RATINGS

92Vinous / IWC

Another drop-dead gorgeous wine...tender and caressing from start to finish. White peach, mint and spices notes find support from veins of underlying minerality in this understated, totally classy Chablis.

91The Wine Advocate

Apple and lemon with the tartness and piquancy of their skins inform a faintly oily yet strikingly and delightfully buoyant palate, leading to a long, enervating finish.

16.5Jancis Robinson

Bright and zesty but concentrated too, with a mouthwatering finish.
