Critics Ratings

‘Lemon cake, citrus blossom, citronella and mineral notes abound in this version, with vibrant structure for support. Though sleek and linear in profile, this is complex and long, featuring an aftertaste that echoes the core flavors. Best from 2016 through 2024.’ – Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 94/100 (Aug 2014)

‘The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Vergers 2011 has a refined bouquet with light honeysuckle and jasmine scents that unfold with time. The palate is crisp and fresh, quite compact at the moment with crisp citrus fruit, but it cuts away a little abruptly on the finish. Not bad, but it seems a little clipped.’ – Neal Martin, Wine Advocate (Nov 2014)

‘Bright yellow. Reticent nose dominated by crushed stone and menthol. Tightly wound but already quite nuanced, showing excellent acid/mineral cut to its flavors of lemon, hay and fresh herbs. Finishes juicy and long, with suggestions of orchard fruits. An excellent showing today, but there's more to come.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 92+/100 (Sep 2013)
