Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A restrained to the point of almost being mute nose reluctantly offers notes of green fruit and mineral reduction that precede broad-shouldered, robust and imposingly concentrated flavors that possess plenty of palate coating dry extract, all wrapped in a terrifically long, intense and deep..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A very fresh, clean and pure nose of ripe pear, white peach and floral aromas introduces rich, delicious and solidly well-concentrated flavors that culminate in a racy, detailed and lightly mineral-inflected finish. I very much like the underlying sense of tension here as well as the fine balance...

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A tight, racy style, showing citronella, green apple and floral notes, with plenty of energy. Ends with a mouthwatering impression and an aftertaste of mineral."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A ripe, fresh and impressively layered nose speaks of both white and yellow orchard fruit that complements well the rich, generous and lightly mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that possess enough dry extract such that the palate impression is sappy yet firm and lingering."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Once again, the 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet is beautiful. It captures the more refined side of the village in its subtle layers of perfumed, gracious fruit. This is a gorgeous wine at the village level, and one of the very finest relative values in white Burgundy. White floral notes wrap around the..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This non-vintage Brut Blanc de Noirs (100% Pinot Noir), which has a disgorgement date of October 2002, is a light to medium-bodied Champagne that spent four years on its lees. very perfumed, offering tiny pinpoint, persistent bubbles, loads of fruit on the attack, and good mineral/chalky flavors..
