RATINGS

97Vinous / IWC

...superb. Aromatic, precise and perfumed... White flowers, orchard fruit, mint, green apple, spice and lemon confit are some of the many notes that build in a silky, perfumed Chablis loaded with character and class.

94The Wine Advocate

Aromas of sweet yellow citrus fruit, beeswax, white flowers and fresh pastry...full-bodied, satiny-textured and multidimensional wine that's layered, concentrated and powerful, with a lively line of acidity and a precise, saline finish.
