2010 Alphonse Mellot - Sancerre Blanc Generation XIX  
2010 Alphonse Mellot - Sancerre Blanc Generation XIX $67.99 $49.95

White | Sauvignon Blanc | France | Loire Valley | 750ml
A high-flying white Sancerre. Family Mellot has long been recognized for the quality of its white Sancerre but also contributes to the success of any name. Known for the latter wine, Domaine La Moussi?re wanted to acclaim at Sauvignon Blanc, here is a beautiful illustration: Notes of beeswax, gingerbread, lemon menthol and toasted hazelnut and a wonderfully dynamic mouth, thirst-quenching . This wine is powerful and fine, caught in the duality wealth / firmness. The appearance is Pale gold yellow in colour with light green sheen - brilliant, lively and clear - a mature appearance. Mature and fresh nose. Finely expressed lemon scented honeydew, with hints of menthol, acacia then dried fruits, St George's mushrooms from meadows and iodised mineral. When opened hints of beeswax, gingerbread and menthol lemon appear. Full, fresh, rich and virile taste. An honest effect covered with mellowness well combined with acidity and halfway through it is joined by toasted nuts.The rich finish explodes in a hint of freshness accentuating the iodised mineral, Muscat and boxtree. Slight plant bitterness is mixed with long lasting quality. When older, it should change into terpenic aromas, white truffles on honeyed hazelnut background. A powerful fine wine, with dual complex / solidity and change / freshness.

2010 Château d'Yquem - Sauternes (Pre-arrival)  
2010 Château d'Yquem - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) $899.95 $749.95

White | Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle | France | Bordeaux | 750ml

93-96

Picked predominantly over 10 days from October 14, the 2010 d'Yquem has 141gms/L residual sugar and pH 3.80. It is a slow-burner, the nose understated at first but unfurling with each passing moment with subtle scents of freshly sliced apricots, Clementine, clear honey and white flowers. There is an underlying minerality that really defines this bouquet. The palate is similar to the nose, revealing hidden facets with almost each swirl of the glass – orange blossom, limestone, white peach and honeysuckle. This is such a precise d'Yquem; it is after you have swallowed the wine that one comprehends just how brilliant it is.

White | Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle | France | Bordeaux | 750ml
Pale, well protected against oxidation by Sulphur Dioxide, seems more fluid because of that, but well balanced and lovely aftertaste. Will show better in six months time. Drink 2018-2030.

92-95

James Suckling 93-94 Points: Wine Advocate 91-93: The 2010 Chateau Guiraud has fine purity and minerality on the nose, with touches of passion fruit and dried apricot, later quince joining the fray. The palate is very well-balanced with a lively entry of apricot, quince and a touch of hazelnut. The middle and finish demonstrate fine tension and a lot of freshness. Individual lots seemed to have more race than the final sample, and I suspect it will warrant a higher score once the final blend is in bottle.

James Suckling: 93-94 Points: Already a slightly dark colore. Beautiful concentration. It's rich and very sweet with intense notes of bitter oranges and honey. Superb finish that long and racy with notes of botrytis.

2010 Château Raymond-Lafon - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) (375ml) $33.99

White | Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle | France | 375ml
Deep gold. 'Let it warm a little bit because it's at 10 rather than 12 at the moment', say the Dourthe serving team. Lovely excitement on the nose. There is so much botrytis and richness here. Golden syrup and perhaps a tad lack of acidity. Round and gingery and lilies. Maybe very slightly over the top but no-one could accuse this of being too fresh and lean! Wonderful unctuousness - though taken to the limits of ripeness. As I say, I'd like just a little more acidity. Great richness on the nose.

James Suckling 95-96 Points: I love the botrytis spice character to this wine with dried apricots and tropical fruits. It's full bodied, medium sweet with a long intense finish. It's very layered. Wine of the vintage.

This has quite a bit of sulphur on the nose at first, but it clears with aeration. It remains tightly-coiled, with lemon, honey, apricot and limestone, demonstrating fine minerality. The palate has great tension on the entry, quite spicy and nutty in style, with a vibrant, zesty finish. This is an exuberant Sigalas-Rabaud with great potential.

The Chateau Suduiraut has a comparatively rich, botrytized bouquet with dried honey, pineapple and a touch of Seville orange marmalade, with exquisite definition and focus. The palate is well-balanced, with a viscous texture and a good level of botrytis, demonstrating fine minerality and tautness. Dried mango, quince and spice all interlace the focused finish, which is long in the mouth. Tasted against its peers, this has a higher level of intensity and focus. A superb follow-up to the sensational 2009.

2010 Clos Roche Blanche - Sauvignon Touraine  
2010 Clos Roche Blanche - Sauvignon Touraine $22.99

White | Sauvignon Blanc | France | 750ml

Touraine, a Loire Valley appellation, designates a large viticultural area around the city of Tours. The vineyards of Clos Roche Blanche were planted on the Touraine hills bordering the Cher river by the Roussel family at the end of the 19th century and have remained in the family since. Catherine Roussel took over this 28-hectare estate in 1975 from her father, and was later joined by Didier Barrouillet, who tends the vineyards and makes the wine. Both are enthusiastic proponents of non-interventionist winemaking.

2010 Domaine Serge Laporte - Sancerre Chavignol $34.99 $25.95

White | Sauvignon Blanc | France | Sancerre | 750ml
Pale gold. Crushed stone, lime zest and white pepper on the nose. Precise, elegant wine combining density with nervy, mineral- inflected citrus fruit. The lemon, spearmint and spice flavors are complicated by a soil-driven salinity and a hint of white flowers. Finishes with tangy grip and good dusty length. This would be superb with oysters or an aged goat cheese.

2010 Duckhorn - Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley $34.95 $21.95

White | Sauvignon Blanc | United States | California | 750ml

93

This enticing Sauvignon Blanc offers a beautiful combination of freshness and complexity. The aromas are rich and layered with elements of pineapple, guava, peach and lemon zest. On the palate, the entry is crisp and inviting with good acidity supporting flavors of lemon meringue, grapefruit, pear and flint. The addition of Semillon ccentuates the wine's tropical notes with subtle oak adding nuance and dimension.
