RATINGS

95+ The Wine Advocate

Aromas of pear, green apple and citrus oil mingling with hints of fresh bread and oyster shell...full-bodied, layered wine that's ample and elegantly muscular... Concluding with a long, chalky finish...

95-97Vinous / IWC

...simply magnificent... Lemon confit, white pepper, mint and dried flowers build as this flamboyant, exotic Chablis shows off its curves.

95-96James Suckling

...super flinty white peaches and yellow grapefruit, almond pastry and also some weight to the core. A sweeping, smooth palate that carries such intensity and such an assertively rich and layered feel. The rich DNA of this parcel is delivered with such precision and carefully stacked fruit that drives deep into the finish.
