Critics Ratings
'This is a ripe, beautifully structured wine. It has acidity and rich yellow and lime fruitiness that are touched by wood and channeled into a wine that is smooth and generous. The acidity keeps this balanced, structured wine on a straight line of pure fruitiness.' - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 90/100 (Oct 2015)
'Bright yellow. Tangy aromas of orange, apricot and honey show good lift. Rather fine-grained and elegant, conveying an attractive light touch. Not particularly long but nicely done, showing good concentration and energy.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (Oct 2015)
'The 2013 Mâcon Chardonnay Clos de la Crochette has a much more complex and defined, mineral-driven bouquet than the previous crus. The palate is brimming over with tension and poise, with an intense citrus finish that is long and persistent, perhaps a touch spicier than the 2012. This is the front-runner for Dominique's best 2013 once bottled - and I cannot wait to taste it then.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 91-93/100 (Oct 2014)
