Item Description

This collection includes:

Ramey Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2010, Sonoma, California
Vinous 92:
Ramey's 2010 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast is laced with lemon, pastry, crushed rocks and mint. Beautifully delineated and focused, the 2010 stands out for its energy and verve. This is a gorgeous entry-level offering.
 
Sebastien Dampt Cote de Lechet 2014, Chablis, France
Allen Meadow’s Berghound 91:
“A wonderfully airy array speaks of green apple, a variety of citrus scents, white flowers and once again mineral reduction. There is both good volume and fine intensity to the tension-filled flavors that brim with minerality on the clean, racy, complex and linear finish that is also bone dry. This is textbook Côte de Léchet."
Bellavista Brut Franciacorta Alma Cuvée NV, Lombardy, Italy
Wine Spectator 89:
Italian sparkler. Well-knit and fresh, with a creamy bead and flavors of smoked hazelnut, dried apricot and ripe black raspberry. Citrusy finish.
Bernard DeFaix Chablis Cote De Lechet 2010, Chablis, France
Allen Meadow’s Berghound 90-93:
"A reserved and elegant nose shyly suggests aromas of mineral reduction, citrus and tidal pool nuances that introduce beautifully detailed and seductively rich flavors that also enjoy plenty of dry extract that adds a sense of volume to the bone dry and highly persistent finish. This is really a lovely effort."

Barat Chablis Mont de Milieu 1er Cru 2014,Chablis, France
Allen Meadow’s Berghound 92:

This would be an impossible wine to miss identifying as coming from Chablis with its cool and pure aromas of tidal pool, iodine, algae and mineral reduction. As is usually the case this is the biggest wine in the range with solid volume and concentration adding size and weight to the delicious flavors that display plenty of minerality on the intense, minerally and citrus-inflected finale.
