2017 Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Nuits St Georges Clos des Grandes Vignes Blanc Premier Cru

Burgundy, FRANCE
$699. 00
Bottle
$8388.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
A background application of wood frames ripe and fresh white-fleshed fruit aromas that exhibit a whisper of exotic character. The attractively textured and fleshy flavors possess very good length if only average depth on the ever-so-mildly warm finish. Note that this very forward effort should also drink well young.

Allen Meadows - Burghound

The 2017 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Clos des Grandes Vignes Blanc had seen no sulfur dioxide between the vintage and September 2018, as Liger-Belair believes in letting the wine get quite oxidative before bringing it back to a more reductive state later in its élevage. Offering up aromas of waxy lemon rind, bruised apples and honeycomb, the wine is medium to full-bodied, textural and phenolic, with chewy structuring extract and a long, mouthwatering finish.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 2019)

The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Grands Vignes Blanc 1er Cru, matured in around 28% new oak, has an attractive bouquet with scents of brioche, honey and yellow flowers plus a hint of custard creams in the background. The palate is well balanced with a creamy opening, a little low in acidity compared to recent vintages, but displays fine purity toward the finish. Drink over the next decade.

Cellar: Drink now - 2 Years (2018-2020)

ABV: 12.5%

Domaine du Nozay at Sainte Gemme on the northern edge of the Sancerre Appellation was established from scratch by Philippe de Benoist, whose brother-in-law is Aubert de Villaine, co-owner of the famous Burgundy house, Domaine de la Romanee Conti. With a generally greener flavour profile and showing more restraint the Sauvignon Blancs of Sancerre are a complete contrast in style to their pungent and exuberant New Zealand counterparts.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a slight tinge of green to the edgings and a watery hue. Notions of lime and green apple are overlaid by fresh herb notes followed by light scents of herbaceous grassy characters and wet stone. Nicely balanced with an elegant rounded mouthfeel the palate has flavours of limes, fresh herb infusions and citrus over wet stone characters and a subtle grassiness. Finishes dry with fresh acidity and an aftertaste of lime, fresh herbs, citrus, subtle grassy asparagus and stony mineral characters.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.

Cellar: Drink now - 8 Years (2021-2029)

ABV: 14%

Closure: Cork

Domaine Pegau Cuvee A Tempo is made from a blend of equal parts, Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Roussanne. The wine comes from parcels that are farmed using 100% organic farming techniques, and made its debut with the 2014 vintage. Vinification and ageing is performed in a combination of French oak barrels, stainless steel tanks and cement egg shaped vats. The production is quite small, with about 100 cases being produced in total each year.

Bright yellow straw colour with tinges of pale gold around the outskirts and a pale straw hue. Aromas of ripe apricot and peach meld into subtle honeycomb, lemon butter, crème brulee and cinnamon notes. Rich, full and creamy in the mouth yet showing plenty of focus, luscious apricot, peach and honeysuckle flavours overlay bees wax, crème brulee, light butterscotch and spicy cinnamon characters. Finishes with great freshness. Understated in its power with a long spicy aftertaste. Give it at least a few more years to build further in the bottle.
Cellar 6-8 years.

There are 1,200 bottles of the 2017 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc Cuvée A Tempo, which was made in a combination of barriques and concrete egg. Equal parts Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, it's less toasty than the 2018, with crisp, focused citrus notes and tremendous length on the finish. It should drink well for a decade or more.
95 points
Joe Czerwinski - Wine Advocate (Aug 2019)

The 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée A Tempo is more Burgundian, with less overt concentration but more salty minerality as well as a more focused, chiseled style on the palate. Beautiful white flowers, stone fruits, salty minerality, and spice notes all define the nose, and it’s concentrated, structured, and incredibly long on the palate. This is a brilliant, concentrated, incredibly Burgundian styled white from this estate that’s going to keep for 2-3 decades. Both 2017 and 2018 Cuvée A Tempo are brilliant wines, and which you prefer will depend more on your stylistic preference than any difference in quality between the wines.

Brilliant very pale straw colour with a watery hue. Fresh peach, apricot and pear fruits engulf the nostrils followed by notions of honeysuckle, light quince, traces of cinnamon and spice. Intense and vibrant in its feel, delightful pear, fresh apricot and white peach fruits possess a wonderful freshness. Subtle elements of honeysuckle, citrus and spicy quince sit underneath. Vibrant acidity carries the fresh fruits leading into a long, lively and richly fruited finish. Will build texture and put on weight with bottle age.

Pegau's 2019 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc Cuvée Réservée is almost Burgundian in character, the way it balances upfront generosity with mouthwatering length. The flavors are different, offering hints of crushed stone, underripe pineapple, white peach and dried spices, then this medium to full-bodied wine adds vaguely chalky textural elements on the long finish. Silky and streamlined, it does a wonderful job of preserving freshness throughout.

2019 Domaine du Pelican Arbois Chardonnay en Barbi

Jura, FRANCE
$130. 00
Bottle
$1560.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
They have been farming this En Barbi parcel since 2012. It is a south-facing plot, sheltered from the winds due to its location at the end of an amphitheatre of hills around it. Its southerly exposure accounts for its early and complete maturation at harvest time. The soil is silty clay over grey marls, resulting in excellent drainage and low risk of hydric stress. En Barbi was replanted by the previous farmer and the vines are approximately 15 years old. For several years, they have been vinifying En Barbi separately from the other Chardonnay plots. In 2016, they decided to bottle approximately 300 magnums of En Barbi Chardonnay. From 2018 they released En Barbi Chardonnay worldwide in bottles and magnums. In 2019, because of the low yields, ageing was in 350-litre and 500-litre barrels only.
This smells rather different from the Grand Curoulet Chardonnay, still salty but now also more creamy. Ripe citrus and a light floral note is deceptively soft and gentle, with just a hint of oak spice but minerally spice too, like crushed rocks. On the palate, this is a little more rounded than the Grand Curoulet Chardonnay, filling the mouth with a lovely combination of roundness and stony freshness and spice. Incredibly fresh on the finish, as if the cloak of richness were pulled back at the end to reveal the spine. Very long. Magnificently building and persisting in the mouth. Powerful and elegant. Drink 2022 - 2032.

Bottle

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
This cuvée has existed since the beginning of Domaine du Pélican, in 2012. The Chardonnay cuvée is made from several different parcels of vineyards located in Arbois and Montigny-lès-Arsures. In addition, they produce two single-vineyard Chardonnays (En Barbi and Grand Curoulet). The vineyards sit mostly on hilltops, over marly soils. Their elevation is the highest of the estate (close to 400 m). One vineyard is on the west-facing slope of the Revermont and is covered with fallen rocks (éboulis calcaires) of Bajocian limestone. Age of the vines is between 10 and 45 years. The grapes are lightly crushed and then immediately pressed. Fermentation takes place in barrels and foudres. Élevage is in 350- and 500-litre barrels (of which 10% are new oak) for about 50% of the crop. The balance is in foudres.
Full bottle 1,290 g. Very pale gold. A light leesy note, with a sour citrus freshness, spice in extreme moderation, and a whiff of fresh pears. Super-crisp acidity, intense lemon and grapefruit and powerful salty-sour freshness. On the long finish, here's a surprising depth and richness and a tiny hint of struck match suggesting reduction, but it is very slight. Wonderfully pure, direct and mouth-watering. So much more than Chardonnay. Drink 2021 - 2025.

$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
Savagnin ouillé, sometimes called Traminer, or Fleur de Savagnin, is the topped-up version of Savagnin, one that Domaine du Pélican has been producing since 2012. In Jura, the most common use of Savagnin is for oxidative wines (sous voile), either vin jaune (which requires more than 6 years in barrel under flor), or simply Savagnin (2 to 5 years in barrel under flor). This cuvée is made of many different parcels located in Arbois and Montigny-lès-Arsures. The soils are very diverse: multi-coloured marls; fallen limestone rocks (éboulis calcaires) over grey marls; and marly limestone. The grapes are lightly crushed before being pressed, and fermentation is in foudres and barrels. One-third of the crop macerates with the skins for one night before being pressed. Ageing is in 500-litre barrels with 20% new oak for just over half of the crop. The balance is in foudre and vats.
Complex mix of fruit aromas from tart citrus to more exotic notes as well as a more green herbal side. A little bit salty and stony/mineral too. On the palate, creamy, smooth and mouth-filling, yet with fabulous and vibrant acidity. Taut and dry but not lean or mean thanks to those fruit flavours. Long, creamy finish without any sweetness other than fruit flavour and no obvious oak. May well age a lot longer. Drink 2021 - 2026.

2018 Domaine du Pelican Arbois Chardonnay en Barbi

Jura, FRANCE
$125. 00
Bottle
$1500.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Domaine du Pélican are based in Montigny-les-Arsures near Arbois in the Jura and was started in 2012 by Guillaume d’Angerville of Domaine Marquis d’Angerville in Volnay, Burgundy, and François Duvivier, régisseur at Domaine Marquis d’Angerville. The Domaine farms high quality terroirs located in and around the city of Arbois. The plots are among Jura’s finest, the very best being En Barbi and Grand Curoulet. Terroirs here are a mix of marly clay and gravels with varying exposures from north to south, are even more complex than in Burgundy. Whilst a broadly Burgundian approach is employed to wine-making, there is no doubting the individuality and Jurassien personality of the wines. The d’Angerville approach in the cellar has always been light-touch, one which is toned down even more for Domaine du Pélican, little new oak is used and élévage is shorter, lasting twelve months as opposed to eighteen in Volnay. Tanks and foudres are employed for ageing the reds, 500 litre casks for the Savagnin and traditional Burgundian barriques for the Chardonnay. The whites are both “topped up” as opposed to the more common oxidative Jura method.

Other Reviews....
The 2018 Arbois Chardonnay En Barbi races out of the glass with a stunning display of energy and mineral-drenched energy. Lemon oil, white flowers, almond, chamomile and crushed rocks are some of the many notes that infuse the 2018 with tons of character. Ample and yet sculpted, the 2018 is a wine of total class. In this lineup, the En Barbi is marked by a brilliant aromatic upper register. In a word: dazzling!

First bottled separately in 2016 (magnums only) and for the first time in 75-cl bottles for the 2018 vintage, although they have been farming this En Barbi parcel since 2012 and vinifying it separately. A south-facing plot at up to 400 m, sheltered from the winds due to its location at the end of an amphitheatre of hills surrounding it. The soil is silty clay over grey marl, with excellent drainage and low risk of hydric stress. En Barbi was replanted by the previous farmer and the vines are approximately 15 years old. Aged in 350- and 500-litre barrels (50% of total); 30% in foudre and 20% in vats.
Riper than the Grand Curoulet, fuller in the mouth, but more herbal too and a little bit spicy. This has a terrific combination of depth and mouth-watering freshness as well as great persistence. A definite fruit sweetness on the nose and then marked freshness and saltiness on the long, long finish.

The 2018 Arbois Savagnin Oiullé is fabulous. It presents a beguiling mélange of dried apricot, white flowers, crushed flowers, marzipan, sage and chamomile. The savory profile works so well with the wine’s oily, textured feel, while a hint of reduction adds character. Even with all of its obvious exotic character, the 2018 retains more than enough freshness and minerality to give the wine a real feeling of vibrancy that is impossible to miss. Quite frankly, this is an eye-opening wine.

Savagnin ouillé is the topped-up version of Savagnin, sometimes labelled Fleur de Savagnin or referred to by the variety’s synonym Traminer. They have been producing this style since their first vintage in 2012. This cuvée is made from many different parcels located in Arbois and Montigny-lès-Arsures. The soils are very diverse: multi-coloured Triassic marls; fallen rocks (calcareous scree) of Bajocian limestone over grey marl; and Liassic marly limestone.

Aged in 500-litre barrels with 2% new oak for just over half of the crop. The balance is in foudre and vats.
This has notable intensity to the aroma, a display of varietal Savagnin character: green fruit, ripe creamy green apple. Intense, deep, powerful but so elegant, a touch spicy. Intense with herbal freshness. Fabulous depth, energy and persistence.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 21, 2022)
The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru has a slightly creamy, frangipane-tinged bouquet. It's well-defined, though perhaps it needs a little more terroir and mineralité to come through. The 2020 becomes quite feisty with aeration. The palate is well-balanced with a slightly tangy entry, fresh and vibrant with a killer line of acidity. Citrus-fresh towards the finish with just a touch of blood orange, it reveals a very sustained aftertaste matched with a salinity that beckons another sip. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. Drink 2025-2048.

From 80 year old vines, small berries and bunches, low yields. Pale primrose.

Jasper Morris MW - Inside Burgundy
60-year-old vines deliver plenty of richness, but there is also a very fresh side here, with a lemony fruit, a mineral edge and a hint of smoke - very 'Puligny'. The texture recalls the density of a Meursault with the crisp nature of a typical Puligny and it's a charming balance. Dujac farms a parcel of 0.62ha in Puligny Combettes near the border with Meursault. The grapes are lightly crushed and fermented in cask (20% new), where it will stay for 16 months (with a further six in tank). Drink 2025 - 2040.

The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has a fragrant bouquet, pure in style, displaying a mixture of yellow and white fruit laced with crushed stone and subtle honey aromas. It maintains freshness and tension. The palate is fresh on the entry, tensile and lively, though not delivering the same degree of complexity as the preceding flight from Les Combettes.

Mostly young vines. Light, pale primrose colour. After the scintillating Morey St-Denis Monts Luisants, the bouquet here seems a little subdued. Sweeter ripe fruit with a bit of oak and good acidity behind. Attractive. Drink from 2026-2033.

Jasper Morris MW - Inside Burgundy
This is a larger parcel (1.16ha) than Combettes and fairly high on the slope, however the youthful vines here give a wine that is easy and forward, with ripe apple and pear fruit, a suggestion of marzipan, plus a touch of honey. The texture is approachable and open, with plenty of weight and noticeably less freshness than the Combettes. More a wine of broad appeal than one for connoisseurs. Drink 2025 - 2040.

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru contains around two-thirds young vines and one-third 20- to 30-year-old vines. It has a pleasant green apple and orange pith bouquet, although it lacks the penetration of the 2017 tasted a year earlier. The palate is taut and fresh, with citrus lemon and a lovely saline note that defines the final half. Not an overly complex Folatières, but it will give pleasure over the next decade, possibly more.

There is a whiff of the exotic in the form of pineapple wisps that combine with notes of acacia blossom and various white-fleshed fruit aromas. The lush and opulent yet relatively refined medium-bodied flavors possess slightly better mid-palate density, all wrapped in a youthfully austere but not quite as dry finale. This isn't classically styled but there's clearly more here.

Here too there is a vague suggestion of the exotic to the aromas nut oil, pear liqueur and floral nuances that are trimmed in just enough wood to notice.

Burgundy, FRANCE

Bottle
$1019.88 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Domaine Duroché is one of the brightest stars to appear in the Burgundy landscape over recent years, and with numerous comparisons to Domaine Rousseau the wines are now incredibly hard to come by. While the name is relatively new to the world, the family have been making wine in Gevrey Chambertin since 1953, and early on they aquired fantastic plots of Gevrey villages, premier cru and Grand Cru including Chambertin Clos de Beze. The wines are incredibly pure, have excellent concentration and depth, and show a fantastic translation of site.

While Pierre Duroché is known for his red wines, he's also rather adept at whites as evidenced with this Bourgogne Cote d'Or Chardonnay. Fruit for this wine comes from the lieu dit of Grands Champs in Gevrey-Chambertin that was planted between 2003-2005. This is an attractive and pure Chardonnay that will drink well early in its life.

There is a lactic hint to the lightly reduced nose so I would recommend giving this some air first. There is excellent density and intensity to the middleweight flavors that conclude in a chiseled, youthfully austere and lemony finish. This is awkward but I suspect that the recent bottling has upset the balance and my rating offers the benefit of the doubt. Drink through 2026+.

The 2021 Bourgogne Blanc has a more pithy nose than its peers, with touches of wild peach and candle wax complementing the malic scents. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, hints of Clementine and sour lemon with fine tension on the simple, yet effective finish. Drink 2023-2028.

Pale lemon colour nothing much showing up front on the nose, feels like optimum ripeness. Certainly, the fruit builds very well on the plate with a little sucrosity, then waves of white fruit behind. Plenty to enjoy here in this Chassagne made on white wine soil. Good length.

Classic aromas of ripe apple, hazelnut and butter - it's a bit of a fat boy. Yet, it should definitely please fans of rich white Burgundy. Sauzet farms a half-hectare here, down the slope from Bâtard and just north of premier cru Vide Bourse. The soils are the same type of clay one finds in the grand crus, but it lacks a bit of finesse. Drink 2025 - 2040.

Bursting with aromas of citrus zest, smoke, fresh peach and white flowers, Sauzet's 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts is medium to full-bodied, satiny and vibrant, its textural attack segueing into a delicately fleshy mid-palate, before concluding with a chalky finish.

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru comes from two parcels totaling 0.70 hectares, on deeper, more clayey soils than other crus. It has a strict and quite correct bouquet, very focused and stoic at the moment, with flinty, petrichor aromas reluctantly emerging from the glass. The palate is very well balanced, offering pretty orange zest, quince and hints of pawpaw on the entry. A little spicier than Sauzet’s other Premier Crus and commendably persistent on the finish. Very fine and good aging potential.

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Perrières 1er Cru comes from a single plot that touches Les Referts, the vines around 45 years old. This has a little more richness on the nose with candle wax/resin aromas joining the malic fruit, perhaps even a little "Chassagne" in style. The palate is well balanced with, again, a little more depth and weight than the other Premier Crus from Sauzet, though it does not quite display the same nervosité on the finish. I commend the spiciness on the aftertaste, but I hope this will develop more tension by the time of bottling.

A little pale lemon colour, the nose is weighty but not quite so fresh as Referts. Intense on the palate, it’s the wood which has not quite integrated so well: apparently this is usual at this stage. There is good acidity here with a low pH but the whole has not yet found its harmony.

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes is performing well in bottle, unwinding in the glass with notes of white flowers, pear and peach, framed by a deft touch of toasty new oak. Full-bodied, lively and textural, as I observed last year, it's the most reserved of Sauzet's premiers crus; but the inherently open, charming style of the vintage means that it will drink at its peak sooner than the more structured 2017.

An interesting nose reluctantly offers up hints of Asian-style tea and lemon rind along with a mix of white orchard fruit, lavender and a whiff of oak. There is slightly better density to the precise, intense and lightly mineral-inflected medium weight flavors that culminate in a clean, dry and linear finish. This is slightly better than it usually is, at least potentially and a wine that should repay mid-term keeping.

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Hameau de Blagny 1er Cru comes from a small parcel of 70-year-old vines on limestone soils just under La Garenne. It certainly displays more intensity and amplitude on the nose compared to La Garenne, offering enticing scents of quince, lemon zest and wet limestone, the 15% oak nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with a very harmonious opening, veins of apricot and white peach fusing with the citrus peel and maintaining precision all the way through to the finish. Excellent.

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet La Garenne 1er Cru comes from just under a single hectare of vines next to Blagny.

This is aromatically similar to the La Garenne but with even more citrus influence. The palate impression of the medium-bodied flavors is not quite as tension-filled but there is a bit more mid-palate fat, all wrapped in a bone dry and slightly more complex finale.

Pale straw-yellow. Deeper-pitched on the nose than the Bienvenue, offering scents of yellow fruits, earth and clove; one can smell the flesh here. Very rich, tactile and smooth, conveying a strong impression of dry extract to its yellow orchard fruit and spice flavors. The wine's greater thickness of texture is leavened by firm supporting acidity. With its serious weight and structural underpinning, this slightly saline wine will need several years of bottle aging. The yield here was about 40 hectoliters per hectare, according to Benoît Riffault.
