94+ JG. "The new addition of Champgains is absolutely stellar in 2014 as well. These nearly sixty year-old vines have produced a classic example that has a bit more depth at the core than the Referts, but which is equally racy and refined. The bouquet offers up scents of white peach, apple, a fine base of chalky soil tones, orange zest and just a hint of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and absolutely complete in personality, with a fine core, bright acids and excellent cut and grip on the very long, very elegant finish. Chapeau!"
