Wine Critics Notes:

Allen Meadows - Score: 93 (2015 Jun.)

This is aromatically both more elegant and more complex than the Combettes with its beautiful range of citrus, honeysuckle, pear and an appealing hint of tangerine peel. There is stunningly good purity of expression to the cool, restrained and understated medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract that also serves to buffer the suave yet detailed finale that delivers seriously impressive length. The words 'pure class' aptly describe this beautifully balanced and age-worthy effort.

Vinous - Score: 93+ (2015 Sep.)

(the grand crus were bottled in mid-April): High-pitched aromas of pear, lime, crushed stone and lavender. Intensely flavored but airy and light on its feet, with firm limey acidity (4.4 grams per liter) cutting the wine's flesh. Finishes tight and long, with rising floral perfume. Again, this is high-pitched and refined for the vintage.
