86-88 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Here too the nose displays notes of residual fermentation and reduction. There is slightly better volume to the delicious middleweight flavors that exhibit a touch of minerality on the overtly bitter lemon-infused finish where a touch of youthful austerity eventually emerges. Note that this is sufficiently tightly wound to reward several years of bottle aging. Drink: 2027+. (Jun 2024)"

The Bourgogne Blanc Les Champlains always displays the more richness, roundness, and fullness of the two Bourgogne Blancs. The soil is very rocky, and there are several quarries nearby. Fermentation is in barrel. There is usually no sulfur added at the press unless the vintage requires it. The wine ages for six months in barrel then three months in tank. The final blend usually contains around 5% Pinot Beurot (Pinot Gris) which is partly why Les Champlains tends to be rounder than Les Perrieres. Vineyard planted in 1993 and 1996 on an eastern-facing slope.
