1er Cru Les Combettes

2022  Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos St. Jean

Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos St. Jean ---- "The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Saint-Jean 1er Cru has more complexity on the nose than the Maltroye, with touches of lemon curd, white tea and crushed stone. This is open and generous without being overbearing. The palate is quintessential "Chassagne," well-balanced with ample weight. The oak is the guiding hand here, less prominent than on the Maltroye, with a dab of spice towards the lively finish. Very fine." - 92pts Vinous

2021  1er La Romanee

1er La Romanee ---- "A slightly riper and faintly exotic nose combines notes of citrus confit, white peach, Asian-style tea and notes of green apple. The rich, concentrated and powerful larger-bodied flavors possess excellent depth and persistence on the compact and built-to-age finish that is borderline tannic. This is almost always the best 1er in the Fontaine range and so it is again in 2021." - 93/Outstanding BH

2022  Puligny 1er Cru Hameau de Blagny

"Our Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Hameau de Blagny is rich, with a beautiful minerality, a pale yellow color, gourmet notes of almond paste, vanilla, hazelnuts, white flowers. On the palate, the balance is there, with a long and complex finish, on notes of peppermint, citrus fruits. All its personality will be expressed in 2 to 3 years." ---- From 50 yr old vines that lie on only .17 ha of clay-limestone soil with cool evening exposure due to the high elevation of the plot. Hand harvested and gentle press, fermented in stainless steel with native yeasts. Aged in 70% neutral oak and 30% new oak for 14 months with gentle stirring every 15 days for 5 months.

2020  

"Lovely density and richness, with a nose showing ripe apricots, a hint of lemon peel and just a bit of butter. The texture is creamy and dense but not lacking in tension. Regal, substantial, but always elegant. This is made with the white grapes from the Senard monopole of the Clos des Meix, now biodynamically farmed. It is a blend of 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Beurrot (Pinot Gris). The wine is rather quickly pressed and vinified without sulphur until the malolactic fermentation is complete. Ageing is in 350-litre casks (half new)." - 96pts, Charles Curtis MW
