Jancis Robinson (16.5)
Cask sample. Juicy nose that is really salivatory. Lots of ripe fruit here – SO different from the skinny Aligotés of old! Really satisfying drink. I wonder what sort of price it is? Could be QGV? Long and very well constituted.Inc. VAT£175.46 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (87-88)
Big crop picked 16th September, below Pommard and Volnay and Meursault. Made half and half in 600 litre barrels and stainless steel. A little deeper in colour and indeed in bouquet than the Chardonnay. Apple and fresh quince, mostly young vine produce, but this is absolutely delicious, and sweeps through to a long finish.

Vinous (87-89)
The 2021 Bourgogne Aligoté was picked on 11 October and will be bottled before Christmas. It has a taut, fresh nose with linden and frangipane scents. The palate is well-balanced and very effortless, with touches of stem ginger that liven the finish. This is a perfectly fine Aligoté.Inc. VAT£152.00 -
Vinous - Neal Martin (88-90)
The 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté was picked two weeks after the main harvest and racked just before the 2023 picking. It has quite a primal bouquet with grapefruit and Conference pear, gaining delineation in the glass. The palate is well-balanced with a lovely sense of "rondeur," slightly lower in acidity than last year but with commendable purity on the finish. Lovely.Inc. VAT£153.49 -

(3x75cl) 2009Vinous (92)
The rarely seen 2009 Bourgogne Blanc is made from young Chardonnay vines planted in Musigny. The 2009 impresses for its textural elegance. Lemon, pastry, white flowers, crème brulée and hints of tropical fruit wrap around the finish. A subtle note of minerality acts to balance some of the wine's more overt tendencies. This is a lovely effort.Inc. VAT£1,829.54 -

(1x75cl) 2012Vinous (92-94)
Lime, white flowers and salt are some of the many notes that emerge from de Vogüé's Bourgogne Blanc, which is young-vine Chardonnay planted in Musigny. A wine that really exists in a class of its own, the 2012 is striking in its beauty. Smoke, slate and a host of intense saline notes support the vibrant finish. The 2012 is impeccable. It's as simple as that.Inc. VAT£811.04 -
(1x75cl) 2013Vinous (92)
The 2013 Bourgogne Blanc was one of the final vintages before it was deemed worthy of being labelled Musigny Blanc. You can certainly see why they thought it was due. It has a taut and linear bouquet, very mineral-driven with real power and focus, hints of oyster shell and dandelion. The palate is bounding full of energy with a superb line of acidity and that marine influence coming through on the finish, brioche on the aftertaste. Divine.

A bit of a mysterious wine as there is so little of it and wasn't even made for 20 years while the new vines were settling in, this is always a treat to taste. This is the seventh commercialized vintage with the revitalized vineyard, and it is utterly charming. Starting with match strike and Comice pear, the palate doubles down with riper flavors – including tropical fruits – and plentiful fresh herb lift. The well-knit acidity meshes seamlessly with the medium body lightly brushed with classy oak. It finishes long, dry and refreshing. 2023-34Inc. VAT£1,113.59 -

The white Musigny was racked just before the harvest, now back in barrel. Clear pale colour even with a faint green reflection. Rather a beautiful gently perfumed nose, flinty yet fine, this year the Musigny Blanc does seem like grand cru quality. A little lemongrass and then a crystalline white fruit. Really promising.Inc. VAT£1,379.99 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-96)
Bottled end October. Fine pale lemon colour with a definite green tint. Tense powerful crisp fruit, the crunchy side of orchard fruit, then builds in richness to the back, before rediscovering its minerality to finish. Notably persistent, I can see the point in Musigny Blanc more easily than I used to! Drink from 2030-2040.Inc. VAT£1,287.72 -

(6x75cl) 2012Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90-92)
Slightly high-toned aromas of orange and lemon oil, with a lightly candied quality. Then silky and dry on the palate, but with an almost exotic quality to the candied citrus fruit flavors. A bit exaggerated for me. Finishes quite persistent, with a piquant note of lemon zest.Inc. VAT£2,782.69 -
(1x75cl) 2016Vinous (91)
(just half of a normal crop made): Bright yellow. Slightly stunted aromas of stone and citrus fruits. Quite ripe in its deep yellow fruit flavors but given a distinctly penetrating quality by a surprising spine of minerality and fresh acidity. This wine actually seems riper than it did from barrel a year ago, but with no loss of energy. Finishes with a faintly phenolic edge and a lingering note of dusty stone.Inc. VAT£452.93 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (92-95)
Lively aromas of apple, lemon, minerals and vanilla bean. Creamy sweet and wonderfully intense, with tangy freshness and complicating floral notes. Finishes with explosive fruit. From 75-year-old vines, to comprise roughly half the ultimate blend: Penetrating lemon oil and charred oak aromas. Extremely rich and powerful, with the wine's strong mineral character contributing to the impression of dryness. Really gripping, tactile finish. Large-scaled but uncommonly elegant Charmes.Inc. VAT£1,657.56 -
Vinous (93-95)
(tasted from tank) Aromas of peach and vanilla. Rich, fat and classically dry, with compelling purity to the lemon, crushed stone and mineral flavors. Perfectly integrated acidity extends the palate-staining, layered finish. With a blend of 15-, 45- and 75-year-old vines in his 1.7-hectares holding in Charmes, Lafon has the flexibility each year to make one of Burgundy's top Meursault bottlings.Inc. VAT£458.39 -
Vinous (93-95)
(tasted from barrel; the wine was scheduled to be racked the week after my visit) Restrained nose hints at candied citrus peel, flowers, vanilla and smoky lees. On the palate, lovely sweetness is perfectly buffered by ripe acidity, but this is very backward and minerally wine-more Perrieres-like than most other growers' Perrieres. Taut and uncompromising, and less showy than the Genevrieres.Inc. VAT£397.32 -
Vinous (93+)
(bottled the day before my visit; aged in 40% new oak): Complex, vibrant aromas of peach, orange zest and lemon accented by white pepper.

A very good showing today, but this is still a baby.Inc. VAT£517.19 -

(one-third new oak): Pale bright yellow. Classic aromas of lemon cream, minerals and sexy lees, along with subtle oak notes of char and coconut.

(on its finings): Lemon-yellow color. Ripe peach, hazelnut and vanillin oak on the classic Meursault nose.

Finishes with outstanding lemon-zest cut and length. My style of Meursault, and downright electric in the context of the year.Inc. VAT£499.19
