(6x75cl) 2022Wine Advocate (97+)
An example of purity and stony tension, Vincent Dauvissat’s 2022 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses is the crowning achievement of an extraordinary portfolio. With an understated Chablisien character, it opens in the glass to reveal a marine bouquet of oyster shell and iodine mingling with lemon zest and white flowers. Refined and laden with incisive acids, an abundance of chalky structuring extract and with a persistent, searingly saline finish, it is more ethereal and elegant than Les Clos yet possesses all the prerequisites to age as gracefully—provided the cork holds.Inc.

The palate is quite reductive but there is balance here, a silver thread of acidity lightly spiced with a dab of stem ginger and lemongrass towards the finish. This has more character and energy than Olivier Leflaive's Bâtard and I am intrigued to see how it will age in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.In Bond£2,514.00 -

A full mid yellow, much deeper than the Bienvenues. This has all the power, and with finesse too though evidently not as much as the Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet. The Bâtard has just back from the rugby field. A good example though. 4 barrels made, of which one new. Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted: November 2023.In Bond£3,379.00 -

(14.1% alcohol) Bright yellow. Subdued but pure aromas of citrus and stone fruits, hazelnut and nut oils. Chewy, large-scaled and sweet, with expressive flavors of peach, apricot and nut oils. A huge wine with almost exotic sweetness and great length, as well as strong backbone. Always the highest in alcohol along with Batard and Combettes, notes Girardin.In Bond£1,853.61 -

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)
2.5 barrels made, mostly from the Chassagne side. Fair depth of yellow with real concentration but maybe stops a little shorter. Digs deep with some pear notes, a slight crystalline reduction at the finish. More depth than the Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, but perhaps less flair. Drink from 2027-2035.In Bond£1,498.00 -

(5 Star Wine) One barrel, not new. A pale primrose with a startlingly fine and pure bouquet. Magical. There is a refined yet exceptionally intense pure fruit, with a saline and citrus touch behind. Ultra stylish and very pure. The finish extends beautifully behind. Bravo! Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted: November 2023.In Bond£2,713.00 -

Vinous - Neal Martin (93-95)
The 2023 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a fairly tight bouquet with apricot, peach skin and light waxy scents. This takes time to open in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a slightly tangy, marmalade-tinged opening, fine depth and a lovely pithy core of fruit. Judiciously spiced toward the finish, this is a very commendable BBM to enjoy over 15 to 20 years.Expected Price Range£1,075 - £1,314 -

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanchot-Dessus 1er Cru come across a bit sultry on the nose despite coaxing. White flowers, fresh white linen and citrus scents eventually emerge. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, fresh and quite saline, perhaps it just need a little more complexity towards the finish, but otherwise this is well-crafted.In Bond£799.00 -

The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanchot-Dessus 1er Cru was one of the big (pleasant) surprises of the tasting. It has a more composed and complex bouquet compared to others in this flight, with a little more crushed stone, blood oranges and light quince aromas developing in the glass. Impressive delineation and the oak is seamlessly integrated. The palate is well balanced with a crisp line of acidity, just a dab of sour lemon and orange rind, quite peppery in style with a bravura finish. Much better than others in this flight, this is well worth hunting down. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.In Bond£735.00 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)
Clear pale colour, a refined and chiselled nose. A little quality oak now emerges to flesh out the bouquet. The fruit is very evenly distributed across the palate, still with an oak presence, a little sandalwood, a good mix between fruit and acidity, and a fine long finish. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted: November 2023.In Bond£767.00 -
Vinous (91-93)
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet La Romanée 1er Cru is more reserved on the nose, but well defined with crushed stone and touches of pressed flowers and chai. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, much more linear, almost Puligny-like in style thanks to the calcaire terroir on the finish. Vivid and animated.In Bond£562.00
