Focused aromas of white flower, cashew cream and coconut flesh doused in lime juice show on the nose of this bottling from the historic estate. Bright acidity and earthy minerality kick off the palate, slicing through the flavors of cut apple and lime. (Matt Kettmann)

Presents itself as a fresh, clean and vibrant style, with spicy floral and slate details around crisp apple and Asian pear flavors, before gathering sneaky roundness and length. Reveals a juicy mandarin orange note on the smooth finish, with subtle vanilla and clove accents. Drink now through 2028. 6,400 cases made, 5,000 cases imported. (Aaron Romano)

The 2022 Chablis Village was picked at 60hl/ha, triple the amount in the frost-decimated previous year. Originating from the usual parcels and raised entirely in stainless steel, it has a brisk nose with Granny Smiths, lime and wet stone. Classic Chablis. The palate is well-balanced, with a bitter lemon entry lending tension. Taut and linear, it delivers a refreshing, spicy finish that lingers in the mouth. Very fine. (Neal Martin)

The 2020 Chardornay Bien Nacido Vineyard is delicate, floral and nicely lifted. Hints of lemon peel, savory herbs and mint are nicely delineated. In this tasting, the Bien Nacido comes across as a bit austere and lacking the mid-palate textural and flavor profile that are typical of this site. The 2020 is an attractive wine, but it feels a bit skeletal today. (Antonio Galloni)

The 2021 Chablis Sainte Claire was showing a little too much SO2 on the nose, although there seems to be decent fruit tucked behind. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, quite tensile and steely with a precise finish that deserves a round of applause. This is well-crafted. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis. (Neal Martin)

SP9393 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jul 31, 2024
An expressive version, with generous notes of ripe tropical fruit, including papaya, grilled pineapple and mango. There’s also a wonderful sense of restraint in the way the acidity and supple texture play with the flavors. Touches of vanilla shortbread, candied ginger and orange blossoms add fragrant grace notes. Drink now. 9,100 cases made. (MaryAnn Worobiec)

There’s citric freshness and chalky minerality on the nose of this wine, while the palate displays an herbaceous tension with lemon, green apple and pear flavors. A few years in the cellar might soften the more prominent edges on display here. (Tom Capo)

The 2022 Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County) is a fabulous introduction to this range. Orchard fruit, citrus, white flowers and mint give the 2022 lovely aromatic presence. The blend of Santa Maria, Sta. Rita Hills and Los Alamos fruit works so well in this bottling. (Antonio Galloni)
