Cask sample. Strongly reductive nose. Compressed, sweet fruit with a lot of generous oak spice. Wonderfully layered tannin – extremely fine, yet very persistent. Finishes with a long, symphonic persistence. Needs time for the nose to absorb the sulphur, but when it does this will be stellar.Inc. VAT£817.22 -

The 2015 Corton Grand Cru has a modest nose following the pair of excellent Aloxe-Corton Premier Crus. The small proportion of whole bunch lends a little forest floor to the mix of broody dark fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin. There is a keen thread of acidity here although it tightens up towards the finish, slams the door shut (for now). Hopefully buyers will cellar this for several years, because it has huge potential.Inc. VAT£537.64 -

Interestingly this is aromatically quite similar to the nose of the Latricières though there is just a bit more wood in evidence plus a hint of menthol. By contrast there is more size, weight, power and muscle to the big-bodied and equally mineral-driven flavors that also brim with copious amounts of dry extract that coats the palate and buffers the very firm but not hard tannic backbone on the driving, hugely long and youthfully austere finale. This is an exquisitely poised Chambertin that is very much built-to-age and is going to need a minimum of 10 years and once again, is a wine that should last for decades. In a word, brilliant.Inc.

A discreet but not invisible dose of wood does not detract from the purity of the elegant and airy array of red currant, rose petal, lavender and forest floor scents.

The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée is fabulous, offering up a lovely bouquet of musk melon, citrus zest, vanilla bean and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and powerful, with a deep, layered mid-palate, succulent acids, excellent concentration and a long, searing finish. La Romanée is typically one of the rounder, more textural 1er Crus of Chassagne but at its best it also possesses a cool sense of reserve that this rendition exemplifies.In Bond£2,038.14 -

Vincent Dancer's 2015 Meursault Les Corbins—from a lieu-dit on deeper soils near Volnay—opens in the glass with an expressive bouquet of peach, mirabelle plum and oatmeal. On the palate, the wine is ample and generously textural, but with the tension and succulent acidity to support it. This tends to be one of the more youthful, forward wines in Dancer's cellar, and the 2015 is no exception.In Bond£243.00 -

Pale silver-lemon color. Aromas of lemon ice and minerals complicated by nuances of flowers and almond. At once penetrating and tactile, with juicy, very dry flavors of wet stone, menthol and spices conveying a strong impression of saline minerality. Boasts lovely density and class--and balanced from the start even if it will unwind over the next couple decades in bottle Dauvissat, who added yeasts to this wine due to the hail, said he'd wait ten years. (just 30 hectoliters per hectare produced; this was the first vineyard Dauvissat harvested--on September 2, the second day after the hail storm)In Bond£877.00 -

The 2015 Charmes Chambertin les Mazoyeres Grand Cru offers up notes of red and black fruit, beetroot, earth and whole cluster spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, rich and silky, with an expansive attack, a layered mid-palate and a long, saline finish. This is quite stylized, marked by whole cluster fermentation which seems to give it a high pH feel, but for admirers of this particular aesthetic—a perspective my score reflects—this should offer two decades of rewarding drinking.In Bond£496.00 -

We found the wines in 2015 very easy and forward to taste, with as much focus on freshness as concentration, so there wasn’t a complete break from the 2014s in that sense. The hope is that as the wines mature they will continue to show the balance and classicism they displayed from the barrel. Our expectation is that they will do so and the best wines will live for a very long time with a genuinely satisfying pattern of maturation throughout their life.
