2021  Bourgogne Blanc

"A cooler and more floral-suffused nose speaks mostly of white orchard fruit and more subtle lemon-lime influence. The delicious middleweight flavors also possess impressive mid-palate density while offering well above average depth and persistence. This is also excellent." - Outstanding Top Value, Burghound

2019  Meursault

"Soft wood sets off pretty and nicely layered aromas of poached pear and citrus. Once again there is a borderline painful intensity to the mineral-driven and refined flavors that display outstanding length, and in particular for a villages level wine, on the balanced and youthfully austere finish where the only reproach is a touch of warmth. This is first rate and highly recommended." - 90-93/Outstanding Top Value, Burghound

2021  La Vigne de 1945

La Vigne de 1945 ---- "This is also pungently reduced with the only perceptible aromas that of wood toast. The medium weight flavors are not quite as dense though they are noticeably finer with stunningly good intensity along with excellent delineation on the even more complex and lingering finale. This is terrific." - 91-93/Outstanding Top Value, Burghound

2020  

From Les Pellans, just below Charmes 1er Cru and adjacent to Puligny-Montrachet. Vines planted in 1945. This has been a separate bottling from the VV cuvée since the 2015 vintage. Gentle pressing. Aged 18 months in neutral barrels. ---- "This is at once slightly fresher and a bit more elegant as well with its floral and citrus-suffused nose that display background nuances of browned butter. There is excellent density and better precision to the middle weight flavors that culminate in a youthfully austere and lemony finish that is balanced, long and more complex. This is also an excellent villages and heartily recommended." - Outstanding, Top Value Burghound

2020  Les Charmes du Dessus

Les Charmes du Dessus - "Restrained but exceptionally fresh aromas are very Meursault in character with their nuances of acacia, hazelnut and white orchard fruit. The dense and opulent medium-bodied flavors brim with dry extract that coats the palate on the more refined and markedly more complex finale that is dry to the point of austerity. This is packed with development potential and at least moderate patience is strongly recommended." - 92-94pts/Outstanding, Burghound

2019  

"Moderate reduction pushes the ripe fruit aromas to the background. The very rich full-bodied flavors possess impressive intensity while displaying excellent length on the linear, youthfully austere and very serious finish. This is a very fine Meursault villages and worth checking out." - 89-92/Outstanding Top Value, Burghound

2021  

"Pungent aromas of wood toast and reduction mask the underlying fruit. There is outstanding density to the delicious, caressing and exceptionally punchy larger-scaled flavors that exude evident minerality on the clean, dry and beautifully long finale. This is unusually good for its level." - 90-93/Outstanding Top Value, Burghound

2020  

"Taking its name from the vineyard's inclination, Lavallée's 2020 Chablis 45° reveals scents of citrus zest, white flowers, Anjou pear and fresh pastry. Medium to full-bodied, chiseled and concentrated, it's elegant and penetrating, with a satiny attack and an electric finish. It's full of promise." - 92pts WA

2020  Chablis

"The 2020 Chablis Les Ardillers confirms the promise it revealed in barrel. Offering up notes of citrus oil, green apple, white flowers and wet stones, framed by a hint of smoky reduction, it's medium to full-bodied, with a satiny attack and a racy spine of acidity, concluding with a saline finish. This chiseled wine is fleshier and more textural than the Chablis 45°." - 91pts WA
