Chardonnay from France

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: Very sexy aromas of apple, wild herbs, spices and soil. Boasts outstanding breadth and sweetness, with lovely savory complexity to the flavors of medicinal herbs, citrus fruits and powdered stone. Really superb tension in...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: A hint of licorice and green olive flits around the core of peach, melon and vanilla. Concentrated and well-proportioned, with a lingering aftertaste of lemon, mineral and spice. Best from 2017 through 2025. 100 cases...

Wine Enthusiast, 97 points: This is a beautiful wine with elegant fruits that reflect a strong sense of minerality. It is crisp, although that is just a surface quality to a wine that has such depth. Toast flavors round out the intense fruits...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: (WA91-93 points) The 2012 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot -Clos de la Chapelle- comes from the 2-hectare monopole that produced around 24 barrels. It has a lovely, sensual nose with apricots and cream emerging from...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: This is laced with peach, lemon and spice flavors, all accented by toasty vanilla and pastry notes. Vibrant acidity keeps this fresh and long on the finish. Drink now through 2020. 298 cases imported. –BS

Burghound, 90 points: An attractively layered nose is composed mostly of ripe fruit compote, citrus zest and lavender nuances. There is an equally attractive mouth feel to the delicious, precise and energetic medium weight flavors that possess...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: The potential here is enormous. This is a great wine, powerful and densely textured, at this stage packed with a steely character, but just waiting to unleash its beautifully defined fruit, to break out of the tight...

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...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 90 points: Pale, bright yellow. Pungent aroma of white peach, spring flowers, lavender and nutmeg. The suave palate offers a deep core of stone fruit flavors nicely framed by well-integrated acidity. Very smooth and suave wine, with...

Burghound, 93 points: As elegant as the Goutte d'Or is, the Bouchères goes it one better with its mélange of white peach, spiced pear and dried rose petal aromas that slide gracefully into precise yet quite densely textured flavors that brim...

View From The Cellar, 94 points: 94+ Happily, the 2013 Corton-Charlemagne was still open after its mise and was showing very well indeed at the time of my visit, offering up a deep and very esthery nose of apple, pear, bee pollen, a potpourri of spring...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 93 points: (ST91-93 points) Bright, pale yellow. Inviting aromas of mirabelle, honey and clove. Sweet, plump, round and concentrated, with yellow fruit and honey flavors lifted on the back by white flowers. Broad, mouthcoating...
