2011 White Wine

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: A pure and minerally wine with dense body and bright acidity. It also shows a gun powder and flint character. Long and powerful. Property owned by Michel Chapoutier. Drink.

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: (AG92-94 points) Things get much more serious with the 2011 Meursault Les Charmes, which is a huge step up from the preceding wines in this lineup of Meursaults. It boasts stunning richness, density and minerality, all...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2011 Pouilly-Fuisse Terroir de Vergisson is a blend of three plots: La Roche (60%), Les Cres (15%) and Les Crux (around 30-35%). It has an exquisite bouquet with superb delineation: white peach, nectarine and a touch...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Rated, but no tasting note given. Although these wines are normally reviewed by my colleagues David Schildknect in his Languedoc-Roussillon and Alsace reports and Lisa Perrotti-Brown in her reviews of Australian wines, I...

Wine Spectator, 91 points: Lime, citronella, pear and mineral aromas and flavors are wrapped in a creamy texture. Vibrant acidity drives the flavors to a long conclusion. Best from 2015 through 2023. 574 cases imported. –BS

View From The Cellar, 93 points: 93+ The 2011 la Romanée is a bit more closed than the Caillerets out of the blocks, but it too shows outstanding potential. The fairly primary bouquet is a classic blend of apple, pear, lime zest, beautifully complex...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 92 points: The 2011 Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseigneres is one of the more honeyed, viscous wines in the range. All the elements meld together in a textured wine that stands out for its exuberance, balance and class. As good as the...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Abbatucci’s 2011 Cuvee Collection: General de la Revolution Jean-Charles Abbatucci – for more on whose vinification and roster of ancient cepages, consult my review of the 2010 in issue 205 – is very nearly as exciting as...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2011 Macon-La Roche Vineuse Les Cras derives from the oldest vines in the climat on highly active Bathonian limestone soil. It still has a very fragrant, floral bouquet with pure peach and apricot scents that have...

jamessuckling.com, 91 points: A dense and creamy white showing lots of apple pie cream and honey. Full body with masses of new wood but I like the character. Dried pineapple and apple too. Vanilla aftertaste. Drink now or hold.

Burghound, 93 points: There is enough reduction present to knock down the nose but it clearly appears to be ripe. There is more volume and power to the medium weight plus flavors that enjoy impressive mid-palate concentration as well as plenty...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 96 points: (ST93-96 points) Distinctly cooler on the nose than the "regular" Corton-Charlemagne: lime, crushed rock and white flowers, with a hint of the chicken broth quality shown by the classic bottling. Tighter in texture and...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 92 points: Bright lemon-yellow. A lemon aroma is nicely lifted by stone. The sweetest wine yet in this range but with lively lemony acidity giving cut to the middle palate. The subtly persistent rising finish really dusts the...
