This lean, firmly tannic wine is more about structure that fruit. There is a burnt, chocolate-and-bitter-coffee flavor that gives edge to the palate, while firm tannins enrobe black-cherry fruit. Drink from 2016.

). This is a ripe, soft and warmly fruity wine. It has red cherry and strawberry flavors that lend a feeling of richness and roundness in texture. The acidity provides structure to this wine, but it is developing fast and will be ready to drink in 2015.

The 2011 Chardonnay Estate offers attractive notes of oranges and mangoes along with good acidity, and little oak in either the aromatic or flavor profiles. With good freshness and liveliness, it can be enjoyed over the next several years.

The attractive, user-friendly 2011 Chardonnay Carneros offers notes of citrus oil, no evidence of oak, medium body and good fruit purity as well as texture. While not profound, it will provide a good glass of Chardonnay over the next 1-2 years.

This rich wine is one of the rare white wines of Savingy-les-Beaune. It has warm, yellow- and tropical-fruit flavors, light acidity and a smooth, creamy texture. A fresh citrus character lingers on the finish. Drink now-2019.

A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, giving a classic mineral driven wine, very fresh and crisp with some weight as well. Citrus fruits dominate with hints of apple skin and pear. A sophisticated wine to accompany food.

The blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay gives a wine with weight and richness as well as a tight, mineral character. The wine is full in the mouth with its creamy mousse and fine pear and citrus fruits. A wine for food rather than apéritif.

Full, ripe wine, layered with fruits and a dry, more mineral core. The wine has good depth of flavor, strawberries, red currants and a citrus cut that keeps the wine fresh at the end.

The opulence of this Chard comes at least as much from the buttered toast and caramel notes of oak, as it does from the underlying pineapple and tropical fruit flavors. It’s a crowd pleaser. Drink now. —

Dry and earthy, with tobacco, mushroom and raspberry flavors, accented with smoky oak. Feels a bit hollow in the middle palate and short on the finish, but is an elegant, silky wine. Drink now. —
