Chardonnay from France

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...

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.

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...

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, 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...

Decanter, 97 points: This comes from two parcels, facing east and south-west, respectively, making a very tidy 2.5ha in total. Showing the delicate touch of one of the very best winemakers in Chablis, this is a saline, focused, wonderfully...

Vinous, 94 points: (92-94 points) The 2018 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru comes from 2.6 hectares of vine over two parcels. It has a vivacious lemon zest and orange blossom bouquet that shows a subtle influence from the lees. The palate...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: The gentle nose on this wine combines the slight flintiness of reduction with ethereal dried yarrow. The palate is multi-dimensional with yeast, lemon, chalk and saltiness. Subtle texture and scented freshness are...

Vinous, 93 points: (91-93 points) The 2017 Chablis Vaillons Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru is pretty, gracious and lifted, with a real sense of vertical expansiveness. In this vintage, the Vieilles Vignes is wonderfully lifted in feel. Sweet...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: What a beautiful white with many fine, intertwined layers of fruit and acidity, delivering such a serious and subtle glass. It’s medium-to full-bodied with creamy texture and a flavorful finish. Really intriguing and...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Cooling, mossy chalkiness plays on this wine's nose, despite the heat of 2018. The palate then displays juicy roundness in the form of ripe, yellow pear pervading chalky depth. Rich lemon-peel notes create contour and add...

Vinous, 94 points: (92-94 points) The 2017 Chablis Les Sechets 1er Cru is gorgeous. Apricot, hazelnut, crushed flowers and herbs give the Sechets a savory character that is beguiling and undeniably attractive. Light on its feet, perfumed...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: Subtle smoke wraps itself around light notions of ripe Mirabelle on this wine's nose. Gentleness also defines the palate where well-captured ripeness is met with smoothest texture and a little smokiness, all illuminated...

Decanter, 95 points: The most subtle lemony cloud hovers above a certain chalkiness on the nose. Utter subtlety also characterises the super-svelte palate that is as light as a feather, yet conveys great depth and creamy softness. The...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Subtle and aromatic with hints of tropical fruit and citrus, as well as minerals. Medium-bodied with layers of pretty fruit and an almond and honey aftertaste. Drink or hold.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 95 points: (93-95 points) Pale yellow. The nose has considerable weight, a little flesh but also some class. Some peaches too. This overt opulence however gives way to a more classic thread behind. There is a saline touch, which...

Decanter, 95 points: The pick of Domaine de Montille's impressive range of white Premiers Crus in 2018, this is a stylish rendition of what many people consider Meursault's best terroir. Pear, apple and citrus fruit flavours are embellished...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: This white is elegant and lacy, featuring lime blossom, acacia and hazelnut accents, surrounding white peach and melon fruit. Harmonious and vibrant, builds to a long, citrus and spice-infused aftertaste. Drink now...

Burghound, 91 points: (89-91 points) Ripe aromas are comprised mostly by notes of poached pear, petrol and rosemary oil. There is once again good punch and detail if only average density to the delicious and relatively refined flavors that...

Decanter, 95 points: Les Vergers is located on the northern side of Chassagne-Montrachet close to the large limestone quarry. The domaine's 1ha holding has produced a stunning Premier Cru in 2018 which combines richness and palate weight with...

Burghound, 93 points: (90-93 points) Once again the expressive nose is decidedly floral with prettier and more layered aromas of exotic tea, spice and plenty of citrus influences. The racy, intense and overtly stony medium weight flavors also...

Vinous, 94 points: (92-94 points) The 2017 Saint-Aubin Le Charmois 1er Cru matures in 20% new oak, has a slightly more introspective but quite compelling bouquet with dried honey, hazelnut and light oyster shell aromas that just need some...

Vinous, 93 points: The 2015 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru has a backward but refined bouquet of apple blossom and light limestone aromas, creating an impression that is both elegant and understated. The palate is well balanced, with a fine bead...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 97 points: (93-97 points) Lovely pale lemon with a faint green tint. Delicately smoky, nuanced refined. It isn’t just a question of the weight, with superbly interleaved mineral acidity. Brilliant intensity to finish.

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: Subtle pear, hazelnut and lemon shimmer on this wine's shy nose. The palate brings in roundness and ripeness, think luscious Mirabelle with a touch of honey. Juicy and ripe lemon pervades all with its freshness while a...
