Tasting NotesLovely freshness, zippy acidity, citrus lemon, balancing the 15% new oak, more freshness than in recent vintages. Sam says the warm weather at harvest made it a challenge to keep the white grapes fresh, requiring a fast picking. The pH is similar to '22 but it is more noticeable on the palate, with a higher proportion of tartaric acid retained in the finished wine (whereas malic acid is lost during the malolactic). This has a great balance of richness, subtle oak influence and freshness. RKL |

Tasting NotesWe did not taste the 1er Cru Les Morgeots this year (running out of time to get to our next appointment in Meursault) but based on tasting the 2023 village Chassagne, plus previous experience of tasting Les Morgeots, this should be superb this year. Sam says this plot is on deep clay and limestone soils, giving power and depth. RKL |

IB | ||||
Tasting NotesFrom a walled vineyard in Bouzeron, owned entirely by the Borgeots, hence this is a monopole for the domaine. 20% new oak this year, due to the need to lay in more barrels for the larger '22 vintage. The fruit from Clos Carbonade is able to balance the oak, with aromas of ozone-freshness, pear and strawberry (yes, a red fruit aroma). A lovely creamy texture to the palate. RKL |

Tasting Notes"This wine starts life in a mix of tank and barrel. The tank component, which includes the vines on schistous soils in one part of Fuissé, shows some green tints to the colour, with an attractive fruit both lively and juicy. There is a definite bitterness. Still, youthful promise. The barrel component, from clay-limestone soils includes some 1er Cru grapes as a counterpoint to the schist, and a bit of fruit from Vergisson. Pale lemon in colour without the green, a slightly richer and softer nose, more evidently Pouilly-Fuissé. Fresh plum fruit, balanced and delicious. My assessment may be over cautious. Drink from 2026-2030. Tasted Apr 2024. 89-90 points." Jasper Morris MW |

Tasting Notes"Slightly yellower in colour, with rather less nose at the moment. Was reduced last month says Nicolas, and has gone quiet for now. Much more interesting in the mouth, with a bench of white fruit and a few stones dotting the finish. Like the Charmes, the persistence is pleasing. This is slightly fuller bodied. Nose starts to emerge, just very backward. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Oct 2024. 93-95 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com |

Tasting Notes"Pale lemon yellow. This wine does show an element of reduction, but in the gunflint style rather than vegetal. Quite subtle behind. A long finish with good acidity, fresh plum fruit, not too heavy, notable most of all for its persistence. Mixed ages with an average of around 45 years. Drink from 2030-2036.

Tasting Notes"Clear pale lemon yellow. Still a little reserved but there is a clear sign of quality here, with the stony side of Meursault, plus a little citrus. A lovely dimension on the palate, with ripe apple, before a fine long finish. Not a rounded Meursault but a fine one. Drink from 2027-2032.

Tasting Notes"Mid lemon yellow. Quite a robust white fruit on the nose, verging on the more exotic but well in balance. Significant volume of fruit in the mouth, backed by good acidity. This is robust and healthy and a fine example. He has backed off the oak here – doesn’t need it. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Oct 2024. 91-93 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com |

Tasting Notes"Mid lemon yellow. The Garenne seems riper and softer than the previous wines, with some yellow plums, but still the delicacy of all the Sauzet wines this year, and with an agreeable, almost floral, long finish. Ripe citrus zest on the nose. The Sauzet team work the vines and buy the grapes. Drink from 2027-2031. 90-93 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com |

Tasting Notes"A slighter fuller lemon and lime colour. The bouquet suggests greater density of fruit. A light lick of oak which suits the more clay-based wines. Excellent energy, the oak backing up the fresh vigour of the fruit, and a well-balanced finish. Not the ripest, but quite powerful.

Tasting Notes"The 2023 Chablis Village has a more floral bouquet. White flower hints complement the citrus fruit. The palate is lively and fresh, with good concentration and a touch of bitter lemon with ample weight on the finish for a Village Cru...Drink 2024-2029. 88 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com------"This is aromatically similar to the Petit Chablis with more evident floral influences as well as a bit more Chablis typicity. There is also a bit more volume to the sleeker and more vibrant flavors that are agreeably textured and punchy without the slightly rustic finale. This too should drink well after only 2ish or so years of keeping. 88 points" Allen Meadows' Burghound------"Pale colour. The bouquet shows the stones as it should, with white orchard fruit behind. A little lactic and buttery though entirely in stainless steel. More energy behind leaves a fine crisp aftertaste. Drink from 2025-2027. 88 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com |
