Wine Enthusiast : 92

Decanter : 92

Vinous Neal Martin : 89

Jasper Morris : 89

Allen Meadows : 88 "A ripe and fresh nose is composed by notes of soft citrus, pear and sea breeze. There is reasonably good Energy to the delicious medium weightflavors that culminate in a longer and more complex moderately dry finish."

Jancis Robinson : 16

Wine Enthusiast : 88 " Full of freshness now and likely to develop a riper character as it matures."

Millésime 2017 :

Jancis Robinson : 17 "Mealy, nutty-classic. Loads of flavor concentration here, with the typical Chablis steeliness, and a great lick of acidity on the finish." (RH)

Vinous, Neal Martin : 89 "Focused and full of tension - très Chablis!"

Allen Meadows : 90 "A clean, dry, long and citrusy finish. This is a very good example of the genre." 

Concours Prix Plaisir Bettane + Desseauve : Médaille d'Or "Ce Chablis est d'un style gourmand, bien fait, élégant, complet".

Guide Hachette : 1 étoile "Droit, tendu, fruité et équilibré. Un vin singulier aux qualités plurielles."

Millésime 2016 :

Concours Prix Plaisir Bettane + Desseauve : Médaille de Bronze "Agréable avec un bon fruit et un petit départ minéral, droit et fin".

Le Point magazine : 15.5/16 : "Agrumes, crayeux, bouche tendue, fraîche, cristalline, bonne longueur, finale poivrée."

Allen Meadows : 89 "This outperforms for its level."

Jancis Robinson : 16 "Really quite broad on the palate with good freshness and chiselled structure. Quite a mouthful! With a streak of greenness."

Tim Atkin : 90

Millésime 2015 :

Decanter : 92 "Great purity on the palate. Lovely expression of just ripe-stone fruits. A touch more ripeness than 2014 but still has an evident thread of fine acidity. Elegant and classy example of a communal Chablis. Drink : 2017-2022."

Jancis Robinson : 16 "First Chablis of the day and what a pleasure : chalky, fresh lemon aroma, so Chablis. Super-dry chalky texture, but here the dry texture makes it moreish and mouth-watering when combined with the fresh acidity and delicate fruit. You could drink this now (JH)"

Tim Atkin : 90

Allen Meadows : 88 "The mouth feel of the medium bodied flavors is attractively textured while delivering good minerality and punch on the delicious and well balanced finish."

Parker wine advocate : 90

Wine Align : 90 « This is the young new generation changing Chablis without forgetting where it comes from.»

Millésime 2014 :

Tim Atkin : 91

Allen Meadows : 90 "It's rare to get this kind of quality in villages level Chablis and this is highly recommended. 90/2019+"

Parker wine advocate : 89 "The 2014 Chablis Villages displays good vigor on the nose with granite and smoky scents taking you straight to the Chablis slopes. The palate is quate sharp and citric on the entry, but it is supported by good fruit concentration and reveals impressive focus on the finish. This is a well-crafted Chablis village cru."

Jancis Robinson : 16.5 "Bursting with crab apple and yoghurt aromas, loads of acidic verve. Spot on for village Chablis - very generous and forward." RH

Millesime 2013 :

Allen Meadows : 88 "This is exceptionally fresh with its expressive and slightly riper nose of dried yellow orchard fruit, ocean breeze and algae."

Parker wine advocate : 86 "The palate is fresh and tense."

Jancis Robinson : 15.5

Decanter : 89 "Iodine nose with a white pear background, very with a peachy finish"

Tim Atkin : 91
