2022  Chassagne-Montrachet

Archaeological findings confirm the ancient village of Chassagne used to be occupied by a Roman society. The Romans planted the vines and built the city, hence the name "Romanée." From a 0.81 hectare parcel of vines planted in 1957 at a higher altitude of Chassagne, protected from the north wind by a stand of trees. Aged 15 months in 228 and 350 L oak barrels, 35% new. ---- "Here too there is the barest suggestion of the exotic lurking in the background of more floral-suffused aromas of Granny Smith apple, spice and a similar hint of wet stone. The middleweight flavors are not as concentrated but they are noticeably finer, particularly on the overtly stony, chiseled, youthfully austere and superbly long finale. This excellent effort will also need to develop more depth but that should merely be a matter of exercising a bit of patience." - Sweet Spot Outstanding, Burghound ---- "Mid lemon yellow. The bouquet shows an extra degree of ripe fruit, and a little less the limestone freshness of Caillerets. This is more backward, with an additional intensity, significantly so. Grows across the palate, still fresh limestone to finish, but with an extra éclat. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted Oct 2023." - 4/5 stars, Jasper Morris MW

2023  Chassagne-Montrachet

2020  Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge

"Here the nose is displaying some post-bottling reduction so give it some air if you're going to try a bottle young. More interesting are the succulent and round yet decidedly powerful medium-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract that helps to buffer the notably firmer tannic spine shaping the lengthy finish. This is also quite good though note that it will need at least a few years of keeping first." - 91pts/Outstanding, Burghound ---- "Just a little bit more intense in purple but not much. The fruit is balanced and at the perfect pitch of ripeness. Much more powerful on the palate with some black cherry notes as well as a little red fruit, mix of tannins and acidity, neither too prominent. Very different in style from Clos St-Jean but equally a success. Oak shows a little more. 13.3% alcohol Tasted Oct 2021." - 4/5 stars, Jasper Morris MW

2023  1er Cru Meursault-Perrieres

2021  Puligny-Montrachet 1er Les Pucelles

Puligny-Montrachet 1er Les Pucelles ---- "In contrast to all of the other wines in the range, this is quite firmly reduced and revealing nothing of interest so be sure to allow this some time to air if you're tempted to crack a bottle young. More appealing are the gorgeously textured and vibrant medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract that also buffers the moderately tightly wound finish where a touch of austerity slowly emerges. This pretty effort could use better depth but a few years of bottle aging should be helpful." - Outstanding, Burghound

2023  Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru

2022  

2020  1er Cru Climat du Val

1er Cru Climat du Val ---- "More interesting are the rich, delicious and relatively generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the bone-dry finale. This refreshing effort is certainly pretty though it lacks a bit of overall depth." - Burghound

2023  Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru

2021  

"In bottle. A baby Chassagne on the nose, along with a touch of reduction. Good backbone, some riper fruits at the back along with a touch of wood, with the thread of acidity of the vintage to finish. Holds on well at the back. Drink from 2024-2026. Tasted Oct 2022." - 4/5 star, Jasper Morris
