Chardonnay from France

Decanter, 94 points: Yields were comparatively high at 60hl/ha, but there's no lack of concentration or focus here on this premier cru bottling from the northwestern corner of Chassagne. Floral, fresh and focussed, it's a precise, sappy...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Vergers is lovely, wafting from the glass with notes of apple, white flowers, pear and subtle hazelnut cream. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and elegant...

Vinous, 92 points: (90-92) The 2017 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru comes from 3.6-hectares located mainly in the heart of the valley. It offers light pressed flower scents on the nose with hints of nettle and dandelion. The palate is well...

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...

Burghound, 92 points: (90-92) A softly perfumed nose plays right on the edge of exotic fruit on the otherwise more typical notes of acacia blossom, apple and peach aromas that are trimmed in just enough pain grillé to notice. The intensely...

Wine Spectator, 91 points: This is rich and buttery, evoking peach, honey, spice and mineral aromas and flavors. Delivers nice complexity and a long, citrus-, stone- and spice-filled finish. Drink now through 2023. 200 cases imported.–BS
