“This is also on the ripe side for a 2007 with an ultra elegant nose that is pure, airy and cool, indeed this is unusually elegant for the appellation with its white flower, citrus, pear and light spice hints that are in perfect keeping with the rich, full and broad-shouldered flavors that possess the usual volume and power of a classic Bâtard but do not lose any of the precision or detail on the expansive, mouth coating and hugely long finish. Like a number of examples in 2007, this is an elegant Bâtard.”

“Taut and mineral, this is currently a wine that is waiting to reveal its power and majesty. The fruit is on a tight rein of acidity, which only slowly opens up to show mango, pineapple, crisp citrus, layers of toast and a mouth-enveloping richness.”

“A rich, mouthfilling, sophisticated wine. The secret is in the balance, with the concentrated fruit flavors—dried apricot, mango and lemon—in just the right proportion. It tastes delicious now, but will certainly age over five years or more.”

“A superb wine. It opens slowly in the mouth, revealing layers of toast followed by intense white and green fruits. Spice and nutmeg accent the kiwi, pepper and pineapple notes, all concentrated around a core of minerality.”

“Solid and compact right now, this is a powerful, concentrated white, showing a chalk flavor under the butter and apricot. Gathers speed across the palate, building to a long finish. Needs time to integrate and realize its full potential.”

“Reminiscent of Chevalier-Montrachet for its creamy texture and lime blossom and hazelnut aromas and flavors. This is delicate, with a refined, lively structure, excellent balance and a lingering aftertaste.”

“A ripe swath of lime, persimmon, butterscotch and spice notes mark this lush white. It’s immediate, with a bright structure, yet remains extremely long and persistent. The finish is its best feature now.”
