James Halliday, 98 points: 55% machine-picked at night, 45% hand-picked, 64% cultured yeast, 36% wild yeast, fermented in and matured for 11 months in new French oak. It is supremely elegant and finely balanced, and has absorbed the new oak in a...
Wine Enthusiast, 91 points: Fully revealing in brioche and preserved lemon, this wine shows a boldness of oak and body alongside an exuberance of ripe, tropical fruit that's lengthy and complex. This is classically Napa Valley in its luxuriousness...
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...
Wine Enthusiast, 91 points: A fresh-baked bread aroma and flavors like butter and baking spices make this full-bodied wine very attractive. It has ample acidity to balance the rich texture, and a lingering finish that completes the classic profile.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2013 Chardonnay Clare comes 100% from the Hyde Vineyard and represents a 22-year-old Wente clone of Chardonnay. This wine displays more buttery brioche notes, hints of tangerine oil and lemon blossom, a subtle...
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...
View From The Cellar, 92 points: 92+ The Folatières bottling from the Drouhin family has always been one of their consistently excellent wines, and the 2013 is another fine success. The wine offers up lovely shape and refinement on both the nose and...
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...
Burghound, 92 points: (BH89-92 points) A hint of sulfur does not materially detract from the ripe and fresh nose that is comprised by notes of apple, acacia blossom and pear scents. There is a lovely underlying tension to the well-detailed and...
Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: From vines on the sunny side of the vineyard, this wine is richly textured and structured, full of generous yellow and white fruits, spice and layers of wood aging. It has a honeyed character, typical of 2013, with a...
jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Aromas of white peaches, lemons and gunpowder. Full body, very tight and focused. Its broad palate closes to a tight fruit finish. Fantastic wine.
Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 94 points: (ST92-94 points) (13.2% natural alcohol, the highest of these 2013s): Bright green-tinged yellow. Sexy high-pitched perfume of lemon zest, minerals, spearmint and lavender. Very rich and tactile but bracing too, offering...
Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: This is the coolest and freshest of the Grand Cru vineyards. The wine is tight, steely with a nervy core of acidity that gives it a textured, structured character. It is full of energy, crisp, packed with apples and...
Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 93 points: (ST91-93 points) Pale, bright yellow. Aromas of lime, mint and minerals, lifted by a topnote of white flowers. Sweeter and more open-knit than the Charmes but still with excellent acidity and firm underlying structure...
