2014 Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils Meursault Genevrieres Premier Cru

Burgundy, FRANCE
$160. 00
Bottle
$1920.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
The 2014 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières spent 11 months in barrel using 10% to 15% new wood. Now this is a level up from the Les Clous 2014 (as it should be) with walnut and smoke filtering through on the nose that is very "Genevrières." The palate is well balanced with subtle tropical fruit (guava and apricot, a hint of quince), matched by a fine line of acidity and a composed, lightly spiced finish that tingles in the mouth. This is a lovely Meurault Genevrières from Bouchard Père.

Neal Martin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The pungent nose combines reduction and as yet unabsorbed sulfur so be sure to decant this if you're going to open a bottle in the name of "science". The palate impression of the wonderfully refined middle weight flavors manages to be at once notably rich while retaining good delineation while simultaneously delivering excellent depth and persistence on the well-balanced finale. This is focused but not especially tight or austere and this should drink reasonably well after only a few years of cellaring.

Bright, light yellow. Peachy fruit salad, lavender and crushed stone on the vibrant nose and palate (very good choice of harvest date here!). Concentrated and sweet, with harmonious acidity giving shape to the wine. Strong mineral extract leads to a satisfyingly saline, fine-grained finish with noteworthy persistence. Tactile yet seamless wine with lovely balance and an element of power. But lay it down for a few years.

A rich, buttery style, with underlying peach, apple and baking spice flavors. Lush and open, with the acidity gaining ground on the long, spicy finish. Drink now through 2019.

ABV: 14%

Other Reviews....
Here too the nose is firmly reduced and revealing nothing. By contrast there is excellent, indeed almost painful intensity to the citrusy mineral-driven flavors that don't have the same concentration or complexity. While I wouldn't describe this as light, it is certainly lighter than the other Meursault 1ers. With that said, this wine often adds weight with time and bottle and the 2019 version will likely do the same. Drink 2026+.

The 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières is very promising, delivering notes of citrus oil, white flowers, mandarin, fresh bread and struck match. Medium to full-bodied, racy and chiseled, it's bright and mineral, with a tight, tangy profile that's defined by the site more than the vintage.
92-94+ points
William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 2021)
The 2019 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru is quite intense on the nose, although I found more terroir expression on the Genevrières by comparison. The well-balanced palate has a saline entry, a fine bead of acidity and an intense, quite citric finish; good salinity on the aftertaste. This Les Perrières has plenty of energy and should offer 15–20 years’ drinking. Drink 2023 - 2043.

Full lemon yellow the most compete nose of the big three, combining aspects of the other two. Pears in the background, starts discreetly then really kicks on before reaching a complex powerful finish with very good acidity. High class wine here with excellent length.

Bottle
$3480.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
There is enough wood surrounding the ripe and fresh white orchard fruit, floral and discreet spice nuances to merit pointing out. The more refined, if not necessarily more intense, medium weight flavors are definitely more mineral-driven on the moderately dry and lightly austere finale that delivers both fine depth and persistence as well as notably better balance. Drink from 2028+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet En Remilly 1er Cru has a well-defined, mineral-driven bouquet with good tension and focus, a little flintiness in the background. The palate is well-defined, fresh and vibrant, good salinity here with a vibrant and lingering finish. This feels very composed and has a promising future. Drink 2024-2036.
91-93 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
This is a wine of extraordinary balance and complexity that begins with aromas of lemon peel and minerals, then moves on to ripe apricots and white flowers. On the palate there is a refreshingly crisp acidity, but the lasting impression is one of density and length. This is not far off grand cru quality. This particularly interesting premier cru touches the top of Chevalier-Montrachet and leads to St-Aubin at the other end. Colin farms 0.47ha and picked at 13% potential alcohol in 2020. Drink 2023 - 2040.

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
Smoky aromas of freshly sliced Granny Smith apples, citrus zest and elegant acacia blossom scents are complemented by the beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract that helps to buffer the lemon-tinged acidity supporting the bone-dry and sneaky long finale. This is finer and more sophisticated than the Blanchot but doesn't have the same power, size and throw weight. A qualitative choice though the two wines are very different. Drink from 2030+.
93 points
Allen Meadows - Burghound
The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet La Truffière 1er Cru is tight and crisp on the nose: Granny Smiths, Conference pear and light crushed stony aromas. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, taut and fresh, tapering slightly towards the finish that just needs a little more complexity and nuance. Fine overall though. Drink 2023-2033.
90-92 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
The wine has a pronounced lemon peel and mineral nose of impressive concentration, and on the palate there is a lively, fresh acidity tempered by pleasant richness and breadth. The dynamic equilibrium leads this to a lingering, satisfying finish. Bruno Colin farms nearly a half-hectare of vines in Puligny La Truffière, located far up the slope, almost in Blagny. The grapes are gently pressed and fermented in cask (15% new) before ageing for 17 months. Drink 2023 - 2040.

This is quite firmly reduced at present and revealing nothing on the nose.

Pure, airy and elegant aromas are comprised by freshly sliced lime, poached pear and acacia blossom. The much more refined flavors flash excellent, indeed almost painful, intensity along with evident minerality on the focused, concentrated and remarkably persistent finish that is noticeably firmer. This is a first-rate example of En Remilly and appears to be very, very promising. Drink 2029+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound
Cheerful light yellow with a green tint. This has a classy chiselled bouquet, making a delicious mouthful with sunny yellow fruit, much less overtly powerful than Philippe Colin’s version, but very classy and charming. The difference in style may reflect the relative positions on the slope of the two plots. A hint of sucrosity perhaps on the palate. Very good wine.

2020 Domaine Cauhape Geyser Jurancon Sec

$44. 99
Bottle
$539.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 3 Years (2022-2025)

ABV: 14.5%

Closure: Synthetic Cork

The appellation Jurançon is well-loved by sommeliers and found in all the best restaurants of France and around the world, yet sadly it remains off the radar for many wine lovers. Nearly 500 years ago the future King of France Henry IV, was baptised in Pau with the traditional garlic and a spoonful of Jurançon wine. That year was 1553 and just five years later in 1558 a small rural property was entered into the register of lands under the name Caussapé. And it was on this property in 1980, then his parents’ farm, that Henri Ramonteau established Domaine Cauhapé. Since those beginnings on just one hectare, Henri has built up the estate to today’s area of 47ha and become the most renowned producer of Jurançon wines, both dry and sweet.
A blend of 30% Gros Manseng, 30% Petit Manseng, 30% Camaralet, 5% Lauzet and 5% Courbu Blanc fermented in stainless steel and matured on lees for 5 months.
Bright straw colour with a faint glimmer of green around the outskirts and a watery hue. Exotic aromas of pineapple and guava mix with ripe yellow peach, citrus and distinct honeysuckle notes. Bursting with energy the palate features an exceptionally concentrated flavour profile of pineapple and guava fruits that show plenty of textural volume. Some ripe yellow peach, honeysuckle and wet slate characters lie underneath. Finishes dry with mouth watering acidity and a long rich aftertaste that carries a zesty freshness.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.

Burgundy, FRANCE
Reduced from $330.00
$270. 00
Bottle
$3240.00 Dozen

ABV: 14.5%

Closure: Cork

Domaine Chanson has undergone a significant transformation, pivoting from its historical identity as a traditional negociant house to a premier estate-focused producer. Now managing approximately 95 hectares, the domaine is among the most significant landowners in the Cote de Beaune. Under the direction of Vincent Avenel, with head viticulturalist Justine Savoye and cellarmaster Lucy Auger, there is a meticulous emphasis on vineyard health; the estate's core Cote de Beaune holdings achieved full organic certification in 2024. In the cellar, a technical, "infusion-led" philosophy utilizes a state-of-the-art chilling tunnel to preserve varietal purity and acidity. Winemaking is precise and site-specific, typically employing roughly 50% whole-cluster fermentation for reds and conservative new oak (20% for whites, 25-30% for reds).
Other Reviews....
Firm reduction renders an evaluation of the nose impossible at present. The finer but not necessarily denser flavors possess a gorgeous mouthfeel while also coating the palate with dry extract that buffers the moderately firm, balanced and refreshingly dry finale. This is a seductive yet quite punchy Clos des Mouches and is a wine that should age effortlessly yet there is sufficient richness such that it could be enjoyed young too. Drink through 2030+.
90-93 points
Allen Meadows - Burghound
An even fuller yellow and an even more luxuriant nose, as Clos des Mouches cannot help. I still haven’t understood just why this vineyard should make such opulent, creamily textured wines. The oak is for me just a little bit too present but it should sort itself out after a light bentonite fining and filtering. Good acidity. Plenty of wine to work with here! Drink from 2028-2034.
92-95 points
Jasper Morris MW - Inside Burgundy
Chanson's white Clos des Mouches boasts an attractive ripe apple fruit aroma and hints of acacia, butter, and spice. Despite the heat of the year, there is no over-ripeness, and although the texture is creamy and rich, there is enough freshness to carry this to a pleasantly lingering finish. The grapes are from two hectares of Chanson's holdings in the Clos des Mouches, pressed as whole clusters and fermented on native yeasts with most of their lees. The result is a delight that excels in finesse but does not lack the substance to age for at least a decade. Drink 2027-2055.

Here too there is enough wood as well as a vague suggestion of the exotic on the aromas of white peach, orange peel and an interesting hint of phenolic character (think olive oil nuances). The super-sleek and intensely mineral-driven flavors possess excellent volume while offering fine persistence on the moderately austere and refreshingly crisp and dry finale. This tightly wound effort could use better depth so I would suggest allowing this at least 5 years of keeping even though it should have no trouble repaying a decade or more. Drink through 2032+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound
Another mid yellow colour with a slight green tint. Evident power on the nose without much detail. Some lifted floral – summer flowers – notes start to appear. Quite firm fruit, more in white orchard fruit but with a plum touch as well, broad based, good acidity, and a solid bench of oak behind. Needs more time to show the detail. Drink from 2030-2038.

Jasper Morris MW - Inside Burgundy
This delicious white Corton has an almost Montrachet-like richness and depth of flavour, with its aromas of ripe apple, quince, cream and spice. The texture is luxurious, almost decadent, but the balanced acidity and extract carry it to an alluringly long finish. The domaine owns 0.65 hectares down the slope from Le Rognet et Corton in Ladoix that face due east; the grapes are carefully sorted, pressed as whole clusters, and fermented in cask (one-quarter new). This wine should open nicely in five years and will drink well for a further 20. Drink 2027-2055.

2023 Domaine Chantemerle Fourchaume Chablis Premier Cru

Chablis, FRANCE
$69. 99
Bottle

Cellar: Drink now - 5 Years (2025-2030)

ABV: 12.5%

Closure: Diam Cork

It’s no big secret that the prices of Burgundy have skyrocketed in recent years and whilst the wines from Chablis haven’t risen quite as steeply it’s becoming increasingly difficult to even locate sub $50 Petit Chablis. So a $60 Premier Cru Chablis that delivers exceptional quality is indeed a rare find these days.
Francis Boudin is the third-generation vigneron at Chantemerle and the estate firmly falls in the traditional mould - he despises oak. As the story goes, his grandfather was a cooper and with so much exposure to oak during his formative years he banished it from the family cellars opting for concrete and steel alone.
Old vine material is the key to the estate’s success. While many in the region during the 1970's were re-planting vineyards to high-yielding material the Boudins were planting with naturally low-yielding vines. Along with careful vineyard management, an informed but gentle touch in the winery and judicious lees work to bring out flesh and texture, Boudin produces supple wines, that speak of place clearly layered with Chablis' prized minerality.
A beautifully shaped and intensely flavoured Premier Cru Chablis that delivers phenomenal value.
Brilliant pale straw colour with subtle flecks of green to the edges and a watery hue. Enticing pear and lime scents jump out of the glass intermixing with wet stone, faint dried honey, oyster shell and mineral notes along the way. Beautifully shaped with a river stone like feel and intensely flavoured, the palate features pear, lime and green apple fruits which seamlessly intermesh with wet slate, oyster shell and minerally saline like elements. Agile acidity lends freshness to a long, supple finish that’s highly moreish.

Brilliant pale straw colour with yellow straw tinged edges and a watery hue.

Agreeably cool and pretty aromas combine notes of pear and apple with those of citrus confit and anise.

Striking nose of orange blossom and flint. On the upper edge of medium-bodied and still quite tight, the fine tannins pulling the very expressive citrus-fruit character together at the very mineral finish. Needs a bit of time to give its considerable best. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.

Cyril Audoin has turned in another superb performance in the 2020 vintage, delivering wines of perfume, energy and precision that transcend stereotypes of their appellation. Marsannay nourishes a number of high-quality domaines, and the village offers rich pickings for wine lovers, but Audoin might well be my favorite. What's more, anyone who laments rising prices in the Côte d'Or should take note of the terrific value this estate's wines represent, because quality at this level should honestly cost quite a bit more.
The 2020 Marsannay Clos du Roy Blanc is brilliant, revealing aromas of pear, lime zest, freshly baked bread, white flowers and buttery pastry. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, its textural attack segues into a chiseled, electric mid-palate, concluding with a long, tangy finish. Drink 2023-2035.

A subtle dollop of wood is present on the citrus zest, green apple and floral-suffused nose. The wood can also be found on the palate of the medium-bodied flavors that exhibit good minerality on the youthfully austere, linear and bone-dry finale. Drink to 2024+.

A ripe and generous but precisely balanced white Burgundy with a cool nose of citrus, fresh nuts and a touch mint. You could easily mistake this for a Meursault 1er Cru from a top producer, thanks to the amazingly rich and silky texture, then the very long, salty-mineral finish. Drink or hold.

Here too there is enough wood to warrant mentioning on the slightly riper aromas of petrol and various white-fleshed fruit. The sleeker and coiled middle weight flavors exude evident minerality on the balanced and lingering finish where the wood expressed by the nose resurfaces. This is sufficiently forward to drink well young, but it should be better with a few years of keeping. Drink to 2024+.

This is aromatically similar to the La Charme aux Prêtres but with a floral top note.

Burgundy, FRANCE

Cellar: Drink now - 5 Years (2022-2027)

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Domaine Charles Audoin was formed in 1972 by Charles and his oenologist wife Marie-Francoise, starting with three hectares in Marsannay. Their holding has now grown to around 14 hectares that captures some of the best parcels in Marsannay. Their son Cyril joined his father in 2000, and is now in charge of both vineyard and winemaking activities for the Domaine. Cyril is increasingly focused on vineyard health, to deliver wines with pure varietal expression and a sense of place. They are among the most serious wines from the area, and while juicy and approachable young, have the capacity to age gracefully for many years.
Brilliant pale straw colour with highlights of green around the edges and a watery hue. Intense yet beautifully refined aromatics of ripe pear, apricot, nectarine and dried honey flow out of the glass followed by nougat, biscuity oak and spice. Rich, concentrated nectarine, pear, dried honey and subtle apricot fruits flood the mouth with notions of biscuity oak, grapefruit and infusions of gun flint adding further interest on the back half. Fleshy yet fresh in its feel, it picks up weight and texture as its sits in the glass. Finishes with good vibrancy and a long aftertaste that highlights Burgundy’s finesse.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.

This has the combination of richness, firm structure and excellent concentration that we associate with Bâtard-Montrachet, but here the finish is more elegant with tingling mineral freshness that pulls you back for more.

Unfurling in the glass with scents of sweet orchard fruit, white flowers and almond paste, the 2019 Marsannay Au Champ Salomon Blanc is medium to full-bodied, bright and chalky, with the most tightly wound, mineral and incisive profile of Audoin's white Marsannay cuvées this year. As usual, it's my favorite of the range.

Whiffs of the exotic, and in particular passion fruit, are present on the citrusy, ripe and fresh white orchard fruit scents. There is fine intensity to the stony and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that aren't especially complex, but they are refreshing and sneaky long. Drink 2023+.

Bright pale straw to straw colour with a watery hue. Filling the nostrils are aromas of ripe peach, honeycomb and crème brulee with hints of lemon butter, roasted almonds, nougat and spice ensuing. Rich peach, nectarine and honeycomb flavours carry good textural volume across the mid weighted palate with fresh underlying acidity lending a subtle zing to the back half. Terrific concentration. Citrus, crème brulee, bacon fat and spice elements also chime in. Finishes energetic, long and opulent.

Aromas of citrus oil, pear, vanilla pod and nutmeg preface the 2019 Marsannay Clos du Roy Blanc, a medium to full-bodied, layered and precise wine that's concentrated and tightly wound, with tangy acids and chalky structure. This derives from the upper part of the Clos du Roy, where the calcium-rich marls are suited to Chardonnay.

Moderate wood frames aromas that flash a viognier-like character along with notes of citrus peel and pear. There is a lovely richness to the opulent and suave flavors that contrast noticeably with the lemony, intense and chiseled finish that is a bit drier and more tightly wound. Drink 2023+.

You might easily think that this white Burgundy came from a much more famous appellation than Marsannay, thanks to the citrus-blossom nose with a delicate hint of oak, then the excellent balance of creaminess and mineral freshness on the medium-bodied palate.

The 2019 Marsannay Cuvée Charlie Blanc is lovely, offering up aromas of crisp orchard and stone fruit complemented by hints of nutmeg and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, textural and fleshy, it's rich but chiseled, with tangy acids and a mouthwatering finish.

Moderate reduction knocks down the fruit though it's clear that it is ripe. There is slightly better underlying tension to the delicious middle weight flavors that are also round and succulent before concluding in an equally saline-inflected finish that offers better depth and persistence. Note that this too should drink well young. Drink 2022+.

There is ample Chablis typicity to the nicely fresh aromas of citrus, pear and sea breeze.

More apparent wood is present on the otherwise similar nose. There is however more richness and volume to the slightly bigger-bodied and more concentrated flavors that also brim with sappy dry extract while exhibiting outstanding length on the powerful and equally compact finale. This isn't quite as detailed, or as mineral-driven on the palpably citrus-inflected finish and overall, these two wines are qualitatively quite similar even if they offer two different expressions.

The 2022 Chablis Les Clos Clos des Hospices does not quite have the same level of complexity as the regular cuvée. Touches of yellow plum, white flower and sea spray. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity. Very harmonious and with just the right amount of spiciness toward the finish that leaves the mouth tingling. A hint of praline lingers on the aftertaste. What a classy offering. Drink 2027-2048.

100% in barrel, now racked to tank and assembled since mid May. The colour is a lively lemon yellow. Compared to the regular Clos the oak is rather more prominent, but it still struggles to contain the fruit. A faint dusting of coconut. A fabulous intensity of fruit with a lime acidity punctuating the middle. The crème patisserie of the oak will calm. Excellent aftertaste. Drink from 2030-2044.

Moderate wood is present on the overtly floral-suffused nose of mostly white fleshed fruit, especially pear and apple, along with notes of citrus confit, acacia and oyster shell whiffs. There is excellent richness and concentration to the markedly powerful larger-scaled flavors that coat the palate on the overtly stony, dry and compact finale. At least moderate patience will be required as this is pretty tightly wound. Drink 2032+.

The 2022 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a surprisingly austere bouquet that demands some coaxing from the glass. At the moment, it is outperformed by the Valmur. The palate is fresh and saline, with wonderful acidity, touches of peach and Clementine towards its graceful finish. Long and tender. I would give this time in bottle for the aromatics to open.

60/40 tank/barrel, not assembled yet. A fine bright mid lemon yellow. A nobility of white fruit across the nose, with considerable intensity on the palate, more trenchant acidity perhaps, fairly full bodied and a long gracious finish. By the time this is bottled in January it should be a very fine wine. The aftertaste is already extremely promising. Drink from 2030-2045.

Half tank, half wood, will be blended very soon now. Clean clear pale lemon yellow. The nose shows a lightly salty character with a block of orchard fruit behind.

This is also aromatically cool with its pretty mix of pear confit, mineral reduction, floral and more obvious Chablis typicity. There is a really lovely sense of vibrancy to the energetic middleweight flavors that possess a gorgeous texture while exuding a fine bead of minerality on the long, dry and beautifully well-balanced finale. This is pretty much textbook Vaudésir that is very much a wine of finesse. Drink through 2030+.

A slightly cooler nose reflects notes of white pepper and a touch of the exotic while the wood treatment, while subtle, is a bit more noticeable. The old vines are in evidence as the mouthfeel of the medium-bodied flavors is markedly denser as the sappy extract coats the palate while buffering the moderately firm acid spine shaping the very dry, more complex and slightly long finale. Lovely. Drink through 2029+.

The 2022 Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru Cuvée Guy Moreau has a stricter bouquet than the regular cuvée: petrichor and gunflint underlying the veneer of yellow plum and citrus lemon.

This is also reduced and toasty on the nose. Otherwise, the rich, powerful and imposingly concentrated larger-scaled flavors brim with both sappy dry extract and minerality on the massively persistent, balanced and agreeably dry finale.

The 2021 Chablis Les Clos Clos des Hospices feels more closed than the regular cuvée, but there is just a little more flintiness that develops with aeration in the glass.

The 2021 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru was taken from tank rather than barrel. This was primal on the nose and difficult to read. The palate is more expressive: finely tuned with a fine bead of acidity, tensile and saline, it does not possess the complexity of Raveneau's Les Clos tasted an hour or two before, but it has great penetration and a compelling flinty finish. Excellent. Drink 2025-2050.

The racy, intense and tension-filled middleweight flavors possess a bracing salinity on the dry, chiseled and firm finale. This is lovely and a wine that should also repay mid-term patience. Drink through 2029+.

There is just one barrel of the 2021 Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru instead of the usual two and a half that nature bestowed three years earlier. It has quite a hefty reduction on the nose that makes it difficult to read (perplexing Fabien Moreau). The palate is well balanced with a forthright, marmalade-tinged entry. Quite strict with fine acidity, it delivers a citrus-fresh, precise finish without a long tail on the aftertaste. Good luck finding a bottle. Drink 2025-2048.

Just one barrel. A paler lemon colour with green reflections. Much livelier on the nose, quite classy with a good detail here, fresh with medium depth., the finish spins out quite well. Less in white flowers and fruit than usual, a little more in fresh citrus. Drink from 2026-2031.

Here there is no reductive funk to the pretty and very floral aromas of spice, pear, apple and quinine that are trimmed in more prominent wood. The old vines are very much in evidence on the concentrated, palate coating and rich bigger-bodied flavors that possess focused power on the saline and intensely bitter zest-suffused finish. This should be excellent in time. Drink through 2028+.

The 2021 Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru Cuvée Guy Moreau comprises of just five used barrels this year. It has a fine bouquet, a little more mineral-driven than the regular cuvée with touches of wet pavement and citrus lemon. With good balance and acidity, the palate is fresh, taut and a little more compact towards the finish but with slightly more salinity to get the tastebuds going. Very fine. Drink 2024-2038.

This and the Grands Crus were made entirely in wood so as to keep the existing stock of barrels full of wine. Pale yellow, with a little butteriness from the wood. This slightly dominates the palate with a note of acidity to finish. Will sort itself out in due course. Drink from 2025-2028.

The 2020 Chablis Village has a pretty bouquet that is quite floral in style and complements the yellow fruit. The palate is well balanced with touches of sour lemon and tangerine; the 2020 is fairly high in acidity towards a finish that just pulls up a little short at the moment. Drink 2022-2027.

Pale lemon and lime, floral and fruity at the same time, balanced and cheerful, attractively stony behind, good concentration in the end despite the accessibility of the start. Lightly lemony.

Stony, with flavors of lemon, herbs and white flowers. On the lean side and steely, yet persistent and juicy on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2026.

The 2020 Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru, which was bottled just before the harvest, has an attractive bouquet with light flinty, earthy aromas. The palate is well balanced with orange pith and touches of mango, fine acidity and harmonious with a twist of bitter lemon that enlivens the finish. Fine length here. Drink 2023-2034.

Fine fresh primrose. A steely nose, some of the lemon notes again, light but fine. There is steel in the backbone. Lightly stony, a touch of the marine. Fine length again. The lemon is quite pronounced.

This has a fleshy, round profile, despite vivid acidity keeping this defined, leaving ample room for yellow plum, melon and apple flavors, with additional details of mineral and seashore. Fine balance and length. Drink now through 2028.

Once again the nose reflects just enough wood to be worth pointing out though it easily allows the slightly riper if otherwise similar aromas to shine. There is also excellent intensity to the dense, powerful and punchy broad-shouldered and sappy flavors that display outstanding length on the balanced and slightly more persistent finale. The regular cuvée is a bit racier and this is a bit weightier and more powerful, so these two wines offer, in essence, a qualitative choice. Drink 2030+.

The 2020 Chablis Les Clos Clos des Hospices has a lovely bouquet of white peach, citrus peel and flinty notes, all vibrant and tensile. The palate is taut and fresh on the entry, featuring lime and citrus lemon flavors, although the finish doesn’t quite have the depth of the Les Clos at the moment. I might actually prefer the regular cuvée this year. Drink 2024-2042.

The paler colour of the two and slightly fleshier on the nose. More substantial but less Chablisien? There are some attractive citrus notes in the mix. Fair persistence, but the Hospices version is being a little shy at the moment.

Slightly more apparent wood (though still nicely subtle) is present on the overtly floral-suffused nose where notes of lemongrass, mineral reduction and iodine add breadth. There is impressive volume to the powerful and delineated yet reasonably refined larger-scaled flavors that where the texture is akin to sucking on tiny rocks. The balanced bone-dry finish is refreshingly crisp in no small part thanks to the citrus-tinged acidity. Drink 2030+.

The 2020 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru is clean and fresh on the nose, a little more austere than the 2019 yet beautifully defined with perhaps more mineralité. The taut, fresh palate has wonderful salinity and a vibrant finish that belies the warm summer. Drink 2025-2048.

The regular Clos gave a better yield than the Hospices. Classy bouquet, as ever on the understated side. On the palate the quality shows, a little bit yellower than sometimes but neither exuberant nor heated. Very persistent, as indeed a Clos should be.

Once again there is admirably discreet wood influence hovering in the background of the essence of pear, green fruit, seashore and saltwater brine aromas. There is outstanding intensity to the muscular, powerful and more concentrated big-bodied flavors that conclude in a super-sleek, clean and bone-dry finale that delivers sneaky good length as the finish terminates and then reemerges. Lovely and very Valmur in style. Drink 2028+.

The 2020 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru came from a sample taken directly from vat, and the nose was too primal to read. The palate is fresh and evidences fine concentration, displaying lovely pear and peach notes toward the harmonious finish. I suspect this will come around nicely once in bottle. Drink 2025-2048.

Here too there is just enough wood to mention framing ripe aromas of smoky mineral reduction, prominent floral nuances and iodine whiffs. The mouthfeel of the lilting medium weight flavors is also notably refined with equally good punch suffusing the sneaky long and well-balanced finale. This should reward moderate patience. Drink 2027+.

The 2020 Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru displays more complexity and nuance than the Vaudésir at the moment and heightened mineralité. The palate is well balanced with a saline entry, tightening up toward the finish, but I like the classicism and the sapid nature of this Blanchot. Drink 2024-2045.

Clear pale yellow. The nose is less extrovert than some. A fine, classy bouquet, still not demonstrative, currently a slightly dry finish behind the flesh, some white pear notes, restrained but certainly very fine with good acidity.

Once again there is a touch of fruitiness to the more floral-inflected aromas of citrus, iodine and quinine.

Drink 2026+.

The 2020 Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru Cuvée Guy Moreau is very expressive on the nose, not dissimilar to the regular cuvée: quite floral, with honeysuckle and jasmine, but a little spicier, perhaps. The palate is nicely poised, tensile and harmonious, delivering blood orange and apricot notes on the entry and a touch of grilled almond and crushed stone on the finish. Very good potential. Drink 2025-2045.

35% has been made in barrel, now blended. The nose is more backward, less lemony, than the regular Vaillons, with more flesh. Still fine boned, but with density behind. The white fruit just tinged by a little lemon verbena, balanced and long.

Subtle but not imperceptible wood surrounds the ripe and fresh white and yellow orchard fruit scents that are nuanced by hints of tidal pool and iodine. There is again excellent intensity and delineation to the dense and rather serious medium weight flavors that also exude a bracing salinity on the impressively long and more complex finale. The Guy Moreau is usually a bit better than the regular cuvée but in 2019 this appears to offer a substantial step up in quality.

The 2019 Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru Cuvée Guy Moreau is matured in 1- to 4-year-old barrels for 12–14 months. It has a lovely bouquet, quite complex, the orange pith and lemon verbena combining nicely with flinty scents. The palate is well balanced with an energetic opening, a slightly honeyed texture and a judicious dab of spice. Very harmonious all the way through to the finish. There is a sense of panache about this Vaillon that is very compelling.

Here the slightly riper nose reflects exotic fruit aromas that include notes of mango, passion fruit and white peach that are trimmed in notes of petrol, quinine and shellfish. There is even better density to the sappy dry extract-rich big-bodied flavors that flash good power if perhaps a bit less minerality on the wonderfully textured, long and well-balanced finale. This isn't quite as structured as the regular cuvée and should be approachable after only 4 to 5 years of cellaring.

The 2019 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru Clos des Hospices comes from 45- to 60-year-old vines that yielded 40hl this year, and is matured in a mixture of 1- to 4-year-old barrels. It has a gorgeous bouquet of honeysuckle, yellow flowers, crushed stone and light quince aromas. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and crisp, with touches of almond and dried honey toward the persistent finish. Superb.

All in barrel, just blended. One new in 11, will now stay in tank till January. Really pretty palest green yellow. Little waves of flavour, good grip at the back, 13.3, but tastes a touch more, ripe spicy fruit, touch less acidity. More yellow plum notes to the fruit profile and summer flowers.
