"While the wine does have richness, it’s the mineral and citrus side that is coming through at this stage. The balance with the wood aging is so right that you feel the toast rather than tasting it."

"A deliciously fruity wine, its bright apricot, pineapple and peach flavors open and generous. ...lemon zest and dryness to promise aging. At the end, though, fruit and a light toastiness give immediate pleasure."

“…an amplification of a terroir that is typically bold and rich. This golden wine has the floral buzz of a beehive, layering lime blossom over umami limestone, savory pear and peach in a succulent flavor that lasts for minutes.”

“This leads you on with floral scents of honeycomb and vanilla, then sucks you down through layer upon layer of earth, brightness and darkness in flashes of delicacy and brooding power.”

“...a lithe white with rich layers of flavor. There’s tension in the structure and complexity in the dry pineapple and grapefruit pith fruitiness."

Wine & Spirits
93 points, A Year's Best White Burgundy
"It’s an elegant wine on a grand scale, with the fresh juiciness of nectarine and the woodsy notes of pear skin. Check on this six to eight years from the vintage, as a partner for crab or langoustines.”

Wine & Spirits
95 points, A Year's Best White Burgundy
“...this is a range of delicate florals, from lily of the valley to the scent of meadow flowers in spring. On a deeper level, this is powerfully structured, an obelisk of pure white limestone, supercharged in its power.”

Wine & Spirits
94 points, A Year's Best White Burgundy
“...so refined that it just feels good in the mouth, rolling from luscious vanilla cream to the juice of grapes taken to a higher plane. ...delivers a flavor that reads as lobster shell broth, the fruit as lemon curd and spring flowers.”

“It fills the glass with scents of vanilla, pear and spice, delivers them with complete sense of comfort and ease, then lasts with a fragrant, vibrant memory of flavor, refreshing and mouthwatering to drink right now."

Wine & Spirits
92 points, A Year's Best White Burgundy
“...cool, fragrant and rich, an evocation of limestone caught, for now, in the vanilla and spice scents of the oak in which it aged. ...The freshness of the wine will sustain it as the flavors grow more complex.”

“Commanding beauty is rarely as subtle as this Chevalier-Montrachet, the curves of its flavor bringing the kind of emotional reaction that few wines have the power to achieve…four days of air only improve on its freshness and layered complexity…”

Wine & Spirits
91 points, Year's Best Burgundy
“Performing at the level of a fine Côte d’Or village wine, this Mâcon is a lithe white with rich layers of flavor. There’s tension in the structure and complexity in the dry pineapple and grapefruit pith fruitiness.”

“Aromas of lemon and butterscotch lead off, followed by lime, buttered pastry and mineral flavors. Tightly wound and muscular, with fine intensity and a long, mouthwatering finish. Stays vibrant, echoing butterscotch and stone on the aftertaste.”

"Broad-shouldered and somewhat monolithic, this white plays its peach, citrus and apple flavors off spice and toast notes. The vibrant structure keeps this well-defined, as the citrus and spice themes echo on the finish."

"Seems fluid, yet there's plenty of substance in this racy white. Lime blossom, blood orange, citronella and hazelnut flavors are at the core, while spice and stone elements emerge on the finish. Finishes with a cascade of citrus and spice notes…."

“Still raw and primary, but shows good intense flavors of peach, apple and grapefruit. There’s also a mineral streak that manifests on the finish and just keeps coming at you on the long aftertaste. Powerful, yet sleek and nervous.”

"A ripe, toasty wine, very buttery. It has rich, almost sweet yellow fruit balanced with a wonderful mineral texture...shows its future as being rounded and opulent. The acidity that holds it all together shows in the finish."
