What We Think
Vin Chicago: 93 Points
(9/2026) And outlandish steal, this wine opens with the electric energy and intoxicating flinty mineral hallmarks that have informed two generations of cult Burgundy. Vibrant and ageless, this drinks fresh for days and trades intense initial gunflint for toast w/lime marmalade, popcorn, honey crisp apple, preserved lemon and seriously long mineral finish. Yum!
What Critics Think
Vinous - Eric Guido : 92 Points
(1/2024) The 2019 Chardonnay Reserve lifts from the glass with a rich and sweetly scented bouquet blending almond custard with confectionary spice and crushed apples. This is fruit-focused, balanced by crisp minerality and tantalizing acidity. Suggestions of ripe peach and vanilla bean linger as the 2019 finishes potent and long yet remarkably fresh.
Wine Advocate : 92 Points
(3/9/2023) The 2019 Chardonnay Reserve offers an intense core of peachy fruit on the nose, with accents of beeswax, flint, almonds and jasmine. The light-bodied palate is soft and rounded with delicate, savory fruit and a long, leesy finish. Drink Date: 2023 - 2028.
