2010 White Wine

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: The nose here fascinates in a distinctively Nikolaihof manner. Elusive suggestions of moss and lichen on wet stone, mothball and salt spray, along with herbal and floral essences introduce a palate performance that adds...

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: A white with a phenomenal density and richness with creme brulee, apple pie and pear tart character. It's so agile and balanced. Full body, with tangy fruit and a long finish. Crazy intensity and style to this...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: 93+ Vivid gold. An explosively perfumed bouquet displays scents of candied lime, lemongrass, anise, iodine and ginger. Deeply pitched but energetic, with precise, incisive citrus and orchard fruit flavors that pick up...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: There are 716 cases of the 2010 Ermitage de l’Oree. I have been following this cuvee since its debut vintage and this 100% Marsanne possesses more richness than most Burgundy Montrachets. Although aged in 100% new...

View From The Cellar, 90 points: (90+) The 2010 Puligny villages bottling from Jean-Michel Chartron had already been bottled at the time of my visit and was showing lovely potential. The deep and classy nose is a mélange of apple, pear, lime zest...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 92 points: Light yellow-gold. A complex, deeply perfumed bouquet evokes candied citrus and pit fruits, toasted almond, honey and chamomile. Spicy and savory in character, offering intense, broad poached pear and orange flavors and a...

Wine Spectator, 96 points: Unctuous, concentrated and refined, this holds a large core of quince, creamed Anjou pear and white ginger notes in reserve for now, while heather, chamomile, orange blossom and white peach flavors take the lead. When the...

Vinous, 92 points: (92+) Greenish yellow. Lime and quince on the nose, with dusty mineral and honeysuckle qualities adding complexity. Drier and racier than the 2011, showing impressive definition to its citrus and floral flavors. Finishes...
