Critics Ratings

‘Straddling richness and beautiful liveliness, this is going to be an impressive wine. It does need aging. At this stage, the wood is a big element, but then the bright white fruits - pears, white currants along with tangerines - will move center stage. Keep at least six years, almost certainly more.’ - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 95/100 (Jul 2010)

‘A dramatic and alluring display of floral perfume rises from the glass of Bouchard 2007 Chevalier-Montrachet, suggesting iris, hibiscus, lemon blossom, and lavender. These segue into lemon oil, white peach, and Persian melon on the palate, tinged with salt and chalk and leading to a buoyant finish of lip-smacking savor, ravishing floral persistence, and hypnotic subtlety. This should be capable of inducing a rapturous trance over the coming decade, and hopefully for longer.’ - David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, 95/100 (Dec 2009)

‘Both complex and fragrant – citrus freshness with nutty and spiced sweetness starting to show. Dry, fine, restrained. More elegance than power. Gentle chalky minerality on the finish.’ - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (May 2009)
