Critics Ratings
‘Floral, juicy fruit with more pith and breadth than their Les Lys. Finishes with a slaty bite.’ - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Jan 2016)
‘This is aromatically more restrained than the Les Lys as it presently only grudgingly reveals shy scents of iodine, mineral reduction, grapefruit and discreet floral nuances. There is both good volume and punch to the delicious and intensely stony middle weight flavors that possess fine depth and even better length on the notably dry finale. This will need a few years to flesh out but there is excellent potential.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound, 92/100 (Oct 2015)
‘The 2014 Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Léchet has a reserved, stony nose with hints of nectarine and even buttered toast, though subtle enough to allow the mineralité to shine through. The palate is fresh and poised with a shard of bitter lemon on the penetrating entry. I like the energy and tension here, with impressive precision on the finish. This is a well-crafted Côte de Léchet that should drink well for 6 to 8 years.’ - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 90/100
