Region: Burgundy  

Variety: Chardonnay 

What's in the glass: A monopole measuring .62 ha that is actually part of Les Cras. A beautifully layered nose combines notes of orange peel, smoky Granny Smith, petrol, acacia and a pretty range of spice nuances. There is both excellent volume and richness to the bigger-bodied and more powerful flavors that deliver seriously fine length on the balanced finale. This could use better depth so at least a few years of keeping are in order though I underscore that the aging curve of this stunningly good effort is easily a decade plus. 94 POINTS - ALLEN MEADOWS, BURGHOUND
