93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
More complex than the Pontcin cuvée, yet with a similar level of purity and freshness, the 2011 Château Grillet offers lots of crushed rock-like minerality, buttered citrus, tangerine and a hint of honeysuckle on the nose. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, has vibrant acidity, plenty of concentration and a great finish. It's another wine that will easily continue drinking nicely through at least 2021. -JD
