RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

It simultaneously lingers in the mouth and the memory. The fruit is wrapped around a core of acid and crouches on the mid-palate.

94Wine Enthusiast

...rich, polished bottling that will please many a Burghound. The nose leads with notes of roasted nuts, toasty oak, struck match and saline amid lemon curd and pineapple rind. The palate is opulent but focused.

93Vinous / IWC

Fresh honeydew, Meyer lemon, pear and toasted brioche on the highly perfumed, mineral-accented nose. Bright and penetrating in the mouth, offering densely packed yet nervy citrus and orchard fruit flavors braced by a spine of juicy acidity. Shows really impressive energy and minerally bite on the clinging finish, which features a sexy floral quality and a hint of oyster shell.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Notably pale. Modest nose. Strong lime notes and a bit more emphatic on the palate than both the nose and other vintages.

TYPE

White Wine, Chardonnay

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
