White Wine from Cote De Beaune

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Vergers is lovely, wafting from the glass with notes of apple, white flowers, pear and subtle hazelnut cream. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and elegant...

Decanter, 94 points: Like all of the parcels in this low-lying premier cru, this was frosted in 2016, so the quality of the 2017 showed us what we missed out on. Saline and refreshing, this has notes of gunflint and oyster shell, aromatic oak...

Burghound, 92 points: (90-92) A softly perfumed nose plays right on the edge of exotic fruit on the otherwise more typical notes of acacia blossom, apple and peach aromas that are trimmed in just enough pain grillé to notice. The intensely...

Wine Spectator, 91 points: This is rich and buttery, evoking peach, honey, spice and mineral aromas and flavors. Delivers nice complexity and a long, citrus-, stone- and spice-filled finish. Drink now through 2023. 200 cases imported.–BS

Wine & Spirits, 96 points: Alain Chavy’s cellar is unusually deep for Puligny, 18 feet underground, providing a cold delay to the start of malolactic fermentation, lengthening the slow evolution of this wine in 228-liter barrels and 400-liter...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: Enticing aromas and flavors of butter, peach, honey, seashore and spice are the hallmarks of this beautifully balanced white. Vibrant and built to age a bit, with a complex, lingering aftertaste. Drink now through 2028...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (89 - 92) The 2012 Meursault 1er Cru Le Purosot Dessus comes from 80-year-old vines that produced small berries and underwent a slow malo-lactic fermentation (consequently my sample had not been racked). It was the only...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Superb richness of fruit with quite an exotic character of peaches and mangoes on the nose and palate. It delivered brightly-cut acidity that really sizzles on the finish. Beautiful richness and freshness here. Drink now...

Burghound, 91 points: (88-91) A background touch of wood frames the equally fresh and slightly riper aromas of pear, apple and acacia blossom. There is slightly better complexity to the rich, round and very generously proportioned flavors that...

Burghound, 90 points: A deft if not invisible touch of wood frames pretty floral, citrus and pear scents that are trimmed in just a hint of petrol. The generous, mouth coating and lightly mineral-inflected medium weight flavors possess good...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Racy, with a minerally underpinning and floral, apple and lime blossom flavors. Balanced in a steely way, showing plenty of stone, citrus and spice notes on the finish. Best from 2021 through 2033. 107 cases imported. –BS
