Chardonnay Wine

Vinous, 95 points: The 2016 Chardonnay is fabulous. A vivid, textured wine, the 2016 possesses remarkable finesse and intensity in all of its dimensions. Lemon oil and white flowers are amped up by the natural intensity of these old vines...

jebdunnuck.com, 98 points: Starting with the Chardonnay, the 2016 Chardonnay Wayfarer Vineyard is an extraordinary effort as well as world-class. Offering an ultra-pure bouquet of white flowers, tangerine, crushed citrus, and hints of brioche and...

jebdunnuck.com, 96 points: My favorite in the lineup is the 2016 Chardonnay Green Acres Vineyard, which comes all from the Old Wente clone of Chardonnay and was aged in 40% new barrels. Thrilling notes of stone fruits, tangerines, white flowers...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: A really stylish white with white stones, dried apricots, white blossoms, lemon curd, jasmine and caramelized citrus peel. Medium to full body, some really nice phenolic texture, very zesty acidity and an pinpoint finish...

Vinous, 94 points: The 2014 Chardonnay Old Guard is the most relaxed and open of these wines. Orchard fruit and sweet floral notes are front and center, but it is the wine's crystalline purity and overall finesse that stand out most. In...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: From blocks of old Wente vines planted in the 1970s, this producer and site continue to find beautiful synergy together. This wine shows high-toned floral notes around full-bodied richness and flavors of crème brûlée and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The voluminous yet weightless 2016 Hunting Hill Chardonnay continues this bottling's successful run of vintages. Hints of roasted cashew accent tropical fruit, but thanks to a zesty line of citrusy acids, the wine powers...

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...

jebdunnuck.com, 96 points: Tasted out of bottle, the classic 2016 Chardonnay was barrel fermented and aged all in new oak. It offers a killer bouquet of caramelized orchard fruits, hints of pineapple, spice, brioche and white flowers. Possessing...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: (91-94 points) The 2015 season resulted in tiny clusters and small berries with production levels off by a minimum of 25%. The following 2015s will be bottled unfined and unfiltered. The 2015 Chardonnay Cahill Lane is...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2015 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard shows the fatness and succulence this vintage seems to have produced routinely at top terroirs. Terrific honeysuckle, pineapple, peach and caramelized citrus are all present in this...

Decanter, 91 points: This is one of the most attractive Chablis wines on the market. The Tête d’Or comes from selected parcels advantageously sited near to premier and grand cru sites, given just a whisper of oak. Fresh, light and flowery...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: (90+) Crisp and luminous, the 2016 Langhe Rossj-Bass is Chardonnay enhanced with a tiny part Sauvignon Blanc. This second grape only constitutes 5% of the blend, yet its presence is felt in a big way. The wine presents...
