The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Tête du Clos Morgeot 1er Cru comes from part of the climat with more limestone. It has quite a striking, menthol- and licorice-tinged bouquet that revels in the exoticism of the 2019 but does not allow it to impede upon the terroir. The palate is well balanced with pure fruit –passion fruit, tinned pineapple chunks – and a touch of spice and crushed stone toward the finish, which has plenty of extract. There is a sense of fun about this Chassagne that will make it tempting in its youth, but I suspect that its more intellectual side will only be revealed with bottle age.Inc. VAT£610.57 -

Vinous - Neal Martin (91)
The 2021 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru has a gorgeous nose: yellow plum, crushed stone and light walnut scents blossoming in the glass. Wonderful delineation. The palate is fresh and sapid on the entry, though the acidity feels slightly shrill at the moment. Lime and green apple towards the finish just need more length. The bouquet deserves a better palate. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.In Bond£134.00 -

The 2022 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru has a complex bouquet with lemon verbena, Clementine, hints of almond and hazelnut, and crushed stone coming through with time. The palate is well-balanced with a wonderful, slightly pithy texture and very good use of extract. It is slightly creamy but delivers a touch of spice on the refined finish. A sleek and composed Les Charmes.In Bond£134.00 -

Pale lemon colour, with an excellent bouquet that speaks well of Charmes. This has flesh, white fruit, some oak, a sense of grip, still very muscular. Very youthful but with all the right ingredients to make a fine Charmes for at least medium term keeping. Drink from 2029-2034. Tasted Oct 2024.In Bond£751.00 -

The 2022 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru comes from the oldest vines, almost 80 years old, planted by Charles Ballot's grandfather Raymond.

Fine pale lemon. The bouquet has the warmth of the vintage plus the habitual subtlety of Genevrières. A fine thread of stony lemon scented fruit through the middle, a slight warmth at the back, but good acidity. Just needs longer in elevage. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Oct 2024.In Bond£783.50
