2020  Pouilly-Fuisse 1er Cru

"More subtle though not invisible wood with the same hint of vanilla frames the lemon and floral aromas of essence of green apple. The sleek, intense and overtly mineral-driven flavors terminate in a bitter lemon-inflected finish that is clean dry and sneaky long. This gorgeously textured but seriously powerful effort is more refined and a wine that should amply repay mid-term cellaring. Excellent." - 93pts/Outstanding, Bughound ---- "The 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Le Clos 1er Cru which comes from the walled vineyard, the only officially-recognised Premier Cru monopole of 2.68ha, the vines east-facing on three soils - clay at the bottom, marl in the middle and limestone at the top. It was picked on 30 August. The nose is quite reticent at first, so leaving the wine in my glass for 10 minutes, it really opens and shows its complexity thanks to the mélange of soils, honeysuckle and dried honey, lime and faint hints of liquorice. The palate is very well balanced with good depth, real weight and presence here, texturally-satisfying with impressive persistence on the finish. Excellent, but wise owls will cellar this for several years before broaching." - 94pts Vinous

2019  Pouilly-Fuisse

"Elegant, cool and pretty aromas speak of discreet but not imperceptible wood, lemon zest, spice and plenty of floral elements. The racy, intense and beautifully well-delineated flavors possess good minerality and detail as well as very good power on the overtly saline-inflected finish. As is often the case, this appears to be the most complete wine in the range in 2019 and definitely one to consider." - 91-94/Sweet Spot Outstanding, Burghound

2019  Pouilly-Fuisse

The fruit comes from 20 to 30-year-old vines situated in a variety of terroirs and is aged in 40% oak and 60% stainless. -- "Moderate wood frames the citrusy and smoky aromas of white flowers, pear and more discreet citrus nuances. There is better volume to the energetic and equally rich medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a youthfully austere, bone dry and sneaky long finish. This is very good and is also worth considering." - 91-93/Sweet Spot Outstanding, Burghound

2019  Mercurey Blanc

Mercurey Blanc ---- "Very stony soil on top of a bench of clay which retains the humidity. All made in 400 litre barrels, with 30% new. Pale lemon and lime, definite stony tension on the nose, and a little lime blossom. This is firm and concentrated, with good grip behind. The oak shows a little more than in the straight Mercurey but the grip of the wine can handle it. Tasted Mar 2021." - 4/5 stars, Jasper Morris MW

2019  

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.

Bourgogne Cote d'Or 'En Coulezain' Vieilles Vignes

2010  Beaune 1er Rouge

"Strong reduction knocks down the nose but there is excellent volume and phenolic maturity to the supporting structure shaping the suave and mouth coating flavors that are perhaps the richest of any of these Beaune 1ers. The volume and energy are impressive as is the length and this should age for many years." - 90-92/Outstanding Burghound

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
