Chardonnay Wine

Decanter, 94 points: Tighter and better balanced than the Drouhins' Les Embazées premier cru in 2017, this is entirely sourced from the prestigious Laguiche holdings. It has a beautifully judged combination of leesy texture, aromatic spices...

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

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: This wine's Honeycrisp apple and Applejacks cereal scents lead the nose before bold layers of luxurious texture confirm its complexity and overall appeal on the palate. Densely packed with flavor, it also shows plenty of...

Vinous, 92 points: Just bottled, the 2015 Chardonnay is shaping up to be a gorgeous wine. The warmer vintage has resulted in a slightly richer style of Chardonnay, although the house style built on energy and tension is still very much in...

Vinous, 93 points: Pale yellow-green. Wonderfully complex perfume of lime and orange zest and minerals. Then silky and voluptuous in the mouth, a distinct step up in texture and fat from the Mont de Milieu. But this very pure wine is nicely...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Very attractive wet stones and a wealth of hazelnuts and ripe, fresh and expressive lemons and white peaches. The palate has beautifully complete, fleshy texture, really seamless and underpinned by stony, powerful...

Decanter, 95 points: There aren't many vineyards in Beaune that make world-class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, but the Clos des Mouches is definitely one of them. This effortlessly stylish white from chalky soils on the southern side of Beaune...

Decanter, 90 points: The Meursault Santenots is extrovert and expressive this year, with a bouquet of white flowers, peach and grapefruit. It leaves a full-bodied, pure palate impression that displays rather gourmand amplitude before...

Wine Spectator, 92 points: This white is lush, exuding peach, lemon, apple tart and baking spice aromas and flavors. Well-proportioned, if in need of some time to integrate more fully, with a long, complex aftertaste combining fruit, mineral and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2012 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudesir has a crisp and precise, granitic nose that blossoms with aeration. The palate is very well-focused with good depth, hints of orange peel, tangerine and a dash of ginger livening up the...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: From vines dating back to 1925 and 1930, the intensely aromatic 2002 Montrachet bursts from the glass with resiny minerals, poached pears, and spices. This is a wine of great richness, breadth, and length. Its deep...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The Leflaive 2015 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is a superb achievement in the 2015 vintage, wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of white peach, fresh bread, pear, preserved citrus, beeswax and crisp yellow...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: From a rather young vineyard (less than ten years old) planted with nothing but Chardonnay, the NV Brut Nature Blanc d'Argile—here, the "R14," which is entirely based on the 2014 harvest—is an intensely citrus colored...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: A very impressive array of peaches and lemons with wet stones and flinty, minerally notes, offering plenty of interest. The palate has a sleek and composed shape with a central focus of fresh, fleshy fruit and a...
