Wine Spectator: 93 points

For fans of ultraminerally Chablis. This full-bodied beauty reveals almost nothing on the nose except a sense of class and anticipation, but does strut its stuff on the midpalate, activating its mineral, ripe fruit, slightly spicy notes, rewally turning on the power on the vibrant, long and smoky finish. Best after 2005. 2,250 cases made.

Vinous: 92 points

Reticent aromas of lemon, vanilla, smoke and oyster shell. Penetrating, lemony fruit is leanish but ripe, its density partly hidden by strong, harmonious acidity. Shows a stony, saline character and superb depth of flavor. This very long, firm wine opened beautifully with aeration to show a seamless, layered texture.
