The 2010 Chablis Montmains (maison) shows serious weight and density at first, until the wine’s minerality and floral notes kick in on the mid-palate. This is one of the more immediate and pretty of the 2010s here. Hints of light floral honey wrap around the generous, inviting finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013+. - Antonio Galloni, erobertparker.com #202

91+ Wine Advocate... Not only is there a yeasty, slightly cheesy veil over the nose of Schaefer’s 2011 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spatlese, there’s also a surprising whiff of petrol. Beyond that, vintage-typical effusively ripe apple and Persian melon are also wreathed in honeysuckle and lily-of-the-valley for a buoyant, wafting palate impression that tingles with citrus zest, crystalline mineral impingement, and saliva-liberating salinity in a long, infectiously juicy finish.

The quality and bravura of the palate makes you forgive the over-enthusiasm on the nose.- Neal Martin, Wine Advocate #203

Chosen from select blocks, but made with the same care and attention to detail as it's bigger brother the 'Art Series' Chard.  Aged and fermented in 40% new oak, though the wine isn’t the least bit oaky, it baffles the palate with its striking combo of lemon, lime, rocks and stone fruits. Complete in every way, it is now one of the white wine world’s great bargains...
