil favorsharmonious development of the Chardonnay aromas with notes of citrus, hazelnut, toasted almond and mineral notes. Complex and luscious.
Raspberry-ripple aromas on the nose, very candied and sweet. Furry tannins, fine acidic lift and spicy, savoury contrast on the finish. Fairly light for the appellation.
Pretty notes of spices, liquorice, white pepper, golden & purple. The aromas evolve towards precious woods & an ash side. Fresh & greedy attack. An explosion of violet & spices. Sustained & silky tannins. The presence of mourvèdre brings depth & freshness

The 2018 is a gorgeous wine. It is emphasizes fruit density and power, while the savory notes that are typical of this site are nearly buried. Blueberry, tobacco, licorice, smoke, incense and leather open with some coaxing.
Nose is smoky, slightly herbal & marked by sweet cedar & vanilla-tinged oak, it also offers great cassis & blackberry fruit. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, the flavors are kept nicely in check by fine-grained tannins. - Wine Advocate

Wine mainly from the Montagne de Reims is the basis of this ripe Champagne. It is full-bodied with acidity in the background of the kiwi and spice flavors. Drink now. Organic.
