Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 92

"A moderately exotic nose is composed of notes of pineapple, lychee, passion fruit and enough wood to merit pointing out. There is again fine volume to the equally sappy and attractively textured flavors that exude both warmth and minerality on the clean and reasonably dry finish. The warmth of the 2020 vintage is more apparent here though not so much as to materially detract from the overall sense of balance." -Allen Meadows

Robert Parker

RP 93

"The 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru Les Crays has turned out nicely, mingling aromas of orange oil and citrus blossoms with notes of nutmeg, peach and pastry cream. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's textural and enveloping, with racy acids and a long, mineral finish." -Robert Parker

Decanter

D 93

"In 2020 the balance is particularly deft, with a ripe apple fruit enlivened by crisp lemon peel notes and a saline undercurrent. The texture is dense but very elegantly balanced, and there is no sense of heaviness at all. This is top-flight Pouilly-Fuissé. The vineyard is just below the Rock of Vergisson, with 50-year-old vines that face due south. The exposition delivers richness, the limestone delivers minerals."

Focus On: Burgundy

Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.

While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!

From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
