(6x75cl) 2023Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)
Blended last week. A glowing lemon and lime colour. A complex and classy nose, with a little touch of coconut on top of the crushed oyster shells. Floral too but not honeyed. Good grip to this, with the requisite tension, the oak not fully blended in yet, making for a butterier finish. Drink from 2027-2036. Tasted Jun 2024.Expected Price Range£270 - £330 -
Vinous (92)
Bright yellow. Musky aromas of tangerine, orange zest and smoky lees. Tactile, zesty and intense, conveying a slightly phenolic character to the concentrated ripe fruit and smoky mineral flavors owing to the very small berries here--and perhaps to the slightly newer oak used for this wine than for the regular Clos. The long, palate-dusting finish gives an impression of full ripeness without heaviness.Inc. VAT£1,440.58 -
(1x300cl) 2015Vinous (91+)
Light-medium yellow. Nose dominated by musky stony minerality. Tightly wound and powerful but a bit hard-edged in the early going, offering classically dry citrus, menthol and white pepper flavors. This fruit appears to have been picked earlier than ideal owing to the hailstorm and its hint of bitterness will take time to knit. Finishes with a slightly phenolic dusty quality. More disjointed than the Vaudésir today but ultimately more minerally.Inc. VAT£544.54 -

The 2018 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru is matured 50% in barrel and the rest in tank, with just a small percentage of new wood. It has a fresh bouquet that is beautifully defined, hints of jasmine and white flowers, crushed stone and peony developing with time. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, and slightly waxy in texture. A discreet grilled walnut note develops toward the finish. A complex Valmur, this, and reassuringly persistent on the aftertaste.Inc. VAT£410.44 -

The 2020 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru has a well-defined nose, citrus fruit mixed with pear, wet limestone and green apples, tight at first but responds to aeration. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, taut and fresh with a lovely, lip-smacking salinity that fires up the finish. Excellent.Inc. VAT£429.49 -
(6x75cl) 2023Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-96)
60% has been made in tank and 40% in barrel. I am very happy with this nose. The sunshine and volume of the vintage looks like it suits Valmur. An excellent volume of white fruit and flesh, a dusting of ripe citrus zest, a structure more typical of Cote d’Or, the oak fully integrated and proper persistence. Drink from 2027-2036. Tasted Jun 2024.Expected Price Range£270 - £330 -
Vinous (92+)
The 2020 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru has a backward bouquet that demands coaxing from the glass: wet pavement, pressed yellow flowers and a touch of flint. Very focused. Fresh and saline, the palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity; however, it remains quite strict and oddly like a 2021 towards the close. Give this three or four years in bottle.Inc. VAT£413.89 -
(6x75cl) 2022Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93)
Pale lemon colour. The bouquet is taking its time, but the natural balance of this vineyard is apparent. Despite the discretion there is a wonderful intensity of very pure white fruit. Only the lightest dusting of coconut. The salinity reinforces the finish. Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted Jun 2024.Inc. VAT£938.00 -
(6x75cl) 2023Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)
Clear mid lemon colour. The bouquet is immediately saline, classic Chablis, a load of energy here, flows across the palate, evidently richer than another year but still in all other ways absolutely typical and very persistent. Drink from 2027-2036. Tasted Jun 2024.Expected Price Range£270 - £330 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91)
Though separated out a few years earlier, this cuvée has been offered as Les Pargues with a wax capsule from 2020. Pale colour with a delicious floral yet fresh nose. This is very classic and benefits from the extra elevage. Straight on the limestone, with lemon juice squirted over the oyster shells. Naturally reductive and that factor is lightly woven in. Drink from 2026-2030. Tasted Jun 2024.Inc. VAT£347.21 -
