2015 Chardonnay Wine

Decanter, 96 points: Potent primary fruit, perfume and poise are the hallmarks of this long-lived classic – though thanks to earlier picking, less new oak and no malolactic, it has become sleeker. The expressive 2015 shows layers of heady...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: This divine and complex white delivers tones of almond paste, sea salt, lime and tangerine that are balanced by fresh, vibrant acidity. This is a well-balanced, food-friendly wine that impresses from start to long finish.

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...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: Plush and creamy, boasting peach, honey, oak spice and mineral flavors. A crowd-pleaser, with terrific balance and a long, citrus-infused aftertaste. Drink now through 2027. – BS

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: This wine's Honeycrisp apple and Applejacks cereal scents lead the nose before bold layers of luxurious texture confirm its complexity and overall appeal on the palate. Densely packed with flavor, it also shows plenty of...

Burghound, 91 points: This is aromatically even more complex if perhaps a bit less elegant with its pure if mildly exotic array of citrus, iodine, tidal pool, white peach and apple aromas. There is excellent punch to the full-bodied and...

Wine & Spirits, 96 points: Alain Chavy’s cellar is unusually deep for Puligny, 18 feet underground, providing a cold delay to the start of malolactic fermentation, lengthening the slow evolution of this wine in 228-liter barrels and 400-liter...

Burghound, 91 points: (88-91) A background touch of wood frames the equally fresh and slightly riper aromas of pear, apple and acacia blossom. There is slightly better complexity to the rich, round and very generously proportioned flavors that...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Dried apricots, mangoes, vanilla, cream, butter, dust and peach stones. Medium to full body with fresh acidity, an oily palate and a butterscotch, deliciously oxidative finish. The ripe fruit is all there, but this has...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Complex aromas of almond, dried apple, and pie crust follow through to a full body, layered fruit and a rich finish. Shows intensity and power. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator, 90 points: Centered on a rich core of spicy baked apple, with light oak, hints of wildflower and subtle herb shadings. The flavors linger pleasantly on the aftertaste. Drink now through 2020. 450 cases made -JL

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Superb richness of fruit with quite an exotic character of peaches and mangoes on the nose and palate. It delivered brightly-cut acidity that really sizzles on the finish. Beautiful richness and freshness here. Drink now...

Vinous, 92 points: Pale yellow color. Pungent, strict nose dominated by crushed-rock minerality. Then almost surprisingly silky and fine-grained, but with superb energy and lift to its tangy soft citrus and powdered stone flavors. Finishes...

Vinous, 92 points: Just bottled, the 2015 Chardonnay is shaping up to be a gorgeous wine. The warmer vintage has resulted in a slightly richer style of Chardonnay, although the house style built on energy and tension is still very much in...
