CRITIC REVIEWS
William Kelley
The Butteaux is excellent in 2016, offering up a classic nose of apple, spring flowers, beeswax and chalky soil tones, framed by a light reduction. On the palate the wine is cool, glossy and textural. Its full-bodied, broader than the tensile Montée de Tonnerre, its minerality married with a succulent core of fruit.
James Suckling
A more mineral style from a plot at the top of the cru. This is later ripening and it retains the acidity. This has long, smooth and majestic style with a wealth of peaches. Very smooth and ripe with a grilled-hazelnut finish. Good freshness for the vintage. Pastry-like and succulent at the finish, too. Superior length. Drink or hold.
