From a north-facing site that has consequently been denied the premier cru appellation, the 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Courtelongs has turned out very well, unfurling to reveal notions of green apple, orange oil, buttery...

As I wrote earlier this year, Bonneau du Martray's 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru unwinds in the glass with aromas of crisp Anjou pear, peach and nectarine mingled with white flowers, clear honey, nutmeg, mint and...

(91-93 points) Here the restrained nose is more floral but less citrus in character with moderately prominent spice and quinine nuances adding breadth. The palate impression is one of contrasts as the succulent and round...

This white shows a sharp underpinning of acidity, which defines smoky peach, stone and lemon flavors. Remains balanced while the flinty, mineral elements build to a lingering conclusion. Drink now through 2027. - BS

(90-92 points) The 2020 Meursault Les Santenots Blanc ler Cru has a precise bouquet with lemon zest, orange blossom and crushed rock scents, all well defined and focused. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity...

Here's a very well-structured and bright Meursault with chalky minerality that lifts the generous body, making it feel like it's lighter than it really is. Some creaminess on the mid-palate, but emphatically dry at the...

The 2020 Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru, half aged in 400-litre oak barrels, has a rather straightforward nose considering the vineyard in question, although it opens with aeration. The oak here is a little obtrusive. The...

This white starts out rich, turning leaner and focused on the finish, with vanilla, butterscotch, apple tart and lemon flavors that ride a vibrant structure. Shows fine length. Drink now through 2026. - BS

The vines are located in the upper part, turning towards Vaulorent. More green than yellow in the colour, very concentrated, very backward. Solid and weighty, not yet showing the detail. But length, and some fresh apricot...

Full pear and candied-lemon nose with quite pronounced, yeasty notes from sur-lie maturation and a hint of tarragon. Quite a rich, bold wine for Santenay, but with a cool, slightly herbal side that balances the ripeness...

(92-95 points) Pale lemon and lime, with both a refined bouquet and intensity behind. “The inimitable Clos Blanc” says Sylvie. So much fruit detail here, both the sharper styles such as fresh apple, through a whole range...

Lemons, salted butter, white apricots and white grapefruits here, with toasted nuts too. It’s medium-bodied with a tasty roasted nut character lending opulence, yet balanced by bright acidity. Drink now.

Silky and bordering on racy, with lemon, apple and floral flavors benefiting from crisp acidity. Light-bodied, focused and long, this delivers elegance and precision. Drink now through 2027. 2,562 cases made, 215 cases...

Clean, revealing a stony mineral element underneath lemon, apple and baking spice flavors. Balanced on a linear profile, this persists on the lemony finish. Drink now through 2027. - BS

This wine was too young to drink when tasted at the winery shortly after release, but it amply demonstrated both the quality and potential for aging. There was an almost-unbelievable concentration of aroma, with lemon...

(94-97 points) Here the wood treatment is no longer subtle though it stops short of fighting with the wonderfully broad-ranging nose of lemon confit, jasmine tea, acacia blossom and an abundance of spice elements. There...

(95 - 97 points) The king of the cellar on the white side of the ledger is the 2020 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Les Demoiselles (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot), a striking wine that unfurls in the glass with notes of...

(91-94 points) This also displays a nose dominated by secondary fermentation aromas. On the palate though the middle weight flavors are much more attractive as the gorgeous texture and refinement complements the very...

Coche produced six barrels of the beautiful 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Les Caillerets from this seldom-seen climat on the northern side of Meursault. Wafting from the glass with scents of white flowers, crisp green orchard...

(90-93 points) Firm reduction blocks reading the nose. More interesting are the rich, intense and sappy middle weight flavors that conclude in a bone-dry and highly complex finale. I wouldn't describe this as typical yet...
