Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (90)

Matured on the lees for 30 months, the 2018 Chablis Vente d'Ange Mise Tardive opens in the glass with aromas of clear honey, beeswax and pear. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with racy acids and a long, sapid finish, it shows unusual depth and dimension for the vintage.

Vinous (90)

Bottled in March 2021, the 2018 Chablis Vent d’Ange is quite open and intense on the nose, offering yellow plum and light nectarine scents, well defined though not the most complex aromatics that I have encountered from Pico. The focused palate shows a touch of sour lemon on the entry and good depth. Leesy and noticeably peppery toward the finish, with a tang of ginger enlivening the aftertaste. Very distinctive, as usual. This should drink well for a decade or more.

Ripe aromas of both white and yellow orchard fruit, in particular apricot and peach, offer moderate Chablis typicity that include nuances of brine and algae. There is excellent volume to the saline-inflected flavors that deliver fine length on the balanced finale. This is very good for its level and worth a look.

Jasper Morris (89)

The higher sugars in 2018 (13.5% for the finished wine) were much harder to ferment. This is a richer, more powerful wine than the 2017, even a touch heavy in its youth, but with good weight and enough acidity., but the DNA is writ large and I think it will benefit from considerably longer in bottle. This is a food wine for sure.
