RATINGS

93The Wine Advocate

Medium-bodied, deep, rich, and satin-textured, it reveals an inspiring character of outstanding depth, concentration, focus, and length. Loads of creamy seashells are intermingled with flint and pears in its detailed yet powerful core.

93Stephen Tanzer

Pure, sweet aromas of lime blossom, minerals and flinty soil. Then very ripe but racy on the palate, with creamy-sweet citrus and stone flavors enlivened by bracing acidity. Wonderfully fresh, supple with superb inner-mouth energy.

93-95Burghound.com

Extremely subtle smoke and wood spice blend with classic Chablis green apple and crushed oyster shell aromas...

18.5Jancis Robinson

Green and round and deep. A big, bold Chablis – perhaps too big for purists, but certainly impressive. Long term.
