98 points Robert Parker: "The 2013 Chardonnay La Carrière is unbelievable. Production was almost 900 cases less than in 2014, and you can see it in the concentration of honeysuckle, orange marmalade, white currant, white peach and mineral notes. This magnificent, full-bodied Chardonnay should also last at least a decade. (Dec 2015)"
96 points James Suckling: "Dried pineapple, apple, lime pie and hints of nuts. Hints of cream too. Full body, dense center palate. Hints of salt and oyster shell here. Complex and subtle. Drink now or hold. (6/10/16)"
Producer notes: "Terroir-driven minerality remains the hallmark of this vineyard, with aromas of bakery, toasted almond, dry honey, white vine rose, jasmine, hazelnut and William pear. Accents of mandarin orange, honey and vanilla complete the elegant bouquet. Wonderfully concentrated and elegant on the palate, the wine is sculpted, rich, intense and creamy. Notes of citrus oil, white peach and lemon meringue frame the minerality. The minerality and bright acidity will allow it to age well for two decades, much like its Burgundian cousins from Puligny-Montrachet. Alcohol 14.5%."
