From a north-facing site that has consequently been denied the premier cru appellation, the 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Courtelongs has turned out very well, unfurling to reveal notions of green apple, orange oil, buttery...

The 2020 Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru, half aged in 400-litre oak barrels, has a rather straightforward nose considering the vineyard in question, although it opens with aeration. The oak here is a little obtrusive. The...

From the family domaine of Aubert de Villaine who, in 2022, stepped down as co-manager of Domaine de la Romanée Conti after 48 years. In this 2021 vintage wine, instead of being sourced solely from Bouzeron, seven parcels...

An attractively layered nose combines notes of lemongrass, green apple, mineral reduction and a whiff of petrol. The highly energetic middle weight flavors possess an appealing mouth feel while delivering solid depth and...

(93-96 points) Most of the vines are massal selections planted between 1972 and 1978. Sulphured before the harvest and racked after. Pale lemon and lime, very stylish. Really refined, a touch of the expected juniper and...

(93-95 points) The 2020 Meursault Charmes 1er Cru has a complex bouquet, traces of honeysuckle, orchard fruit, hints of meadow gently unfurling on the nose. The palate is beautifully balanced with real intensity and...

(90-93 points) Here too reduction blurs the detail on the ripe aromas of white orchard fruit and petrol. The racy and even more refined flavors are less generously proportioned though they do possess very good density...

Ripe melon and pear aromas and flavors are singed by vanilla and toasty oak in this white, which is balanced and fluid overall, with adequate acidity to balance its rich character. Drink now. – BS

(92+ points) The 2020 Pouilly-Fuisse Les Chevrieres ler Cru is the only cuvee that received promotion in this vintage. Raised exclusively in demi-muids, it has a beautifully-defined bouquet with refined orange pith...

(92-95 points) Pale yellow. An effortless nose, graciously ripe, not exaggerated, yellow plum, high acidity here, a saline note even, impeccable intensity though I feel it was unfair to serve this after the world beating...

93+ The 2011 Referts from Arnaud Ente is also a very elegant and soil-driven example of the vintage. The deep and expressive bouquet offers up a mix of apple, white peach, lemon blossoms, chalky soil tones, orange zest...

(90-92 points) The 2020 Meursault Les Santenots Blanc ler Cru has a precise bouquet with lemon zest, orange blossom and crushed rock scents, all well defined and focused. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity...

Here too there is a trace of wood on the intensely floral nose that displays notes of ripe essence of pear, hazelnut and white peach. There is first-rate concentration to the caressing and highly seductive middle weight...

Aromas of crisp orchard fruit, white flowers, hazelnuts and clear honey introduce Coche's 2021 Meursault Village, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive wine with a pretty core of fruit girdled by tangy acids and...

Coche produced six barrels of the beautiful 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Les Caillerets from this seldom-seen climat on the northern side of Meursault. Wafting from the glass with scents of white flowers, crisp green orchard...
