Jennifer Havers rated this wine as
89/100 with the following review:
Soft, and very aromatic. Aromas include lemony citrus, with a hint of vanilla and some hazelnut, subtle, but rounds out the palate. Full bodied, balanced acidity with some oak to soften it up, but not overwhelm. Perfect with roasted chicken.
Philippe Perreault rated this wine as
84/100 with the following review:
Deep golden color.
Aromas of Nuts, oak, toasted bread mineral and vanilla.
The palate is edgy, buttery and very long.
Pair it with quail with mushroom sauce or creamy cheese.
Serve it at 10-12 degrees.
Can be aged 7-8 years yet.

Lovely golden colour, with toasty oak notes, caramel, butter, and pineapple. A fantastic naked Chardonnay from the south of France. Full bodied and very expressive. Tasted April 2015. 91 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca

89/100 with the following review:
Pale gold, toasty, dusty mineral, honeydew melon and some tropical notes hiding underneath. Rich and creamy, full bodied, with apple, lemon citrus, butterscotch and spicy oak notes. Good complexity and delivers a lengthy finish.

Olivier de Maisonneuve rated this wine as
90/100 with the following review:
Oaky and mineral nose, quite intense and fairly complex when you let it breath a bit. It is also flavourful, but it blends well with food, accompanying it rather than overpowering it. Lobster, crab legs, and St-Jacques would probably be a good pairing,as would fish with a bearnaise sauce. A lively acidity keeps it afloat. I like it!

90/100 with the following review:
Buttered bread and toffee up front with stonefruit and white pepper as well. The taste follows, and the acidity balances it nicely to give it a very pleasant mouth-feel.
Tom Vigeant reviewed this wine as follows:
Slightly toasted bread with melting butter overlay orchard fruit on the nose. Rich, creamy mouthfeel, notes of smoke, oak and butter dominate from start to finish. Grilled chicken, smoked cheeses or oysters baked with edam and bacon bits come to mind for food pairings.
Astrid Young rated this wine as
91/100 with the following review:
Smoky notes hit the nose first, with grilled stone fruits showing beneath. Nice full malo style, buttery and creamy textured, slight oxidative note as the smoke clears, echoing more grilled peaches and a lemon curd note. Would be delicious with cedar planked salmon or smoked Gouda.

This is an oaked French Chardonnay that has toasty (dulce de leche, vanilla) as well as other aromas of ripe melon, pineapple and peaches. On the palate it has a balanced and refreshing acidity that would make it an excellent pairing with cream-based pasta or fish dishes.
