2016 Aigua de Llum de Vall Llach

Thomas Matthews, Wine Spectator, September 2018

“Peach and almond flavors mingle in this juicy white, backed by grapefruit and mineral notes. Not overtly expressive, but the rich texture shows focus and energy. Viognier. Drink now through 2022. 25 cases imported.”

2016 Aigua de Llum de Vall Llach

Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, July 2018

“The one white wine they produce with Viognier grapes is the 2016 Aigua de Llum, made with the grapes from 22-year-old vines on slate soils. Half of the wine fermented in 300-liter oak barrels and the rest in stainless steel. It matured in 225- and 300-liter oak barrels for four months. It felt very different from what I had tasted previously, quite young and fruit-driven, with some floral notes and simple aromas of white fruit along with a spicy and smoky touch. It didn't really show any Viognier character and came through as a straightforward, fresh white. 1,200 bottles were filled in June 2017.”

2015 Laurenz V. Forbidden Grüner Veltliner

Anne Krebiehl, Wine Enthusiast, September 2016

“Notes of red apple and herbal savor lead to an even fruitier, fresh palate of easy lightness. This is all about that fresh, ripe apple flavor in all its honest, fresh-faced appeal. Daringly off dry, the merest suggestion of sweetness boosts all the delicious apple notes and makes this very, very fruity. Drink soon”

James Suckling, July 2017

“Smoky elements with a wealth of dark rich plum fruits. The freshness is impressive for the nearly ten years of age here. This wine has a lot to offer. The palate has dense tannins but is very focused. Impressive.”

2015 Oberon Merlot

Augustus Weed, Wine Spectator, January 2022

“The Oberon shows the richness that Napa Merlot can achieve on its own.” A review from Kim Marcus is also included stating, “A robust style, with inky notes to the dark currant, dried sage and fig flavors that glide across the palate. The sanguine finish is richly spiced. Drink now through 2020”

2015 Oberon Los Carneros Chardonnay

James Laube, Wine Spectator, January 2022

2015 Oberon Los Carneros Chardonnay

Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, January 2022

“This lightly ripe wine shows slight reduction on the nose, which presents as toasted oak and salty brine. It's fresher on the palate, recalling green apple and melon.”

1995 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires

Nick Stock, James Suckling, July 2015

“A wine with some impressive deep-set complexity. Very toasty, sweet, caramelized lemon and grapefruit aromas plus a wealth of grilled hazelnuts and sweet-smelling spicy accents too. The palate's smoky, savory and has sherry-like nutty aged characters. The thread runs long through the finish, and slightly dried citrus fruits fade slowly in a nutty afterglow with a candied lime finish. A truly mature Champagne. Drink now.”

1995 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires

Antonio Galloni, Vinous, October 2015

“The 1995 Brut Blanc des Millenaires shows just how compelling this often overlooked vintage can be. Layers of lemon, pastry spices, crushed rocks and savory herbs literally jump from the glass in this exquisite, perfumed, beautifully delineated Champagne. The 1995 shows lovely flavor complexity and nuance from its extended time in bottle, yet it also retains plenty of freshness, verve and acidity. This is a great showing from Charles Heidsieck. The 1995 was made before the tenure of the house's current team, headed by CEO Cécile Bonnefond. It will be very interesting to see what develops at this historic property over the coming years.”

1995 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires

Joshua Greene, Wine & Spirits, December 2015

“This luxurious blend from the Cote des Blancs is gaining maturity, though it's still fresh enough that the flavors have the taste of a ripe white peach.  The bubbles are fine, the flavors touched by vanilla and cream.  A broad, luscious Champagne to make fried chicken festive.”

1995 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires

Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, September 2015

“A mouthwatering Champagne, refined and satiny in texture, with a citrusy overtone to the flavors of apricot preserves, toasted hazelnut and brioche, crystallized honey and fleur de sel. Presents a lasting, smoke- and spice-filled finish. Drink now through 2025.”

2006 Charles Heidsieck Millésimé Vintage Rosé

Antonio Galloni, Vinous, November 2015

“Heidsieck's 2006 Brut Rosé Vintage offers good immediacy and plenty of intensity, both of which make it quite appealing. Still a bit tight, the 2006 could use another year or more in bottle to soften. Although light in color, the 2006 packs a pretty serious punch. Hints of orange zest, chalk and white pepper add an attractive upper register on the finish. With time in the glass, the 2006 softens nicely, hinting at a bright future. Disgorged: October 28, 2014.”

2006 Charles Heidsieck Millésimé Vintage Rosé

Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, December 2015

“This is a pale-colored wine with a finely wrought texture and great fruit. It is tight and mineral on the one hand, but balanced with the crispest red-currant flavors that offer a bright line in acidity. Delicious hints of age round out the final fresh aftertaste.”

2006 Charles Heidsieck Millésimé Vintage Rosé

Joshua Greene, Wine & Spirits, December 2015

“The brisk focus of fruit grown in limestone gives this wine's Pinot Noir depths of fruit a firm shape and brash tension. Meanwhile, the richness of the wine makes it soft to the touch broad, zesty, firm and lasting, this is built age.”

2005 Charles Heidsieck Millésimé Vintage Brut

Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2022

“The 2005 Brut Vintage is an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next few years. Brioche, pastry, baked apple and apricot are some of the notes that flesh out in the glass. Supple, expressive and inviting, the 2005 offers lovely balance, especially for the year. Warm, toasty notes meld into the resonant, enveloping finish. This is quite lovely. Disgorged: May 6, 2014.”
