Decanter: 97 Points
A thrilling complexity of fresh almond, acacia, lemon, lime peel and seashell minerals underpinned by an austere, vibrant acidity. Opulent and rounded with a salty, savoury, incredibly long finish. Highly polished with ageing potential of 5-6 years at least.
James Suckling: 93-94 Points
This is stunning for the power and precision it offers. Flinty and gently reductive grilled peaches and lime citrus on the nose. The palate has a very assertive piercing core of fresh lime, white peaches and green mangoes. Acidity delivers sorbet-like texture. Brilliant!
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
From a two-hectare parcel that runs from the bottom to the top of the slope, the 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Blanchots is also showing well, revealing attractive aromas of white flowers, green apple and marzipan. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a racy spine of acidity and a precise, saline finish.
