RATINGS

96James Suckling

Exuberant and joyful, this white Beaune is brimming with pineapple, pear, honeysuckle and vanilla... Stunning mineral acidity that turns the finish into a firework display of fruit and terroir colors.

92-94The Wine Advocate

Mingling aromas of citrus zest and pear with hints of white flowers, buttered toast and almonds...medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with lively acids and a gourmand profile, concluding with a saline finish.

91-93Vinous / IWC

...intense nose, slightly Alsace-like in style thanks to a hint of linseed oil intermingling with yellow plum and orange blossom. The palate is well balanced with a tensile opening. Lovely orange pith and nectarine notes here. Not a voluminous wine, but very focused on the finish. Excellent.

16.5+ Jancis Robinson

Good stony freshness on the nose. Green hedgerow top notes and real attack with excellent crisp undertow.
