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

From the site’s Chassagne side, Jadot’s 2007 Montrachet smells like an essence of fresh apple and quince laced with brown spices, lily, and narcissus; detonates on the palate with an energetic interplay of fruit, flowers...

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...

(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...

(96-99 points) Here the almost unbelievably complex nose is more restrained than that of the Bâtard with its pure aromas of lilac, rose petal, lavender, spiced pear, exotic tea and lemon confit. There is excellent...

(90-92 points) 5 barrels in half a hectare, actually a good result for Blagny in 2021, mostly from the more backward older vines. Lemon and lime colour, quite austere, a minor reduction, but a suggestion of good fruit to...

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

(93-95 points) The 2020 Meursault Charmes 1er Cru has a complex bouquet, traces of honeysuckle, orchard fruit, hints of meadow gently unfurling on the nose. The palate is beautifully balanced with real intensity and...

(92-95 points) Pale yellow. An effortless nose, graciously ripe, not exaggerated, yellow plum, high acidity here, a saline note even, impeccable intensity though I feel it was unfair to serve this after the world beating...

93+ The 2011 Referts from Arnaud Ente is also a very elegant and soil-driven example of the vintage. The deep and expressive bouquet offers up a mix of apple, white peach, lemon blossoms, chalky soil tones, orange zest...

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...

(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...
