Firm and serious. Clean lines. A decisive feel. Bright sparks here. Delicious. Much more excitement and more energy than the Hunting Hill which has huge charm, but is broader. The Coddington is deep and layered, just so detailed - yet with great weight of spiced white fruit. A fantastic effort. L&S (Aug 2020)

The 2019 Chardonnay Coddington offers flesh and roundness while having restraint and savory characters. This is a focused wine with a genuine corset of acidity that drives it forward. Well balanced with the smokiness of the Gillet barrel integrated fully. Still young, this has a long journey ahead. Drinking range: 2024 - 2032 Rating: 91 Rebecca Gibb MW - Vinous.com (Sept 2024)
This is a punchy and chiseled Coddington with attractive peach and citrus-fruit aromas, as well as hazelnuts and white stones. The palate has a very focused, pure shape with a central spine of intense peach flavor, crisp phenolics and clenching acidity to close. Real drive here. Drink or hold. Screw cap. Rating: 96 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Feb 2021)
Every bit as thrilling as top-drawer Côte d’Or white burgundy, this gorgeous barrel fermented and aged chardonnay comes from Coddington, a grower’s vineyard, and was given plenty of TLC in the cellar. What you get is a sweet tobacco and hazelnut toast of a chardonnay that is very hard to beat.Jane MacQuitty, The Times (Feb 2021)
