Chardonnay Wine

Wine Enthusiast, 92 points: Crushed orange peels, plump lemon blossoms, spun sugar, clarified butter and a slight almond oil touch combine for a lush, layered nose on this bottling from the Carmel Valley producer. The palate presents an expert...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: Open and aromatic with honeysuckle flowers, dried apples and mangoes, as well as white peaches and stone. Full-bodied, this grows slowly on the palate with an intense, powerful finish. Lots of cream, cooked apples, lemons...

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.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 97 points: (94-97 points) Gorgeous deep fresh yellow, picked on 28th August, 13.85% already, it was time to do it! Very high-class nose, full of complex options. Benjamin didn’t like the new wood component so quickly took it out...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: (95+ points) Revisited in bottle, Bouchard's 2018 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte Grand Cru has turned out beautifully, mingling aromas of crisp green orchard fruit, fresh peach, citrus oil, honeycomb and buttered...

Burghound, 93 points: (91-93 points_) A whiff of wood toast is present on the pretty mix of acacia, green apple and essence of pear-scented nose. The medium weight plus flavors are both dense and intense with fine minerality and evident power...

Decanter, 95 points: Etienne de Montille sources his Corton-Charlemagne from a single parcel in the Les Pougets climat in Aloxe-Corton, which was replanted with white grapes in 2006, switching from Pinot Noir. Fermented in one-third new wood...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (90 - 92 points) An elegant, understated wine, the 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Folatières offers up notes of ripe Meyer lemon, citrus blossom and almond paste that are delicately framed by new oak. On the palate, it's...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 95 points: (92-95 points) Pale primrose with some fruit weight. Then a quiet start followed by some smoky bacon, like ripe riesling. Clearly more depth to this and with the expected follow through.

Wine Spectator, 90 points: There are appealing earth and stone accents to the apple and lemon fruit here. It's rich, fluid and open, yet balanced, satisfying and lingers nicely. Drink now. 1,500 cases made. — BS

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 94 points: (92-94 points) This is complex with a lees-infused feel to it, beautifully interwoven. Lively fruit bright and a fine sense of tension, with a little bit of contrasting orange blossom and greengage fruit. An interesting...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: The tangy acidity is puckering in this lean and racy version, delivering lemon and stone flavors, with accents of vanilla and toasted brioche. Balanced in a lithe way and long on the finish. Best from 2021 through 2032...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 92 points: This excellent hillside vineyard suffered only a small shortfall. A little touch more colour here, not much nose showing. Much more intensity, and also persistence, white fruit throughout abetted by lemon notes. Fine long...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: 23 Jul, 2021 – Exuberant and joyful, this white Beaune is brimming with pineapple, pear, honeysuckle and vanilla. Ripe and concentrated, but not a jot too big. Stunning mineral acidity that turns the finish into a...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 98 points: (96-98 points) Not racked. Glowing pale yellow. There is an enormous weight of fruit on the nose, but beautifully balanced at 13.8% alcohol. Absolutely sensual in fruit style with a spicy weight behind, a very long...

Burghound, 92 points: Smoky, cool and elegant aromas are composed primarily of various white orchard fruit, acacia blossom, citrus rind, wood and a hint of exotic tea. The racy, intense and admirably concentrated flavors possess very good...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 93 points: (90-93 points) Clear pale colour, attractive. The nose is understated. Nose has some baked apple might need freshening. Weighty on the palate with a chiselled freshness at the back. A bit unsettled at the moment but a...

View From The Cellar, 90 points: 90+ The 2018 Mâcon-Milly-Lamartine from Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon is nicely ripe this year, particularly for this particular bottling, but it retains its customary limestone undertow of soil. The bouquet offers up a...

Vinous, 92 points: (90-92 points) Pale, bright yellow. Inviting aromas of peach, flowers and noble Puligny herbs, accented by spicy high notes. Sweet, slightly fat and easygoing in the mouth, showing noteworthy depth and richness to its...

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.

Burghound, 93 points: (91-93 points) The nose was dominated by sulfur at the time of my tasting but even so it was possible to sense the ripeness of the underlying fruit together with pronounced floral elements. The attractively sculpted and...

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...
