Score 93/100 · Drink 2011-2018, Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, Feb 2011

The 2008 Chardonnay Cuvee Bois reveals a cooler, more taut personality. The tension between the fruit and the wine's structural components conveys an impression of vitality. Varietal fruit, French oak, minerals and dried flowers are woven together in a tapestry of inimitable class. Sweet, spiced notes from the oak linger on a finish that turns explosive and saline as the wine grows in the glass. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2018. Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel. (212) 279-0799

The 2008 Chardonnay Vigne Frissonnière is very beautiful in the way expressive varietal notes are framed by a persistent underlying minerality. This Chablis-like white offers outstanding overall balance and plenty of style. The finish is long, refined and simply impeccable.
