Reviews 93 points Vinous "Aromas of lime and lemon zest, pear, crushed rock and marrowy minerality display captivating purity. At once supple and penetrating, beginning with an energetic lemony tightness but eventually expanding in the middle palate and spreading out on the back end. This compellingly fresh, still-youthful midweight is not at all a thick style of Chablis--nor does it possess the 2002's sweetness of fruit--but it's brisk, precise and bone-dry, with urgent wet-stone salinity and sneaky rising length. Yet another superb and uncompromising example of this classically austere vintage for Chablis. (ST)" 92 points John Gilman "The bouquet is bright and focused, wafting from the glass in a mix of tangerine, fresh coconut, candied lemon peel, chalky minerality, a touch of beeswax and a topnote of white flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and quite elegant in personality, with a solid core, fine focus and grip and a long, zesty finish. (JG)"
