White Wine from Cote De Beaune

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: The potential here is enormous. This is a great wine, powerful and densely textured, at this stage packed with a steely character, but just waiting to unleash its beautifully defined fruit, to break out of the tight...

Burghound, 91 points: (BH89-91 points) A slightly riper and more complex nose is composed by essence of pear, white peach and dried flowers. There is more volume as well as mid-palate concentration to the medium-bodied and palate coating...

View From The Cellar, 90 points: (90+) The 2013 Chassagne villages from the Fontaine family is excellent, wafting from the glass in a complex and vibrant blend of apple, pear, spring flowers, a refined base of chalky soil tones, a touch of vanillin oak...

Burghound, 90 points: (87-90) Here too gentle wood frames the white flower, lemon zest and apple-scented nose. There is excellent intensity to the racy and well-delineated middle weight flavors that also culminate in a clean, dry and intense...

Burghound, 92 points: An expressive and slightly smoky nose offers up cool notes of citrus zest, white flower, pear and apple scents. There is a lovely sense of verve to the racy and strikingly intense middle weight flavors that possess good...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: (WA91-93 points) The 2012 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs-Gain has a little more new oak than the other premier crus at around 30%. The wood is neatly folded into the fruit on the nose with delicate white peach...
