Les Vins Julien 2023 Le Blanc Light, California : 92 pts

Winemaker Julien Fayard’s field blend, with only 70 calories and coming in at 11% abv. Crisp pear, Fuji apple, and honeysuckle are clean and stark on the palate. Fresh, high-toned acidity adds top notes to the lemon-lime squeeze on the finish.

 

Les Vins Julien 2023 Chardonnay Light, Alder Springs Vineyard, Mendocino County : 93 pts

An ethereal white wine with a whisp of linen, vanilla crème fraiche, and lemon bar. Exacting precision and a balanced palate of modernity for a California Chardonnay. 93

 

Les Vins Julien 2023 Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley PUBLISHER’S PICK : 93 pts

Mesmerizing perfume of basil, chervil, and lime zest. On the palate, the first sip swirls the palate in a wash of wet stone and grapefruit. Texturally, the wine owns up to a gossamer-toned esprit, slightly creamy, with candied pineapple and a spark on the finish from its racy acidity. 93

 

Les Vins Julien 2022 Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, Sonoma County ($35) PUBLISHER’S PICK : 92 pts

Cherries and earth create an aromatic lift, followed by flavors of jasmine, wet stone, espresso, and tobacco. The wine possesses just enough weight to carry all this savoriness to the finish, amplified by a nip of black peppered-plum and walnut. 92

Les Vins Julien 2022 Côtes du Rhône Red Blend, Rhône Valley, France BEST IMPORT : 93 pts

Earthy and aromatic, with a paradigm of rose petals weaving through grilled meat and flint, enveloped in plum skin and ripe cherry. Complex and layered with a bright and lively acidity.
