Wine Advocate 91-93"The 2011 Chablis Vaillons takes hold of the palate and never lets up. It boasts gorgeous persistence in an understated style that is hugely appealing. The 20% oak is very nicely integrated. Today, it appears to be more subdued than 2010, but it is very pretty just the same. The

Robert Parker 92"The finest of this quartet is the 2011 Pouilly Fuisse Les Petites Bruyeres, which cuts a broader, more savory mouthfeel. Full-bodied with good minerality as well as lots of flesh and plenty of buttery citrus intermixed with tangerine oil, poached peach and white currant notes.

International Wine Cellar 93-96"Good bright red. Noble, airy aromas of piquant pomegranate, smoky minerality, white pepper and leather. Densely packed and folded in on itself; like a black hole in the mouth. Great verve and energy to the saline and crushed stone flavors. Uncoils slowly with

Wine Advocate 90"The 2010 Chablis is all about crystalline purity, depth and nuance. Lemon, white flowers, slate and crushed rocks all meld together in the glass. The 2010 impresses for its fabulous balance and impeccable finish. This a striking wine within its peer group."~AG Stephen Tanzer

"A fresh, supple expression of the varietal, this classically structured, medium-bodied wine is sourced from the Côte d'Or and the Chalonnais and blended to show pure, ripe tropical fruit flavors offset by a touch of oak." ~ Winery notes

Burghound 87-89"An expressive nose blends hints of exotic yellow fruit with lemon peel nuances that lead to detailed middle weight flavors that possess a much more sophisticated mouth feel before terminating in a mildly bitter finish that adds to the sensation of dryness on the finish. Like the

Wine & Spirits 91"This harnesses the power of the 2009 vintage in grace rather than excessive ripeness. Right from the beautiful aroma, this has the mushroom-crossed-with-raspberry flavor that makes a young Burgundy so lovely. It's refined Pommard with the strength to lift foods far beyond it's

Robert Parker 91"The dry, sparkling non-vintage Cremant de Bourgogne (100% Chardonnay) offers up notes of orange blossoms, tangerine oil and lemon rind. Fresh, lively, medium-bodied, penetrating and long, this is a sensational value in sparkling Chardonnay."

Wine Spectator 90"Aromas of oyster shell and wet stone overlay melon and ripe apple in this round Chablis, which is open and supple, with a lingering, juicy finish that shows citrus accents. Drink now through 2014. 20,000 cases made." ~B.S.

"Pretty pale yellow colour. Starting with mineral notes, and developing into smoky, toasted notes prior to revealing aromas of orange blossom. Straightforward and lively, with elegant complexity and a lemon."~Winery Notes

International Wine Cellar 92-95"Good full red. Pungent aromas of raspberry, crushed stone and white pepper. Enters with intense raspberry and spices, then turns firm and floral in the middle, showing superb energy and sappiness to the primary red fruit and mineral flavors. With its saline

Cellartracker 92"Rich and fleshy wine...the bouquet of white fruits is fantastic. As usual, light new oak influence, peaches, pears, and almond notes. A true Meursault with great acidity as well!" ~F.P.

"This brilliant garnet wine is bright and fresh, with ripe, supple crushed strawberry flavors underscored by zesty nuances of peppercorns, gentle tannins and a clean acidity, finishing on a succulent, refreshing note." ~ WInemaker Comments

"Initially this is round, ripe and floral, with a touch of honey, but then the acidity comes through with a touch of minerality. Screwcap."~RV"The wine is very aromatic, full of life and fruit. It has fresh and crispy notes, with crushed grapes and almond flavours. There is no residual sugar."

International Wine Cellar 93-96"Good deep red. Very pure, complex nose melds black cherry, minerals, black pepper, wild herbs and an earthy nuance. Large-scaled, sweet and rich, with a strong mineral underpinning to the flavors of black cherry and spices. A very powerful and impressive Clos

"The 2010 Les Setilles is, as usual, a stunning value from Burgundy. The wine is medium in body with notes of green apple, pear, mineral and just a touch of smoky oak on the finish. Typical of it's 50% Meursault, a backdrop of roasted nut shines throughout." ~Winery notes

Allen Meadows Burghound 92"This was being prepared for bottling and at the time of my tasting the final dosage of sulfur very much dominated the aromas. By contrast, it did not seem to unduly affect the mouth feel or texture of the rich, intense and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that

"I have to admire the little town of Corgoloin in the Cote de Nuits, so proud of its terroir and the source of marble for France's best sculptors. It refused to be lumped in with Nuits-St. Georges and remained CdN-Villages. When I tasted Gachot's wine this winter I could see why. Sure he makes fine

Beverage Tastings Institute 88"Beautiful ruby color. Bright, slightly smoky aromas and flavors of cranberries, cherries, and raspberries with a dash of chocolate. Supple and roundly fruity with pleasant notes of cedar, blood oranges, pepper and earth on the lively, lightly tannic finish. A fine

International Wine Cellar 92-95"Bright medium red. Red berries, white pepper and caraway seed on the nose. Juicy and imploded, with outstanding sap and class to its raspberry, crushed stone and saline flavors. Boasts terrific energy and length. Reminded me of a mini-Musigny." ~S.T.

"Gold pale colour with green tints. The Aligote grape variety gives fruity, dry wines. The freshness of the white flower aromas is remarkable.In the mouth, the specific minerality of the soil of Bouzeron matches well with the savour of fruits; pear, peach, a bright wine with a round finish." ~

"Ripe, supple and of medium body, this classic expression of Pouilly-Fuisse shows vibrant Chardonnay fruit flavors with notes of melon and minerals, gently touched with oak, ending in a fresh, silky finish." ~ Winery notes

"A reserved and elegant nose shyly suggests aromas of mineral reduction, citrus and tidal pool nuances that introduce beautifully detailed and seductively rich flavors that also enjoy plenty of dry extract that adds a sense of volume to the bone dry and highly persistent finish. This is really a
