"The 2010 Chablis Vaillons covers every corner of the palate with green apples, pears, white flowers and sweet spices. This is a big, powerful Vaillons with terrific balance and an unctuous, textured personality."

"The 2011 Chablis Montmains possesses striking aromatics and gorgeous delineation in its fruit. Light floral honey, lychee, apricots and tangerine meld together beautifully in this seamless, layered Chablis. The Montmains looks to be another wine with immense early appeal. Michel has two parcels in Montmains and notes this cool, windy site is often vulnerable to frost."

"High-pitched, nuanced nose combines pineapple, lime, quinine, ginger, white pepper and flowers. Elegant, fine-grained and quite suave, with a distinctly airy texture. Finishes rich, ripe and persistent."
