A tiny crop, the vines not having been protected. A light green edge to the colour. More phenolic on the nose, though that pleases me rather than otherwise. The wood is a bit present at the moment but does not dry the fruit. Solid and weighty, this should work out with a little more elevage. 88-91 J...

The 2022 Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru emerges from holdings that straddle the Chassagne and Puligny sides. Super-elegant and refined, Boillot's Batard has a ton to offer, even if it is rather reticent at this stage. White flowers, mint, spice and light pastry overtones add layers of nuance. The 2022...

The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Perclos, the only white to be racked, has a light bouquet with yellow plum and green apple scents. It's not powerful, but nicely defined. The palate is well-balanced with a slightly waxy texture, fine acidity, and a little stem ginger towards the finish. An easy-goi...

Planted 1950s/1960s. Slightly yellower in colour. A broad nose not yet showing the detail. Quite a powerful core of fruit, more floral than usual, a useful citrus underlay, with fine persistence. Fine long finish. Drink from 2027-2032.90-93 Jasper Morris MW.The 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons Vieilles...

From 60-year-old vines matured in stainless steel only, the 2022 Chablis Vaillons Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru is very backward on the nose with light iodine and oyster shell scents. The palate is well balanced, taut and linear, very saline in the mouth, the marine-influence finish calling for a huge tur...

This bottling is a new negociant cuvée.Purchased fruit, though not from the family. Three barrels, three vineyards, from two sources. Pale lemon yellow. Tight and tense, in fact remarkably lean for the vintage, with fair length and good acidity. Drink from 2027-2030.88-91 Jasper Morris MW.

This is notably ripe while managing to remain agreeably fresh on the vaguely exotic nose of white and yellow peach, acacia, spice, quinine and moderate wood influence. There is both good volume and richness to the attractively textured middle weight flavours that are, despite the richness, almost de...

More blue clays here. From the west to the east, vines in the middle of the appellation.Here the wood treatment is more prominent though it stops short of being invasive on the aromas of pretty white flower, mineral reduction, pear and a hint of anise. The super-sleek, intense and detailed flavours...

Côte de Bougros approaching Preuses.Just enough wood to notice sets off ripe white-fleshed fruit and citrus aromas along with moderate Chablis typicity. The wood is also present on the palate of the acceptably concentrated flavours that are delicious and vibrant though more depth would help on the...

2 parcels of 40 and 45-year-old vines.From two domaine plots, planted in 1971 and 1976. Clean pale yellow with a powerful bouquet, classic Montée de Tonnerre. The concentration is really impressive, not too exotic. Rather buttery at the finish, though then the minerals return. A question of time Dr...

From two locations, Côte Pré-Girot and Les Fourneaux. Old vines in the latter on a very limestone bed. The bouquet is discreet, the palate is rather fine, with very evenly spread ripe citrus, plenty of stones, and very good length. Drink from 2027-2032.90-92 Jasper Morris MW.This exotic wine boast...

Grand Curoulet is one of the very best terroirs of Arbois. It is a North-facing parcel located on the side of a hill that dominates Arbois and the plaine de la Saône. Grand Curoulet is known to be where the first vines of Arbois were planted. The vineyard sits at around 300 metres altitude, a littl...

This has a little more body and depth to it than the Grand Couroulet but more crunch, too. Salty, stony and savoury with an almost Chablisien note. A dynamic wine with an energy derived from clean, clear mineral characteristics. Pelican have been farming this En Barbi parcel since 2012 with particul...

From their own vines. Pale in colour and slightly reductive. A little fresh apple behind. White fruit fills out across the palate, sufficient acidity, then a juicy yellow fruit kicks in to extend the finish. Generous but balanced. Drink from 2026 - 2029. Tasted Oct 2024. 88 Jasper Morris MW, Inside...

Their own vines. A pale lemon and lime colour. There is an attractive and elegant fruit without too much weight. A little more on the palate to establish the Meursault credentials, white fruit with well-judged oak behind, a little note of toast perhaps, adequate acidity and very good length. Drink f...

Multiple parcels (Les Millerands, En Monatine, Les Herbeux, Les Malpoiriers) with clay-limestone soils. Certified organic and biodynamic. A delicious baby Meursault!Mid lemon yellow. Something a touch earthy on the nose but plenty of fruit volume behind, indeed surprising density and very good acidi...

In the domaine since 1955 – 0.53 ha. 50 year old vines. On the border, next to P-M Champs Canet. 35% new oak.A nicely vibrant nose of mineral depth – a fine invitation. Large and fresh – ooh there’s energy here – complexity attached to that too. Mouth-watering too – I simply love that â€...

Highest part of Puligny. Close proximity to the forest. Late ripening. 1986 plantings. 30-35% max new oak.Here’s a fine breadth of citrus-led perfume. A more assertive and direct in style, lots of acid-led citrus, cushioned with surprisingly attractive oak flavour. Faintly chalky finishing with a...

Planted in 2004 on gravel, limestone and clay soil.A nose of Puligny tension – mainly yellow citrus but a small support of minerality too. Extra breadth of mineral flavour – widescreen. A touch of finishing salinity – I love this – not overtly oaked vs some – that’s just ultra-delicious...

Assemblage from across the village. 35-80 old vines. 20% new oak.Vines on the Chassagne and Meursault sides bookend multiple parcels closer to the village – a view of the breadth of Puligny here. Here we have an inviting floral perfume. Expansive, a little more structured in architecture. Less min...

1.5 Ha. Just moved from Négoce into a Domaine holdingReceived in must from the family. From two plots, including some young vines, 8 year old next to Bienvenues-Btard-Montrachet, and the larger plot with older vines below the pillars of Clos des Folatieres. A clean pale colour, with some tension on...

A fresh pale lemon, with a beautiful bouquet, nothing exotic or heady, a perfect balance here, perfumed towards the back, apples with a wrapping of honeysuckle, along with a good natural acidity and a stony finish. A delicious, complex Corton-Charlemagne. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted Nov 2024. 93-96...

Next to Bouchard’s monopoly Clos St.Landry. 20% new oak.A really expressive, wide nose with a small grain of complexity – aromatically I might guess a Meursault, blind. Hmm, in the mouth that melts beautifully over the palate – complex, some very well integrated barrel - I would guess a good v...

Domaine notes: The nose is refined, persistent and offering ethereal aromas of peach and mandarin, supported by an enjoyable oak presence. The palate is fresh and the definition of terroir becomes clearer as the tasting progresses. Rich flavours linked to aromas from Chardonnay, then you move to bit...
