Vinous (93-95)Pale yellow-green. Urgent aromas of white peach, soft citrus fruits and iodine. Silky on entry, then less fat in the middle than the Grenouille, communicating a wonderfully fine-grained texture without any impression of weight. This wine leads with its intense fruit right now but it's extremely young. The slowly mounting, detailed finish and impression of calcaire energy suggest that it will display more minerality with time in the cellar. |

Vinous (93)The 2019 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a beautifully defined, very composed bouquet featuring hints of Japanese yuzu, white peach, fennel and a touch of white asparagus. The palate is very well defined with a spicy entry, good weight, a little more rondeur than the Valmur and a saline finish. Excellent. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (93)The 2021 Chablis Les Clos Hommage à Louis Grand Cru has a wonderful bouquet that truly expresses the nobility of Les Clos. It is quite complex with fine mineralité under the veneer of oak that will be subsumed with time. The palate is fresh on entry, taut and fresh, quite sapid with a bright and very persistent finish. Excellent, but give it another 12 to 18 months. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. |

Vinous (92)Very closed nose hints at citrus peel, stone fruits and minerals. In a more corpulent style than the Vaudésir but youthfully brooding, with its peach and yeasty flavors conveying an impression of power. This wine was made from young vines (14 and 7 years old) planted at a dense meter-by- meter spacing. Seriously rich but still a baby, finishing with serious slow-mounting length. Very impressive for young vines. |

Vinous (93)The 2015 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru comes across a little oaky on the nose, but the fruit handles it well. The bouquet is detailed and focused, with hints of dried honey and nutmeg developing in the glass. The palate displays good balance, a fine line of acidity and a smooth, almost creamy texture; hints of almond and white chocolate emerge toward the finish. This feels a little obvious in terms of winemaking at the moment, but I suspect it will evolve into a delicious Valmur. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Vinous (91-93)Slightly hazy yellow-green. Tangy nose suggests green tropical fruits. Fat, sweet and rich; a step up in volume from the Vaudésir and Blanchots. Expressive in the middle by virtue of its flesh and weight but then a bit tart-edged on the finish. This dense, spicy wine initially seemed more accessible than the Vaudésir but I would not be surprised if its shuts down after the bottling. These vines average just 15 years of age. |

A wine of breadth, richness and volume, the 2018 is flat-out stunning. Apricot, dried flowers, savory herbs and light tropical overtones build as the Valmur blossoms in the glass. Silky contours and veins of supporting minerality frame the long, persistent finish. One of thee highlights in this range, the 2018 Valmur is simply captivating. |

Vinous (88-90)(from a 1965 planting; picked near the end, on September 8; aging in 10% new oak): Bright medium yellow. Yellow peach, mirabelle and spices on the nose, with complicating notes of hazelnut and mint. Quite rich in the mouth, showing some spicy oak; the closest to exotic of these 2017s to this point and without quite the tension or energy of the preceding samples. Not a mineral style. Finishes slightly bitter-edged in a youthful way. Assistant Hervey noted that this wine, from a deep clay site, may be our most aromatic Meursault. |
