(93-96 points) 90% is from the Pernand. Side, a third old vines, a third 20 year old, a third 35 year old. And guess what, the youngest are in the worst condition. Some tressed, some worked by winch. Pale colour, a...

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...

(92-94 points) Fine pale yellow. The bouquet bursts out of the glass, but with a sense of tension quite different from Charles Maxime. Partly floral, partly fresh greengage, but with some riper tendrils curling round the...

(90-92 points) The 2022 Saint-Aubin Village blends four different lieux-dits in the appellation. This has a well-defined bouquet with orchard fruit, hints of orange blossom and white tea. The palate is medium-bodied with...

(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...

The newest vintage of Bonneau du Martray points the direction the estate will now chart. This is an imperious wine, powerful, concentrated, and richly aromatic. Pronounced butter and baking spice aromas from the cask...

The ripe apple and spice of the initial attack seemed almost monolithic at first glance, but with time (and food), this wine took on surprising nuance and depth, with floral, mineral, and spice aromas developing with...

(91-94 points) Medium to full lemon yellow. The nose has the sensuous richness which characterises Charmes, and the oak seems more prominent. No more new oak has been used for the Charmes but a particular barrel may have...

Domaine de Montille farms a large parcel of 1.7 hectares of seventy-year-old vines in thin, rocky soils at the top of the slope. In 2021 the vineyard produced a deeply-coloured win with a beautifully expressive nose of...

The 2018 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has a kaleidoscopic nose with mineral-rich yellow fruit, chalk and apple blossom, cohering marvelously with aeration. The palate is beautifully balanced, quite powerful with real...

The 2015 Meursault Village is showing very well, unfurling in the glass with notes of crisp yellow orchard fruit, Anjou pear, white flowers, honeycomb and hazelnut cream. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied...

An intense version, yet reticent, hesitating to fully unlock the floral, apple, lemon and mineral aromas and flavors today. Builds in intensity to a long, pure finish of lemon, stone and spice. Best from 2020 to...

The very complex nose of flint, dried pear, Amalfi lemon and fresh ginger pulls you inexorably into this super focused and racy Corton-Charlemagne that is still tightly wound. Wonderful silky texture at the very long...

(90-92 points) The 2021 Saint-Aubin Village comes from three parcels and sports a discrete reduction on the nose. This is nicely focused with plenty of energy. The palate is really convincing with an energetic opening, a...

2019 proved a difficult vintage; down 15% due to the difficult flowering, the heat and lack of water. Despite all of these factors, this wine - assembled from ten different parcels - is exceedingly lovely, with ripe...

Aromas of crisp orchard fruit, white flowers, hazelnuts and clear honey introduce Coche's 2021 Meursault Village, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive wine with a pretty core of fruit girdled by tangy acids and...

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...

(92-93 points) This is a real Puligny with lemons and cooked apples. Hints of straw and limestone. Full- to medium-bodied, layered and clean. Bright finish. A beauty. Savory and salt at the end. Drink now.

A lean style, with fine concentration to the apple, white peach, lemon zest and baking spice flavors. There is energy and a tactile sensation on the long, hazelnut- and mineral-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2021 through...

This classic Puligny comes from a single lieu-dit—La Rue aux Vaches—although this is not indicated on the label. The wine has the citrus fruit and flinty character of Puligny and stands out in this cellar where everything...

(93-95 points) The 2016 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru comprises of three barrels instead of the usual five, although there is an additional barrel that comes from Philippe's parents from this vintage onward. It has a...

Ample and demonstrative when I tasted it from barrel, Lamy's 2018 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly has tightened up after bottling. Unwinding in the glass with notes of orange oil, nutmeg, pear and toasted bread, it's...

The vineyards farmed by the domaine were so badly damaged by frost and rain in 2021 that the premier cru parcels in Chassagne (like the village-level vines) were blended together. At the premier cru level this includes...

(95-98 points) Once again a subtle but not invisible application of wood frames cool and ripe aromas of green apple, acacia blossom, petrol and airy zest-tinged nuances. Interestingly, the middleweight flavors aren't...
