RATINGS

92Stephen Tanzer

Apple and wet stone aromas. Sweet, concentrated flavors of apple and pear. Boasts real old-viney intensity and terrific clarity and verve. A strong and energetic wine, in the style of the Folatieres. Chewy, deep and very long, with lovely ripeness on the back end.

91-92The Wine Advocate

...detonates from the glass with spice cake aromas. This gorgeous wine has huge depth to its caramelized mineral and toasted hazelnut-flavored personality. It is seamless, harmonious, concentrated, and has an extensive finish.

Elegant, fine and classy aromas of white flowers, touch of wood spice and smoke and obviously minerality followed by intense, detailed, even chiseled flavors that display excellent length. This is delicious and forward yet quite serious.

Located in Beaune, the estate has 336 acres of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Gamay. Though all the maison’s wines are known for their high quality, signature wines are the Bonnes Mares, Chambertin-Close de Beze, Chevalier-Montrachet les Demoiselles, Corton-Charlemagne, Le Montrachet and Musigny.
