Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Chassagne-Montrachet La Truffiere shows lovely tension and pure, lively minerality. This is one of the brighter more focused of the 2009s here, but there is plenty of...

Wine Spectator: Tangy, focused, spicy and refreshing, with a line of acidity making the wine mouthwatering underneath flavors of lime, grapefruit and green apple. Tightly wound, this has the ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Light, green-tinged gold. Pungent, mineral-accented aromas of pear skin, nectarine, honeysuckle and iodine, with a hint of vanilla. Weighty but surprisingly bright and lithe...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Vivid yellow. Candied citrus fruits and white flowers on the bright, mineral-accented nose and palate. Juicy, sharply focused orange and lemon curd flavors give way to deeper...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Chardonnay Bacigalupi Vineyard, from old Wente clones, is a gorgeous wine graced with exquisite textural depth and elegance. It boasts tons of richness in its sensual...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The estate's 2009 Chablis Vaudesir is one of the more understated selections in this lineup. It is less minerally intense than some of the other wines, but makes up for that w...

Burghound: This also displays very generous wood that fights somewhat with the notably ripe yellow orchard fruit that is borderline exotic in character. The big, powerful and impressivel...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Chardonnay is youthfully mute at this stage with delicate notes of orange blossom, lightly toasted bread, some oatmeal, under-ripe pineapple and lemon curd. The elega...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright pale yellow. Orange blossom and minerals on the nose. Distinctly velvety in the mouth but a step up in energy from the Caillerets thanks to the wine's reverberating min...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Pale, greenish-yellow. Brisk aromas of lemon, lime and crushed stone. Rich, dense and very ripe but more minerally than the Rougeots; a note of marzipan shades to hazelnutty...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright yellow. Ripe but cooler aromas of citrus fruits, with hints of marzipan and apricot emerging with air. Juicy and fruity in the mouth, with a solid impression of acidity...
