Score 95/100 · Drink 2023-2030, Angus Hughson, Vinous, Jan 2024

Expressive and open-knit, the 2016 Chardonnay unfolds with notes of melon, musky peach, flint and a kicked-up presence of oak. Dry and linear, there is notable density of fruit, well matched with a generous palate. Chalky acidity adds enough tension to make this drink beautifully right now.

Another notch in the belt for this beautifully ripe and concentrated chardonnay, which has the sort of depth and layering that is seen in the DNA of a wine like Le Montrachet. The ripe nectarines and peaches are stunning, and the phenolic texture is beautifully delivered. The long citrus and peach finish is embossed with warm grilled nuts and nougat. Another masterpiece. Drink or hold.
