Antonio Galloni - 92 Points

"Honey, apricot, hazelnut, butter, smoke, mint, licorice and tangerine notes all flesh out in the Chassagne-Montrachet Clos St. Jean. This is a decidedly rich, powerful Chassagne endowed with serious depth. The 2011 is a beautifully layered, generous Burgundy to drink now and over the next handful of years."
