White Wine from Cote De Beaune

Vinous, 95 points: (92-95) (malo finished): Bright yellow. Candied lime, underripe pineapple and white peach on the nose, complicated by notes of bergamot and crushed stone. Plush and intense but youthfully reserved, conveying savory...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Lean and tight, with oak spice wrapped around a core of lemon, apple and stone flavors. Firms up in the end, yet shows intensity and promise of things to come. Best from 2021 through 2029. — B.S.

View From The Cellar, 94 points: (94+) I love good Caillerets and the Fontaines’ version is stellar in 2013. The pure and utterly classic aromatic constellation delivers a blend of delicious apples, pear, lemon, very complex, chalky minerality, a...

Burghound, 91 points: (89-91)As is typically the case at this address, the CSJ is easily the most elegant and refined wine in the range with its cool and pure essence of black raspberry, violet and softly spiced aromas. The sense of refinement...

Burghound, 94 points: (BH91-94 points) An interesting hint of mint adds a top note to the aromas of honeysuckle, petrol, pain grillé and spiced pear. The succulent and beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors possess a caressing mouth feel...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: A fresh style, with a gossamer texture framing lemon, apple and white peach flavors. Accents of baking spices and mineral add depth as this unfolds to a long, intense aftertaste. Best from 2019 to 2025. — B.S.

Burghound, 93 points: (90-93) This too is sufficiently reduced to mask the nuances of what appears to be ripe fruit. There is excellent verve to the big-bodied and well-concentrated flavors that coat the palate with sap on the firmer and more...

Vinous, 90 points: Sexy if rather reticent aromas of peach and minerals suggest moderately ripe grapes. In a cooler style in the mouth, offering good breadth but not the clarity of the 2017 version. Finishes with good dusty persistence but...

View From The Cellar, 92 points: The 2015 Clos de la Barre is also excellent, with a bit more mineral complexity and backend length and the very good Meursault AC this year. The wine delivers a superb aromatic constellation of pear, apple, a touch of...
