Duane Coates is doing it right. Retains the bright fruit character & full texture while balancing all on a savory edgy finish. — 11 years ago

seriously, one of the best Chardonnays produced outside Beaune. Beautiful, delicate, yet surprisingly powerful, a hauntingly good wine that will age perfectly. — 11 years ago

Classic method from Hampshire in the UK, 12%. My first taste of sparkling wine from Great Britain. Light, but intense yellow color, with very fine perlage. "Cold" nose, with scents of confectionery, but a bit "pollaio" too. In the mouth immense acidity (a bit too much for me), and very citrous . Not my favorite. 81/100 — 11 years ago

Mmmmm... Coates du Rhone Rose. Mellon and strawberry with a full body feel, a touch of creaminess and ends on a lovely peppery note.. — 12 years ago

aussies have an affinity for sem. coaxing a linear precision yet allowing some waxy thoughts. the SB adds touch if hay and pee pee de chat. Duane does it right. — 12 years ago

A fantastic value at $46.50 a bottle. Opened at 3:00 and by 5:30 was presenting beautifully. Coates gives the producer two stars (only 29 two-stars in all of the Côte d'Or — only 17 three-star). Grand Cru level 1er Cru. 2007 was not a great year — this wine is an exception. — 10 years ago

Having read Clive Coates and Jancis Robinson comments on Clos de Vouget my expectations had been adjusted a light Pinot which opened up with good fruit raspberry and strawberry with mint notes a good Otago NZ could equal this, went well with baked Salmon — 11 years ago
