Viré-Clessé Vieilles Vignes, Meurgey-Croses, 2022

"Made in 450 and 600 litre barrels, not new. Pale lemon. Softer on the bouquet with the lightly honeyed richness of the appellation, especially here at the Clessé end. A little muscat touch with some sucrosity even though only 12.5% alcohol. Useful acidity, with even a slight youthful bitterness." 89/100 Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Chablis, Samuel Billaud, 2021

"The usual three plots yielding an acceptable 25-30hl/ha. Fine and pale colour, the bouquet is correct but discreet, while showing Samuel’s habitual finesse. Really quite steely on the palate with a little squeeze of citrus, and impeccable length. Another tribute to the brilliance of Samuel Billaud’s vinification. Drink from 2024-2027." 89-92/100 Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy, 5-Star Wine

Fleurie, Jane Eyre, 2021

"Clear, bright, mid ruby. Ripe cherry and red soft fruits. Lovely depth, weight and volume on the palate. Really quite firm but a veil of powdery tannins." 16+/20 Jancis Robinson

Volnay Premier Cru Santenots, Domaine Éric Boigelot, 2019

"2019 is a vintage with tremendous charm and grace, for both whites and reds - and this Santenots, a 1er Cru site bordering Meursault, embodies the perfumed elegance and supple, silken red fruits I associate with Volnay. It will continue to develop and soften but the current brightness and vivacity has its own appeal and it never disappoints on each occasion opened." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru

Pernand Vergelesses Premier Cru, Sous Fretille, Pierre Meurgey, 2020

"Lovely lemon and lime colour. Rather an attractive bouquet with intensity, and a well integrated oak, there being one new barrel in three. Quite firm on the second half of the palate, the barrel showing through, some energy across the middle, greengage notes, a little bit of citrus but predominantly white fruit." 90-93/100 Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Bas Liards, Pierre Meurgey, 2018

"Red cherry, raspberry, a flick of flint and a lick of vanilla unite into a most appetizing nose on this wine. Vanilla stays put on the palate where it envelopes the ripe, juicy fruit on a slender palate. This wine is rounded, ready and full of joy." 90/100 Anne Krebiehl, Wine Enthusiast
