Critics reviews

Allen Meadows 91-93/100
A ripe and softly exotic yet cool nose exhibits notes of dried white and yellow orchard fruit, especially apricot and passion fruit. There is an incredible intensity to the notably finer and more mineral-driven medium-bodied flavours that possess better depth and are better balanced on the more firmly structured finale. This is excellent, but patience is strongly advised.Drink from 2027 onwardallen_meadows, burghound_com.com (June 2019)

A good holding, with vines averaging 45 to 50 years old. Light primrose, a little whiff of sulphur, but a feeling of excellent fruit density. This really kicks on behind, multi-layered, with very good flesh on the bones but still fresh, lively and mineral. Strict but wants to be generous.Jasper Morris MW, InsideBurgundy.com (October 2018)

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or. Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
