Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Light to medium gold with a greenish hue, this wine exhibits wonderfully pure notes of wood spice such as vanillin, honeyed citrus, a hint of under-ripe peach, and touches of creme brulee and marmalade. With great acidity and finesse, this is a medium-bodied, impressively endowed, but generally..

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
"A textbook example in how to make a Chardonnay that’s ripely fruity and oaky, yet maintains impeccable balance. The orange, apricot, green apple and lime flavors hit the jackpot, while brisk acidity and minerality provide equilibrium. Possesses that rare quality of elegance."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Pretty nose of white flower, pear and stone. There is excellent detail and verve to the finely delineated and pure medium-bodied flavors that possess good depth on the reasonably dry and solidly persistent finish."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The Sigalas-Rabaud has a well defined nose: grapefruit, nectarine, honey and lime, much more primal than some of the other 2009s.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"An exceptionally fresh and elegant nose displays dried flowers, citrus and a hint of wet stone before sliding gracefully into detailed, racy and highly energetic flavors that offers the same minerality as suggested by the nose on the dry and moderately austere finish. An understated and..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"In contrast to many of the foregoing wines, there is almost no overt wood influence to the acacia blossom, apple and pear infused nose. There is fine intensity and excellent detail to the lightly mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that possess a really lovely sense of harmony on the long..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"... mineral-inflected lemon peel, menthol and spiced pear aromas…good richness but also fi ne detail to the rich, full and delicious middle weight flavor... mouth coating and balanced finish. This is pretty and complex."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A very subtle touch of wood frames very fresh and again, admirably pure aromas of acacia blossom, spiced pear and green apple nuances. There is good volume and mid-palate density to the generous, sappy and seductively textured middle weight flavors that offer fine complexity on the mildly austere..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This isn’t a long-term ager, but do give it about a year in the bottle to let all of its parts meld together. Right now, it’s tight and oaky. It features intense, bright pineapple, green apple and orange flavors, with sweet barrel influences and a tenuous streak of acidity."
