The 2018 Bourgogne Chardonnay, which had been bottled by the time of my visit, has a clean, precise apple blossom and citrus-scented bouquet that shows impressive definition for a generic white Burgundy. The palate is taut and fresh with a touch of bitter lemon on the entry, superb acidity and a saline finish. You will not find a better white Bourgogne Blanc in 2018.In Bond£385.00 -

Bottled in August the 2020 Bourgogne Chardonnay has an attractive nose with light citrus fruit, apple peelings and honeyuckle. The palate is well balanced with fine depth, slight pithy in style with hints of brioche and hazelnut on the finish. Closure: DiamIn Bond£513.00 -

The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru has quite an austere bouquet, backward and sultry at first, then hints of lemon zest, Conference pear and light earthy aromas emerging with time. The fresh, saline palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Initially, it misses a little finesse and precision toward the lemongrass-tinged finish, but returning after 10 minutes, I find a degree of elegance and harmony that wins me over.

The 2017 Chablis Vaillons Cuvée Guy Moreau 1er Cru, which comes from the oldest vines in the vineyard, is again, a little closed on the nose and tricky to read. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity, a little more richness and smoothness compared to the regular bottling with gorgeous dried honey and walnut note furnishing the long finish. Superb.In Bond£199.00 -

The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Village wafts from the glass with notes of orange oil, white flowers, Anjou pear, mint and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's bright and lively, with fine concentration, tangy acids and a nicely defined finish.In Bond£452.00 -

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)
Assembled and fined. Alexandre will be able to bottle this without filtering and is very happy with the fining. Clear pale lemon and lime. Beautifully fine bouquet, yet again a masterful example. The blend between the fruit and the thread of mineral acidity is just exactly right and there is no feeling of four square Chassagne. The flesh emerges a little more forcefully at the finish which is exceptionally persistent. Year in, year out, this si just about the best example of village Chassagne-Montrachet available.

The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Village, which had been blended but not fined, offers scents of Golden Delicious and beeswax on the nose. The palate has a crisp entry with tropical notes of passion fruit and pineapple, a punters' Chassagne with a dab of ginger on the finish. Enjoy over the next decade.In Bond£511.00 -

(from Fairendes and La Cardeuse, the latter a monopole of the domain): Pale yellow. Reticent, distinctly rocky aromas of lemon, honey and crushed stone. Rich and plush in the mouth, with yellow stone fruit, pear and rock flavors nicely framed by harmonious acidity. In a fairly masculine style, finishing with excellent lift and an almost tannic impression.In Bond£557.00 -

The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot is a stunning success, offering up a deep and already complex bouquet of pear, pastry cream, wheat toast, iodine, lemon oil and hazelnut. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, authoritative and multidimensional, with wonderful depth and dimension and considerable extract, underpinned by succulent acids, its finish long and mineral. This is an imposing Morgeot that captures the power while avoiding the corpulence of which this climat is capable.In Bond£145.00 -

The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeots 1er Cru has a terse bouquet, certainly one of the most austere and Puligny-like from Alex Moreau this year. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh, steely and focused with wonderful sapidity towards the finish. Excellent.In Bond£167.00 -
