IB | |||||
Tasting Notes"A pure clean lemon and lime colour. Crisply stony on the nose, very much Gravières. Floral, a suggestion of lychee which Nicolas says is typical for their Gravières, alongside citrus zest. Interestingly complex and with a refined finish. Classy bitters again at the finish. No new wood any more for this cuvée, which feels like a good decision. Drink from 2028-2032. Tasted Oct 2025. 90-92 points." Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy |

Tasting Notes"Smoky aromas of iodine, white orchard fruit, petrol and a hint of zest precede caressing, delicious and acceptably punchy medium weight flavors that also conclude in a youthfully austere and agreeably dry finale would benefit from developing better depth. Drink: 2028+. 88 points" Allen Meadows' Burghound------"First bottling last week, more to follow later. Similar in colour to the Petit Chablis, with just a touch more intensity on the nose, but a similar style. More grapey on the palate, medium plus energy, with good persistence. Drink from 2026-2028. 88 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com |

Tasting Notes"Slightly more evident wood is apparent on the air, cool and peppery aromas of citrus, apple and just enough classic Chablis elements to be convincing. The succulent, round and more voluminous middle weight flavors flash a subtle bead of minerality on the clean, dry and lightly austere finale. This also needs better depth so be prepared to allow it at least a few years of cellaring. Drink: 2029+. 89-91 points" Allen Meadows' Burghound------"Just blended yesterday. Part in stainless steel, racked to older barrel in February, and a part in barrel. Mid lemon yellow, the bouquet has been knocked back a bit by the treatment. Softer lemon notes and even a little lactic, possible from the barrel, though older wood was used, but a cut above Montmains in persistence. Drink from 2027-2030. 89-91 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com |

IB | |||||
Tasting Notes"100% barrel throughout, with a touch of new wood. To rack and assemble next week. Pale lemon and lime. Good tension, a little touch of bacon, some oak emerging on the nose, but well integrated. Evidently ripe enough, yet not too exotic. Just a little too soft to describe as having tension, but it works very well. Maybe the oak is what softens the wine. Pleasing nonetheless. Drink from 2027-2032. 89-92 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com------"A pure and airy nose combines aromas of acacia blossom, citrus, lemon rind and plenty of classic Chablis character, especially mineral reduction. There is solid volume, density and punch to the more refined middle weight flavors that are supported by bright acidity on the balanced and dry finale where a touch of wood appears. Much like the Mont de Milieu, this also could use better depth so I alert readers that some patience should prove beneficial. Drink: 2030+. 90-92 points" Allen Meadows' Burghound |

IB | |||||
Tasting Notes"A more floral-suffused nose speaks of apple, quinine, tidal pool and poached pear. The more refined, if somewhat surprisingly less concentrated, medium-bodied flavors do exhibit solid length on the nicely dry finale. This too could use better depth so a few years of cellaring should inure to its benefit. Drink: 2028+. 89 points" Allen Meadows' Burghound------"First bottling last week as out of stock. Also made only in stainless steel. Medium lemon and lime colour. A touch of marmalade and feels soft behind that. But there is a little tension behind, though the fruit is undoubtedly on the softer side. Drink from 2026-2030. 89 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com |

IB | |||||
Tasting Notes"100% barrel, unracked as yet. Aged in one, two and three year old barrels plus 10% new wood. Here the barrel shows more than Montée de Tonnerre, a buttery note which is at this stage not so well integrated. Broad-bottomed, with plenty of weight, adequate acidity, no great marine character but that is not Valmur anyway. Drink from 2029-2034. 90-93 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com------"Moderately generous wood stops short of dominating the pure and fresh mix of white orchard fruit, citrus zest, wet stone and petrol aromas that are liberally laced with classic Chablis nuances. There is both fine richness and a taut muscularity to the medium-bodied flavors that possess a caressing texture thanks to abundance of sappy dry extract on the powerful, dry and impressively long finish where the wood flashed by the nose reappears. Good development potential here. Drink: 2032+. 91-93 points" Allen Meadows' Burghound |

IB | |||||
Tasting NotesFrom just under two hectares of vines in Auxey, averaging 30 years of age, on clay-limestone. The Auxey goes through the same winemaking process as the Bourgogne Côte d'Or, so the additional weight and concentration here is all down to terroir. Auxey is adjacent to Meursault and there is some of that village's richness here. This is usually the last area that the domaines harvests, being slightly cooler. The '24 has great concentration, as much as the '22 vintage, but with more lively acidity and tension. RKL |

IB | |||||
Tasting NotesFrom two plots of vines averaging twenty years of age, totalling around two hectares. The terroir is clay-limestone. The wine is fermented in barriques, followed by ageing for 11 months in oak, 10% of it new. Alexandra describes this wine as having 'sucrosity' and the word describes it very well, with brilliant acidity and tension balanced by ripe flavours and texture on the palate giving it a sense of richness.

Tasting NotesThe vines for Pascal's village wine have an average age of 44 years and come from seven plots around Puligny, on clay-limestone soils. Following fermentation in barrel, the wine is aged for 11 months before racking, with a further 4-5 months in vat, pre-bottling. Aromas of hawthorn blossom and green apple, with flinty mineral notes. Excellent intensity and more minerality on the finish. RKL |

IB | |||||
Tasting NotesHameau de Blagny is perched up high on the slopes above Puligny, on the border with Meursault. The best expression of Hameau de Blagny from this (and any other domaine) I have tried in a long time, with a smoky minerality on the nose, tangerine-citrus fruit and superb intensity and length.

Tasting NotesThe largest parcel of vines owned by the domaine, Les Chalumeaux is another site high up on the slope, close to Blagny and adjacent to Meursault. The vines average 25 years of age. The terroir is similar to that of Les Perrières. The '24 is very elegant has the same energy and freshness as the Enseigneres, but with more elegance and intensity. RKL |

Tasting NotesThis large lieu-dit borders the famous Bienvenue-Batard-Montrachet grand cru. The domaine's holdings to just over half a hectare of vines, averaging fifty years of age. The winemaking is as for the Bourgogne Cote d'Or, with a touch more new oak (20%). Wow! Intense with very fine minerality and white flowers, then loads of energy, crytsallized fruits and hazelnut on the palate, then salinity on the mouthwatering finish. RKL |

Tasting NotesFrom one of the top premiers crus in Puligny and always a great favourite, producing some of the most classical, complete expressions of this appellation. This is a Folatiers with the volume turned up to full, but the impression is still of elegance and layered complexity; intense aromas of white flowers or blossom, hazelnut and ripe citrus on the palate and a rich texture.

Tasting Notes"The 2024 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is more backward and closed than the Bienvenues yet this sings of Bâtard, a bit surly but you know it will loosen up in the end. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry. There is just a touch of reduction but it feels tensile from start to finish. It is a little spicier on the finish with a tang of tangerine and stem ginger on the aftertaste. Excellent. Drinking Window 2027-2050. 93-95 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com------"3 x 450l barrels made. A glowing pure fresh yellow colour, with dignity and energy. The oak adds a little pat of butter. Spending time with this because I think it has significant potential. There is considerable tensile strength on the palate, not the most powerful of Bâtards, but I think it has been very skilfully made. Drink from 2034-2040. 94-96 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com |

IB | |||||
Tasting Notes"2 x 350l barrels made, so a yield of just 14 hl/ha. Evidently higher up the slope, which gives a dancing quality, while the low yield in this instance seems genuinely to concentrate the wine. Greater intensity at the back of the palate than the Bâtard and with notable persistence. Drink from 2030-2040. 95-97 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com------"The 2024 Chevalier-Montrachet Demoiselles Grand Cru has a clean, precise and focused bouquet. It is very controlled, perhaps not the most flattering Chevalier at this primal stage, though delineated and focused. The palate is precise and intense, yet it is blessed with a surfeit of elegance and refinement. There is a real peacock's tail on the finish that stretches on and on. One of Jadat's best wines in 2024. Drinking Window: 2028 - 2052. 95-97 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com |

Tasting Notes"The 2024 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru has an expressive bouquet with nectarine, white peach, lime cordial and yellow flower scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly honeyed texture. There is a keen line of acidity but it just misses the complexity of Jadot's other Grand Crus on the finish. Give it a couple of years in bottle. Drinking Window. 2027-2044. 91-93 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com ------"Made in a foudre. Clean pale lemon. The bouquet is refreshingly pure, yet with a certain weight of ripe fruit. Citrus intensity through the middle, white fruit cascading over the stones, a powerful intensity, and quite some class.

IB | |||||
Tasting Notes"In foudre, so not quite so clear and shows a little bit of lees infused reduction on the nose. Only moderate depth of fruit here and a fair acidity. From two plots, in the lower part of the vineyard, the Charmes was picked a week after the other two Meursaults. Drink from 2030-2036. 91-93 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com------"The 2024 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru has a very capable bouquet with yellow plum, hints of hazelnut and litchi, a light menthol note hanging out off-stage. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Not as complex or as mineral-driven as the best Charmes this vintage, though it has a linearity and focus that is commendable. I would just like to see more nerve on the finish but otherwise a competent Meursault-Charmes. Drinking Window: 2027-2040. 91-93 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com |

Tasting Notes"The 2024 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru is a clear step up from the Charmes and Genevrières this year, with a beautifully defined mineral-driven bouquet that blossoms in the glass. The palate is taut and fresh, intense with racy acidity, real depth and drive. Very cohesive all the way through to the finish, there is a sense of completeness here derived from the propitious terroir. Superb. Drinking Window: 2027 - 2048. 93-95 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com------"Mid lemon yellow. Stylish in bouquet, not too exuberant, but with the sense of the stones infusing every aspect of the wine. This is close to full throttle and yet retains an elegance. A very long finish. Extremely good! Drink from 2032-2038. 93-96 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com |
