jebdunnuck.com, 95 points: 95+ I was able to taste two Chardonnays from Failla. The 2018 Chardonnay Estate Vineyard comes from an estate vineyard in the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA and spent 11 months in 10% new French oak. This medium gold-hued 2018 has...
jebdunnuck.com, 95 points: Just as good, the 2018 Chardonnay Platt Vineyard, from a site in the Sonoma Coast, saw a similar élevage, spending 11 months in 15% new French oak. Rocking white peach, white currants, citrus, and floral notes all emerge...
Vinous, 93 points: The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has a very mineral driven bouquet, fresh but sharing some of the Zen-like characteristic that I discerned on the 2019. The palate is taut and fresh with a fine bead of...
jamessuckling.com, 94 points: (93-94 points) Fermented 30% in oak. This is more classic and minerally and offers a blend of lemons and yellow nectarines with a very flinty spark on the nose, too. The white peaches here are stunning, so deliciously...
Burghound, 94 points: (92-94 points) Smoky and mildly exotic aromas consist of matchstick, iodine, algae and ripe white and yellow-fleshed fruit. The mouth feel of the middle weight flavors is even finer if perhaps not quite as dense though...
Vinous, 90 points: The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Charmes has a fragrant bouquet with touches of liquorice lifting the citrus fruit, perhaps less minerality compared to the 2019 that I tasted alongside. The palate is slightly creamy in...
Vinous, 94 points: The 2018 Chardonnay Estate is an absolutely beautiful wine and classic Chardonnay from Goldridge soils. Orchard fruit, lemon confit, flowers and mint all grace this exquisite, wonderfully nuanced Chardonnay from...
Vinous, 90 points: The 2018 Bourgogne Chardonnay, which had been bottled by the time of my visit, has a clean, precise apple blossom and citrus-scented bouquet that shows impressive definition for a generic white Burgundy. The palate is...
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 96 points: (94-96 points) The domaine owns 3 plots, one pulled out in 2016, the other two dating back to 1986 and 1977. The soil gets more clay and darker as you head north into Puligny. Bright crisp fresh, appealing. A great weight...
Burghound, 90 points: A more complex nose is comprised by notes of ripe pear, apple, white flower and a whisper of citrus peel, all of which is trimmed in subtle oak toast. There is fine richness and equally good volume to the attractively...
Burghound, 90 points: This too is presently suffering from post-bottling reduction, but the underlying fruit does seem quite ripe. More interesting are the very rich, indeed almost lush, larger-scaled flavors that manage to be both caressing...
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 97 points: (94-97 points) Just 1.5 barrels from 2 ouvrées, so that is a moderate yield. Tasted from the one year old barrel, ex Bâtard last year. Clear bright colour. The nose is very backward, with none of the luxurious weight of...
