Wine Enthusiast, 97 points: Made by winemaker Braiden Albrecht and consulting winemaker Andy Erickson, this beautifully layered and complex white is impressive in its scope and its profound, profuse flavors of peach, pineapple and pear. The fruit...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: (93+points) The 2006 Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Léchet is a superb example of the vintage, offering up aromas of citrus oil, beeswax and oyster shell complemented by subtle hints of clear honey. Medium to full-bodied, satiny...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: A full-bodied white with complex aromas of hawthorn, ripe peach, apricot, mango, lime, flint, toast and some smoke. Layered, concentrated and persistent with bright acidity and a firm, phenolic texture. Hint of vanilla...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Expressive and complex, featuring an explosion of marmalade, candied lemon peel, peach custard and grilled grapefruit flavors. The smooth, succulent body is highlighted by spice and floral accents, with a juicy core of...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: An incredible showcase for the appellation, this combines grapes from the producer's estate Westside Farms with Dutton, Woolsey Road and Rochioli Allen, among others. Together it is broadly floral, earthy and richly...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: This is another rock-star chardonnay from here with dried-apple, pear-skin, crushed-stone and peach-pit character. Full body. Creamy texture. Phenolic form and a long, flavorful finish. Drink or hold.

Decanter, 95 points: Enticing candied citrus fruit and spice with an exquisite mineral undertone; super clean and tense with a sumptuous texture and a long, harmonious finish.

jebdunnuck.com, 95 points: The base Condrieu from Guigal always delivers and the 2019 Condrieu is stunning stuff, giving up a beautiful bouquet of ripe nectarines, orange blossom, honeysuckle, and exotic flowers. Just classic Condrieu in every way...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (90 - 92 points) One of the highlights of the range is the 2018 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly, a lovely wine that offers up aromas of pear, waxy citrus rind, white flowers and crushed chalk. On the palate, it's medium to...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: A dense, layered white with tannin tension in the palate, which gives it definition and texture. Plenty of subtle lemon, stone and salty undertones. It’s full and racy with uniqueness that makes it really attractive...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: Fragrant and delicious, this opens with heady aromas of white spring flower, citrus and tropical fruit. Vibrant and tangy, the savory palate doles out juicy grapefruit, white peach and lemon drop before a saline mineral...

Wine Enthusiast, 93 points: Tightly woven aromas of lime pith, acacia and crushed chalk make for an enticing nose in this single-block expression. There's a great sizzle on the sip, where vibrant flavors of yuzu, sea salt and lemon juice meet with...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: Beautiful aromas of lime curd, dried pear, grilled white peach and flint on the nose. So exotic on the nose. Some cream and honey, too. It’s medium-bodied with bright, tangy acidity. Creamy and focused with lingering...

jebdunnuck.com, 94 points: Showing beautifully, the 2015 Chardonnay offers a touch of maturity in its caramelized peach, pineapple, flora, and toasted bread-like aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied and beautifully textured on the palate, it has...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: The second vintage from this site, the Martinelli family's Charles Ranch, this white shows salt and mineral characteristics from the start. Floral, earthy and herbal, it has a light touch of richness to the apple and pear...

Wine Enthusiast, 96 points: A tightly coiled rich wine that has great acidity as well as a lively structure. Touched by spice from wood aging as well as intense citrus, it is fruity, firm and strongly textured. Drink this impressive still-young wine...

Vinous, 91 points: A round, mouth-filling, textured 2018 Blanc etc. offers almond croissant, sweet apple and nectarine flavors. Full in body, the 2018 presents a sense of weight, fine texture, a line of delightful acidity and a lengthy...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Notes of yeast, chalk, ripe Amalfi lemon peel and white summer blossom unite into a seductive, creamy nose on this wine. Toasty, oaky smoke also hovers but is beautifully subdued. The palate also encompasses these notions...

Vinous, 96 points: The 2019 Chardonnay Trout Gulch is fabulous. Palpable energy and tension drive a core of crushed rocks, lemon confit, mint and white flowers. Intensely saline, tense notes really bristle in this magnificent Santa Cruz...

jebdunnuck.com, 100 points: The richest and most fruit loaded of the trio is the 2019 Ermitage Le Méal Blanc, which comes from a warmer terroir. This killer Hermitage Blanc has a vivid gold hue as well as a crazy good nose of quince, honeyed...

Vinous, 94 points: (92-94 points) Tasted from tank just prior to bottling, the 2017 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru shows why this vintage is so compelling. Apricot, peach and tropical fruit give the 2017 a decidedly exotic flair, and yet bright...

jebdunnuck.com, 99 points: The 2018 Chardonnay Ma Douce (which is named after winemaker Luc Morlet's wife) shows a more racy, focused style compared to the Coup de Coeur and has gorgeous notes of caramelized lemon, orange blossom, white flowers...
