Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)Mid lemon, with just a little bit more intensity on the nose, and very much more on the palate. There is some oak to back it up but the fruit concentration merits this. Chiselled white fruit, some fresh greengage notes as well, fairly long. Indeed, the fruit bounces back some time later. Three barrels made. Tasted: November 2021 |

Vinous (95)The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet La Romanée 1er Cru has an intriguing, complex bouquet of orange zest, honeysuckle and powdered granite aromas – just outstanding in every way. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity that cuts through intense citrus fruit laced with walnut and hazelnut. There is great depth on the finish, but you can tell that it has a lot more to give. Wonderful salinity on the aftertaste. Outstanding. |

Wine Advocate (95)The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets has turned out brilliantly, revealing an incipiently complex bouquet featuring scents of white flowers, Anjou pear, fresh peach, fresh pastry and flinty reduction. Medium to full-bodied, deep and satiny, it's a lively, concentrated wine with lovely mid-palate amplitude and a lively, saline finish. Inherently more open and immediate than the superb 2017 rendition, it will nevertheless merit and reward some bottle age. |

Burghound (93)(Outstanding) A slightly fresher nose also reflects elusive suggestions of the exotic on the aromas that also display hints of citrus confit, white flower and whiffs of dried herbs. There is better vibrancy and detail as well as more obvious minerality on the medium-bodied flavors that are better-balanced, more persistent and markedly more complex. This is lovely and a wine that should reward 8 to 10 years of cellaring yet one that should be approachable after only 4 to 5 years. |
