97 points Robert Parker: "The 2013 Chardonnay Mon Plaisir offers up notes of nectarine, citrus blossom, white peach, honeysuckle, orange marmalade, brioche and tropical fruits. The wine has fabulous fruit that clearly justifies its French name, which means "My Pleasure." Drink it over the next 7-10 years. (Dec 2015)"
97 points James Suckling: " very complex nose here with jasmine, gardenia, peach and hints of lime. Full-bodied, tight and dense. Open and tangy. Some volcanic salt. Fantastic finish with vibrant acidity. Goes on for minutes. (6/10/16)"
Producer notes: "True to its name, the wine is indeed a pleasure: intense and perfumed. Mon Plaisir 2013 displays an exquisite bouquet of lemon cream, fresh butter and candied grapefruit, with subtle notes of spring flowers. The palate is rich, full-bodied and creamy with beautiful hints of fresh lemons, pear, grapefruit, jasmine, Mirabelle, vanilla, whole nut and brioche. A mineral character with hints of pain grillé and hazelnut complete the mouth feel of this wine and its long finish. Enjoyable now, it will age for a decade and more. 100% naturally fermented using native yeasts. 100% barrel fermented in French oak from artisan coopers. Barrel aged sur lies 11 months with weekly bâtonnage. Alcohol 14.7%."
