2019  Monthelie Blanc 'Les Sous Roches'

Monthelie Blanc 'Les Sous Roches' Soil: Oxford white marl. The extremely draining nature of the soil, combined with the repeated climatic incidents that this area has experienced for several years has made the production of this wine long and complicated. Exposition: East. The vines are planted on a very steep slope beneath a rock bank (“Les Sous Roches”). This dominant position offers a magnificent view of the vineyards of Monthélie, Meursault, and the Bresse plain. First Planting: In 2012 from massive selections of Chardonnays and qualitative clones. Plant Density: 11,000 vines/ha Harvest: Very small first harvest in 2017 (10 hl / ha), 6 years after planting. Vinification: Pneumatic pressing of the whole harvest. Natural yeasts. Alcoholic (11 months) and malolactic fermentation in barrels (30% new). Light fining and filtration on pure cellulose plates. Tasting Notes: Pure with little sulfur. Dry, clear, & precise character. Subtle fruit, prominent mineral flavors, and firm acidity.

2019  Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru

"Darker crimson and the bouquet offers a darker berry fruit as well, less floral, more muscle. Dark raspberry. Jean-Pierre thinks of this vineyard as Côte de Nuits in configuration, reminding him of Chambolle. Succulent long and deep. Plenty of guts here, rather more solid than most Chambolles I would suggest. Tasted: May 2021." - 4/5 stars Japser Morris MW ---- "A gentle dollop of wood sets off the appealingly floral suffused nose of exotic tea, mineral reduction and orange peel. The middle weight flavors are not quite as concentrated though they're finer and more detailed on the beautifully textured flavors that exude evident minerality on the balanced, saline and sneaky long finish. This is also really lovely and well-worth considering." - Sweet spot Outstanding, Burghound

2018  Pouilly-Fuisse

"Here too generous wood stops just short of fighting with the ripe but fresh nose that is composed by softly exotic notes of white peach, floral and mineral reduction. There is evident power and impressive richness to the full-bodied and palate coating big-bodied flavors that deliver excellent length on the sappy and slightly warm finish. This typically ages very well and should age in 2018." - 90-93/Sweet Spot Outstanding, Burghound

2014  Pouilly-Fuisse

Les Brules -- "Generous but not dominant wood frames a broad-ranging nose of citrus, pear, white peach, apple and floral scents. The delicious and punchy middle weight flavors possess slightly better depth and length on the balanced finale. As usual this is an extremely rich and generously proportioned effort but one where the bright and moderately firm acidity serve to maintain the balance. As such this should be more than capable of repaying 4 to 6 years of cellar time." - 91pts/Outstanding Burghound

2016  Pouilly-Fuisse

"The 2016 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Brûlés is a richer, ampler wine than the Combottes, wafting from the glass with notes of musky peach, citrus blossom and a spicy framing of new oak. On the palate, it's full-bodied, deep and foursquare, with good tangy acids and a saline finish despite its scale and power. It's matured in 100% new wood, but it has digested it remarkably well." - 92pts WA

2019  Les Corvees

1er Les Corvees ---- "Fresh, cool and airy aromas are comprised by notes of plum, black raspberry and earth. There is both better volume and mid-palate density to the delicious medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a lingering and more complex finish where the only nit is a touch of warmth." - 89-91pts BH
