Wine Advocate (93+)Unfurling in the glass with incipiently complex aromas of citrus oil, wheat toast, fresh peach and crisp orchard fruit, the newly released 2012 Vintage Brut is full-bodied, deep and tightly wound, with excellent concentration, racy acids and a fine mousse, concluding with a long and penetrating finish. Even though it's still a little reserved after its recent disgorgement |

Wine Advocate (90+)Tasted from magnum, Piper-Heidsieck's 2018 Vintage opens with an aromatic medley of pear, freshly baked bread, orange zest and dried apricot mingling with white peach, wheat toast and a subtle trace of smoky reduction. Medium- to full-bodied, it is ample and textural, underpinned by ripe yet vibrant acidity and chalky structuring extract, culminating in a long, delicately toasty finish. Disgorged in January 2024, it carries a dosage of seven grams per liter. |

Decanter (94)This 100% Chardonnay uses base wine from the excellent 2013 vintage, which is generally a better vintage for Chardonnay than 2012, with 35% reserve wines added. It has a lovely green-tinged hue with exceptional poise and depth - real complexities here from the late-picked fruit, harvested into October. It has enough nuance for gastronomy, especially roast turbot with cèpes but also sole. Still under-the-radar enough to be a bargain. |

The Real Review (HH) (98)Full golden-yellow colour; very toasty old-wine bouquet which gradually opened up and revealed more with time in the glass. Aromas of toasted bread, toffee, vanilla, apricot, blood orange, quince paste; the palate full, rich and very dry, the penetrating acidity powering a very long finish. A very mature Champagne, not for everyone, but for those who enjoy aged Champagne, it's a joy. The rating is purely about pleasure. (60/40 pinot noir / chardonnay. 4 grams/litre dosage; disgorged in January 2022) |

Wine Spectator (98)A beautifully bright and expressive Champagne, with precision and vivid acidity throughout; roasted coffee bean and graphite notes lead to a rich palate of toasted brioche, crystallized honey, bergamot and crème de cassis. Exotic ground spice details of cardamom, ginger and anise show on the finish. Tasted from magnum. Drink now through 2030. |

Decanter (98)Best in Show Award Pale gold in colour; very fine mousse. Fresh, pure and invigorating aromas in which green apple and citrus slowly give way to subtle, soft brioche, ivy leaf and plant sap; just a brush stroke of cream behind. This is a lean, pure Champagne of perfectly poised ripeness and restraint, very long in flavour, with the creamy richness of autolysis perfectly judged -- supportive but in no way obtrusive. The minority Chardonnay still takes a leading role at this stage; the majority Pinot Noir provides a pure frame and canvas. Exciting now, but don't hurry to drink, even though it already has a decade and a half behind it: there are further rewards ahead. |

Decanter (98)Best in Show 70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir With fourteen years' ageing under its belt, this Champagne has had time to gather and marshal all its resources - which it does with great style and assurance. It's a pale, glowing lemon yellow, with a fine mousse and ample wealth of billowing vanilla, cream and plump hazels. The palate has dramatic intensity and drive, delivering a wealth of chalky lemon; its athleticism and vigour almost come as a surprise after that floating veil of seductive scent. A fresh, mouth-cleansing finish completes the appeal of this skilful, sagely judged blend from a hugely likeable vintage. |

Pla del Fount Maury 1939 is a distinguished vintage from the esteemed Maury region in Roussillon. Crafted with meticulous attention, the wine is produced from select Grenache grapes, hand-harvested to ensure optimal ripeness. Fermentation is carefully controlled, followed by fortification with high-quality grape spirit to preserve its natural sweetness and complexity. Aged for over eight decades in French oak barrels, Pla del Fount Maury 1939 develops a rich tapestry of flavours, including dried fruits, spices, and subtle hints of dark chocolate. The unique terroir of Maury, characterised by its microclimate and limestone-rich soils, imparts a distinct character that is both elegant and enduring. Produced by the renowned Pla del Fount estate, known for its unwavering commitment to quality and tradition, this 1939 vintage exemplifies the pinnacle of fortified wine craftsmanship. Ideal for savouring on its own or pairing with fine desserts, Pla del Fount Maury 1939 is a remarkable addition to any connoisseur’s collection. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (88)The 2020 Plince has a relatively straightforward nose compared to its fellow Pomerol crus, slightly tertiary black fruit, perhaps a little more herbaceous in style. The palate has a light frame of tannins, drier and a tad more austere in style but with a fresh graphite-tinged finish emanating from the 16% Cabernet Franc. |

Podere di Valloni Colline Novaresi Sass Russ 2017 is a mastercrafted Italian red wine, hailing from Novara hills in Piedmont. An exemplar of artisanal winemaking, this biodynamically-grown gem is the labour of love by the esteemed Podere dei Valloni estate. The winery employed traditional vinification techniques with fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by maturation in oak barrels to procure the rich, elegant structure of the wine. The 2017 Sass Russ is a harmonious blend of Nebbiolo and Vespolina grapes that imparts a vibrant ruby red hue. As an expert connoisseur, you'll relish the bouquet of wild berries, mixed spices, and light notes of vanilla. On the palate, this wine surprises with a striking balance of tannin, acidity, and fruit-forward lushness. Podere di Valloni Colline Novaresi Sass Russ 2017 is a testament to the Piedmontese terroir; a fine wine that deserves a place in every sophisticated cellar. |

A triumph of Italian winemaking, the Podere Le Boncie Le Trame 2019 embarks on a sensory journey that transcends the ordinary. Born in the prestigious hills of Chianti Classico, this superlative selection is the testament of Giovanna Morganti, a respected necologist inspired by her father's legacy. This wine espouses eco-friendly viticulture, as organic and biodynamic practices reign supreme. Commanding Sangiovese grapes amalgamated with delicate touches of Colorino, Mammolo and Foglia Tonda imbue exceptional character in the Podere Le Boncie Le Trame 2019. The grapes, cultivated across 5 hectares of rich limestone and clay soils, are handpicked and spontaneously fermented in Slavonian oak. The end result? An enchanting bouquet of red fruits, subtle earthy undertones and soft spices, harmonised by invigorating acidity and supple tannins. Revel in the tasteful elegance of Podere Le Boncie Le Trame 2019, a wine expressing the authenticity of its Tuscan cradle and the producer's unwavering commitment to excellence. |

Vinous (96)An enticing mix of exotic spice, crushed violets, medicinal black cherries and sweet mint wafts up from the 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Lupi e Sirene. Its textures are silky and rich, nicely matched by depths of ripe red and blue berries, plus an enriching hint of almond paste. This stops just short of decadence, as salty minerals and bright acidity add a more savory twang, and fine-grained tannins slowly take hold. While structured, the long, dramatic finale is packed full of dark primary fruits, savory herbs and hints of mocha. I expect the 2016 Riserva Lupi e Sirene to be firing on all cylinders after only a short stay in the cellar. There will be no 2017 due to the drastic loss of fruit in that extremely dry and warm vintage. |
