RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

Wafting from the glass with aromas of golden orchard fruit, honey comb, confit citrus, oatmeal and crisp green apple... medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a generous core of fruit, lively acids, and a long, saline finish.

92-93James Suckling

Some savory and lemon-pastry aromas here. The palate has such fleshy peaches and white nectarines, as well as mangoes. Very round, open and fluid wine. Acidity has the final word. So long and densely mineral at the finish.

92Jeb Dunnuck

...offers a racy, mineral-laced, even salty style that has lots of pear and stone fruits as well as notes of white flowers, iodine, and honeysuckle. Playing in the medium-bodied end of the spectrum...

91-94Vinous / IWC

Creamy, silky and pulsing with energy, the Vaillons has so much to offer. Lemon confit, white flowers and mint are beautifully laced together throughout.
