Ratings & Tasting Notes:

95 points Wine Advocate

The 2014 Blanc de Noirs Heintz Vineyard has a singular perfume of citrus blossom, tangerine peel and full peachy fruit with streaks of stony mineral character. It develops beautifully in the glass, gaining nuance and intensity, and the medium-bodied palate is powerful. Dry with surprisingly energetic mousse and freshness, it has concentrated, mineral-driven fruit, fine floral accents and a long, layered finish. (EB)  (7/2023)

92 points Vinous

The 2014 Blanc de Noirs Charles Heintz Vineyard is quite open and racy, with soft, gentle curves and terrific depth. Hazelnut, dried flowers, mint and red berry fruit all develop in the glass. There is plenty of Pinot character. The decision to bottle with no dosage yields a wine that flirts between being focused and coming across a touch lean. It will be interesting to see how this delicate balance develops over time. (AG)  (5/2019)
