Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Enthusiast (95): Creaminess in the texture and deftly layered flavors give this extraordinary wine an almost irresistible attraction. So light but so rich at the same time, the wine offers vanilla, butter, poached pears and hints of caramel and toast, while the finish is delicious and lingering. Great for a special occasion.

Wine Enthusiast (94): With a touch of reduction, this impressive white opens slowly to unveil bright, citrus-driven layers of crushed rock, tangerine, green-apple and grapefruit flavors. Entirely barrel-fermented and aged in French oak, only 10% new, it holds its oak well, allowing the acidity to keep the wine balanced and fresh. Virginie Boone
