Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The Coutet 2009 is a sensational effort from Philippe Baly and his team. It has a fragrant nose of honey, vervain tea, pineapple, frangipane and apple-blossom, well defined if needing a little more vigour at the moment. The palate is vibrant on the entry, informed by touches of apricot and orange..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Beautiful aromas of orange zest are followed by gingerbread, caramel and crème brûlée flavors. This is a beautiful, rich, smoothly dense wine with a core of botrytis, spice and vivid fresh citrus acidity."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Elegant acacia blossom, lemon zest, stone and pain grille suffused nose... excellent intensity... lovely depth on the mouth coating and impressively persistent finish... a wine of class and grace."

"The 2010 Meursault Genevrieres bristles on the palate with intense minerality. It is the most intensely saline, taut Meursault in this lineup, and accordingly needs time in bottle to settle down.

It also displays grapefruit on the attack and..

JS: "This is very concentrated with dried pineapple, honey and caramel. Full-bodied and superdense. Like honey. Massive. This is fantastic. From the former head and part owner of Yquem."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Bold, direct and voluptuous. Nectarines, honey, flowers and spices all wrap around the palate in this big generous Charmes. A vein of minerality runs through the fruit, giving the wine its sense of energy and proportion. In 2010, the Charmes is especially rich, layered and unctuous." WA

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"An elegant, pure and airy nose features cool aromas of white peach, pear, stone and floral elements. There is excellent intensity and punch to the mineral-driven medium weight flavors that possess plenty of mouth coating sap on the bone dry and citrus infused finish. This is terrific."
