(3x75cl) 2023Vinous - Neal Martin (94-96)
The 2023 Montrachet Grand Cru actually shows a little more oak influence on the nose when compared directly with the Chevalier Demoiselles (Frédéric Barnier mentioned that it is fermented in new oak but raised in 25% new). When I returned to my glass after ten minutes, some of that had been absorbed. The palate is well balanced with a lightly spiced entry. A little creamy in texture at the moment (more so than the Chevalier), this will require a few years to fully absorb the oak, but when it starts motoring, it will be a great "Monty."Inc. VAT£1,212.40 -
Vinous (92)
Pale yellow-gold. Yellow peach and spicy oak on the nose. Concentrated and nicely delineated, showing excellent thrust and framing lemony acidity to its pear, peach and mineral flavors. Conveys an impression of high-altitude freshness but this is plenty ripe for the year. Finishes rich and long. Incidentally, this bottling is now a négociant blend of three components, two of them estate. There was previously a separate domain bottling of La Garenne, but Jadot decided that that was too confusing.Inc. VAT£151.73 -

A regal Puligny with high-toned aromatics, sweet spice undercurrents and dignified concentration, these 85-year-old vines always make a distinguished, concentrated Puligny.

The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet La Garenne 1er Cru has an attractive nose with touches of slate and a slight fumé scent that complements the malic aromas. This gains precision in the glass. The palate is well-balanced with a crisp bead of acidity. A stem ginger note hides in the background, whilst the finish feels reassuringly persistent. This should age well in bottle.Inc. VAT£615.12 -
Vinous - Neal Martin (90-92)
The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet La Garenne 1er Cru is showing a little more oak than other cuvées, though it marries well with the fruit, touches of menthol percolating through with time, quite lively and precocious. The palate is well-balanced and quite intense on the entry, with orange rind and subtle peachy notes. It builds nicely in the glass and fans out with a sense of brio on the finish. This will be difficult to resist when young.Inc. VAT£269.54 -

Pale, bright yellow. White peach, crushed herbs and dusty stone on the nose, plus a touch of brown spices. Surprisingly sweet, rich and pliant on the palate but with strong acidity that hasn't yet integrated with the wine's fruit. Concentrated, saline wine with a very long finish.

The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru is cut from a more elegant cloth than usual. The bouquet is nicely defined, offering perfumed dark cherry, cranberry and orange blossom aromas.
