2018 White Wine from France

Decanter, 91 points: Pleasing lemon citrus with delicate grassy notes; creamy and lush with a lovely mineral freshness and a firm finish.

Vinous, 94 points: The 2018 Pouilly-Fuissé Aux Bouthières is an incredibly distinctive wine. Broad, ample and creamy, the 2018 possesses tremendous textural resonance and nuance that only builds over time. Lemon confit, white flowers...

Vinous, 93 points: The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has a very mineral driven bouquet, fresh but sharing some of the Zen-like characteristic that I discerned on the 2019. The palate is taut and fresh with a fine bead of...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: The gentle nose on this wine combines the slight flintiness of reduction with ethereal dried yarrow. The palate is multi-dimensional with yeast, lemon, chalk and saltiness. Subtle texture and scented freshness are...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: (93-94 points) Fermented 30% in oak. This is more classic and minerally and offers a blend of lemons and yellow nectarines with a very flinty spark on the nose, too. The white peaches here are stunning, so deliciously...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 93 points: (90-93 points) Lovely pale lemon, much more nose here than the straight Meursault, fresh lemon and verbena, significant oak in the background, with excellent length.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 92 points: Pale but attractive colour. There is a good weight of fruit to the nose. This is discreet up front but builds towards the back very nicely. There is just a little youthful bitterness at the back and good length.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 92 points: Pale colour but with a very classy nose. Lots of stones here, more apparent than the flesh of the vintage. Same pleasing finish without quintessential grip. Nicely saline. Attractive finish, very nice.

Burghound, 94 points: (92-94 points) Smoky and mildly exotic aromas consist of matchstick, iodine, algae and ripe white and yellow-fleshed fruit. The mouth feel of the middle weight flavors is even finer if perhaps not quite as dense though...

Burghound, 90 points: A whiff of matchstick is present on the elegant array of citrus rind, white flowers and essence of pear. I like the intensity and mouthfeel of the delicious mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that are notably rich...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Hint of wet walnut skin and flint are subtle but distinct on the slightly reduced nose of this wine. The palate immediately poses a thick layer of chalk with airy, salty depth. Fruit almost does not come into it. This...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: Bursting with aromas of pear, almond paste, white flowers and orange oil, the 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Houillères is medium to full-bodied, satiny and open, with a bright core of fruit, succulent acids and a giving...
