2023  Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru

2022  Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru

Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru ---- "Here too there is just enough wood to merit pointing out framing the fresh and airy aromas of white flower, pear, apple and discreet spice wisps. There is even better volume to the caressing and enveloping medium weight plus flavors that possess focused power on the impressively long and very dry finale. This is a wine that should repay 6 to 8 years of keeping." - Burghound

2023  Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Les Fairendes

Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Les Fairendes ---- "Mid lemon yellow, almost a green tint. Slightly reductive but still with some flesh behind. Young vines here, planted in 2018, but that doesn’t stop the elegance. Lively, floral, a little lime blossom, no great weight but beautifully balanced in pure white fruit. A small crop as they have just switched this to guyot poussard pruning. Drink from 2027-2033. Tasted Nov 2024." - 91-94pts & 4/5 stars, Jasper Morris MW

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

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

2023  Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru

2021  Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge

Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge ---- "A lovely plot to work says Marjolaine, providing an ethereal style of pinot. Certainly, there is nothing massive, even less brutish, about this. Instead, a charming light raspberry perfume, all in finesse. There is that tensile thread here, that speaks of high quality, in this fine and understated wine with impressive persistence. Approachable quite soon but with a good potential to last and improve. Drink from 2025-2030. Tasted Oct 2022." - 4/5 stars, Jasper Morris MW

2022  Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge

"Slightly riper aromas are comprised by notes of poached plum, dark raspberry, pepper and a pretty floral hint that are trimmed in subtle wood influence. There is fine volume, detail and underlying tension to the delicious medium-bodied flavors that deliver fine length on the dusty and chalky finish that displays a bit more rusticity. While qualitatively similar to the Les Chambres, these offer two quite different expressions." - Outstanding, Burghound
