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...

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...

Burghound, 90 points: A ripe, fresh and very pure nose of classic Chablis character that includes green fruit, saline and oyster shell scents that complement well the round, rich and solidly voluminous medium-bodied flavors that possess a...

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...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: This is gorgeous, with a light toasty coconut and brioche frame to the lush, creamed Cavaillon melon, makrut lime, chartreuse, clementine and macadamia nut notes which all glide seamlessly through the long finish, which...

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...

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...
