Avis professionnels

James Suckling (93)

Lots of cooked apple pie with melon and hints of lemongrass. Full-bodied and focused with pretty fruit and not too much wood. It’s dense yet agile and delivers plenty of flavor and enjoyment.

Jancis Robinson (16.50)

Excellent acidity and precision. Excellent texture. Still quite chewy and definitely ambitious. More Chablis style. Very youthful.

Vinous (93)

The 2021 Chardonnay from Cloudy Bay is ripe and round while retaining that classic Marlburian tow of fine acid persistence that gives a sense of relentlessly pulling the wine. It's pure and clean and there's no hair out of place; the oak-derived nutty vanilla flavors sit in the background, where they ought, with bright and perky nectarine and lemon citrus to the fore. It's all technically excellent but it doesn't move me. Perhaps I'm asking too much when I desire a wine with soul.
