Jasper Morris, 92-95 Points 

"Clear pale colour. The nose is the cleanest and the most classic, with more fruit evident from the start. One younger plot lower down was nearly a full crop. This has a beginning, a middle and an end, not the plumpest Charmes of your life, but much the style of wine which Nicolas wants to make and is capable of. Lots of detail here too, nuanced from its varied elevage. Lovely crunch to it, very good. Drink from 2026-2031." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Beautiful minerality with citrus notes where the fat is always present but without heaviness. The hazelnut notes of Chardonnay appear in 8 to 10 years. It goes wonderfully with fish, shellfish and foie gras."
