Premier Cru
2021 Domaine William Fevre, Chablis Premier Cru, Vaillons 6x75cl
"The 2021 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru, which comes from around 12 parcels, 3.5-hectares, two-thirds within the "Vaillons" climats in the heart of the appellation. This has a slightly yeasty nose at the... moment, not a million miles away from the Montmains in style. The palate is slightly different with a little more frisson and tension, just a touch more length on the finish. This should develop nicely in bottle." 91-93 pts., Neal Martin, vinous.com

2021 Domaine William Fevre, Chablis Premier Cru, Montee de Tonnerre 6x75cl
"The 2021 Chablis Montee de Tonnerre ler Cru comes from 2.2-hectares split over three climats with different orientations including the domaine's oldest vines planted back in 1936. This has quite an... aromatic bouquet with limestone, oyster shell and yellow plum aromas that blossom in the glass. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, harmonious with commendable weight matched with a countervailing saline element. Bright and sparky, enjoy this delicious Chablis over the next 15 years." 91-93 pts., Neal Martin, vinous.com

2019 Comte Armand, Volnay Premier Cru, Fremiets 6x75cl
"The 2019 Volnay Les Fromiets ler Cru was completely de-stemmed. It has a more complex, intellectual bouquet than the Village Cru as you would expect, armed with vivid blueberry, cassis and raspberry... scents, blood orange emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip on the entry. I find more red fruit here compared to the Village Cru. This gains decent weight and gifts more salinity towards the chalky-textured finish. Excellent." 91-92 pts., Neal Martin, vinous.com

2022 Claudie Jobard, Rully Premier Cru, Les Cloux 6x75cl
"Markèd increase in intensity; ripe and concentrated. Juicy acidity, this is seductive, mellow and ready to drink now and for the next 3-4 years. Lovely texture again with just a hint of beeswax and... winter spice lifting the lemon curd notes. Closest to Meursault in style this year, and a very handy doppelganger at a fraction of the price. " (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2022 Claudie Jobard, Pommard Premier Cru, Les Charmots 6x75cl
"Vineyard just above Grands Epenottes, a couple hundred yards from Beaune Les Epenottes up the Côte. On the nose more cherry, but neither black nor morello. Just juicy, ripe, fleshy red. This... follows through on the palate with a gorgeously fleshy, succulent texture and superbly integrated, fruit-coated velvety tannins. Very elegant indeed, and with all the power and energy de rigueur in this appellation. Simply superb. " (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2022 Claudie Jobard, Beaune Premier Cru, Les Epenotes 6x75cl
"(Almost) next to Pommard’s own Les Epenotes. Slightly more timid on the nose then followed by superb explosive energy in the mid-palate; red-fruit dominate the flavour profile with a velvety... finish and long, finish driven by deliciously ripe juicy acidity. The structure comes through almost as an afterthought, but is very much there, again very gently extracted by Claudie, yet enough to see this safely into a second decade of ageing."

2021 Claudie Jobard, Beaune Premier Cru, Les Epenotes 12x75cl
The continuation into Beaune of Les Epenots, one of two vineyards in Pommard considered for promotion to Grand Cru status. With the added mid-palate fat and ripeness in Beaune here is a cuvée that delivers superb structure and power, and will age gracefully for a couple of decades. (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2021 Claudie Jobard, Pommard Premier Cru, Les Charmots 12x75cl
A remarkable terroir, oriented south/south-east and planted with very old vines (dating back to 1919), producing a tender, rich, concentrated, age-worthy pinot noir.

2021 Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, Champonnet 6x75cl
Juicy black cherry flecked with black pepper and clove follow the seductive, open aromatics that a whole-bunch fermentation approach provides. Intensely flavoured, firmly structured, finishing long and savoury. Great ageing potential in the 2021. (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

From a great vineyard abutting the grand cru of Mazis-Chambertin, here is elegance and dynamism in a wine with sumptuous layers of morello cherry, fresh herbs, and tempered by a delightful freshness and complexity. One to provide intense drinking pleasure over the next 10 to 15 years.

2020 Yves Boyer Martenot, Meursault Premier Cru, Charmes 6x75cl
From vines at the western edge of Meursault’s Premier cru vineyards, Vincent’s Charmes is aptly named. This pretty wine is already open and expressive with an enticing richness that complements its refined citrus and mineral backbone. A superb example of Chardonnay at its crafted best.

2021 Samuel Billaud, Chablis Premier Cru, Les Fourneaux 12x75cl
"The 2021 Chablis Les Fourneaux ler Cru has a superb bouquet with scents of dried honey, wax resin and flinty aromas, powerful and very well focused. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead... of acidity, taut and fresh, lovely salinity lending tension and persistence on the finish. As good a Fourneaux as you will find.

2021 Jean-Jacques Girard, Beaune Premier Cru, Clos du Roi Rouge 6x75cl
"Girard’s Clos de Roi has been consistently impressive since it was first made in 2007, and this vintage is no exception. Situated at the northern end of a strip of premier cru vineyards to the... west of Beaune it has produced a wine of ripe and forward dark cherry fruit that is entwined with a gentle and judicious use of oak and fresh acidity. The tannins are silky and refined boding well for a graceful future. " (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2021 Jean-Jacques Girard, Savigny-les-Beaune Premier Cru, Les Rouvrettes 6x75cl
"Beautifully fragrant with hints of cherry raspberry and blackcurrant driving this wine forward. It is superbly balanced with a precise acidity and refined tannins framing a very classy and elegant structure. It is already opening up but will undoubtedly continue to please for many years to come." (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2018 Sylvie Esmonin, Gevrey-Chambertin 6x75cl
"The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, matured in 40% new oak with 40% whole bunch, has an intense bouquet of black cherries, iodine and blueberry aromas that burst from the glass. The intense palate... is medium-bodied with supple tannins, blood-orange-infused red fruit and a touch of pain d’épices and black pepper toward the finish. Fine." 90-92, Neal Martin, www.vinous.com

2021 Laurent Cognard, Montagny 1er Cru & Co 6x75cl
"One of our most popular white cuvées since its inclusion in our offer a couple of years ago, and it is very easy indeed to see why; the 2021 shows beautiful harmony, concentrated, rounded butttery... citrus fruit and expressive aromatics. Lauren't wines all have a lovely texture, and again it is perfectly exemplified here with very fine dry extract and lifted aromatics; a super white to rival the more hallowed names in the Côte de Beaune."
