2020  Macon Cruzille

2019  Chablis

"The 2019 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru has a very pretty bouquet of yellow flowers, honeysuckle and light white truffle scents, plus a touch of flint in the background. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. This is certainly one of the more elegant Grand Crus in 2019, displaying admirable poise and a touch of spice toward the lingering finish. Excellent." - 93pts Vinous

2020  Chablis

"The 2020 Chablis Mont de Milieu 1er Cru comes from a south-facing, warm microclimate; the vines are worked by horse, and for the first time, around half the cuvée has been in clay amphorae, which Olivier de Moor believes has lent more precision. It has a delightful bouquet with scents of yellow plum, tangerine and light honeysuckle aromas. The palate is well-balanced with very fine delineation and tension, razor-sharp (perhaps more than previous vintages) with a vibrant and, like the Vau de Vey, quite penetrating with a persistent finish. Shimmers in the glass." - 94pts Vinous

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

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
