2021 Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini, Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes 6x75cl
Sourced from 65-year-old vines, minty notes and a hint of liquorice open up this classic expression of Gevrey in which whole-bunch vinification give its seductive aromatics further lift. The oak... regime is delightfully modest, allowing a greater depth to the wine's dark, cherry-fruit core that is articulated by delicate but firm tannins. An exceptional pinot.

2021 Benjamin Leroux, Saint-Romain, Sous le Chateau 6x75cl
"There was enough fruit to make use of a good mix of barrel shapes and sizes, as St-Romain was not much frosted. Pale colour with a light green tint. Fresh bouquet, some lime blossom, good tension... here with a mineral backbone, and an attractive finish. Drink from 2024-2027.

The 2021 Meursault Village has a crisp, clean walnut and dried honey bouquet with hints of peach coming through. The palate is well balanced with a real race to the acidity, giving it a focus and exceptional tensile strength. It has the elegance of a Puligny but the power of its village. Delicious.

2021 Benjamin Leroux, Bourgogne, Blanc 6x75cl
In this cuvée Benjamin masterfully blends fruit from mostly Meursault, with some higher altitude chardonnay from the hills above Beaune. This adds real fitness and gives a Bourgogne Blanc of real... class. Large, old oak fermenting vessels and lees ageing help keep this wine remarkably fresh and elegant, with just a hint of warm butter and the fresh zing of citrus loveliness. Superb value.

2021 Yves Boyer-Martenot, Auxey-Duresses, Les Ecussaux 6x75cl
"A new addition to our portfolio from one of the up-and-coming appellations in the Côte d'Or, Vincent's Auxey-Duresses is a blend of 50% 1er Cru fruit and 50% Villages fruit. Pretty, aromatic and... juicy with a lovely weight on the mid-palate and lightly grippy, raspy tannins. Joyful and eminently gluggable yet there is a serious, structured edge that will see it reach its peak at 5-6 years old. " (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2021 Boyer Martenot, Bourgogne Aligote 6x75cl
Aligoté. A grape variety that is often ignored or overlooked, but one very much on the rise across the Côte d'Or, and which can be a real delight in the hands of top producers. Vincent’s lovely... example comes from vines in the Meursault region but located on richer and more fertile soils than those reserved for his chardonnay and pinot noir. Deliciously fresh and uplifting with a perfume of apricots and pear, it is a clean and mouth-watering aperitif wine which will also complement seafoods and salads. This could become your new “house wine!” (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

There are bright red berries on the palate, which are underpinned with a crunchy and precise balance of oak and fresh acidity.

2021 Boyer Martenot, Meursault, En l’Ormeau 6x75cl
"We picked this lieu-dit Village vineyard for its richness and immediacy, which provides the perfect counterbalance to the pithy minerality and tension found in Les Narvaux. The 98 year-old vines... planted on heavier clay soils deliver a ripe, round, powerful and long Meursault, with superb length and creamy texture. Opened and charming already at this very early stage, it is a very seductive Côte d'Or white indeed." (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2021 Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, Petite Chapelle 6x75cl
"The four-hectare Petite Chapelle vineyard is one of the easternmost Premier Crus in Gevrey-Chambertin and lies just below the Chapelle-Chambertin grand cru itself. We loved this wine when we tasted... it at the Domaine in November. It has a very floral nose with hints of gentle and seductive oak, and wonderful sprightly acidity. The cherry and stone fruit palate has a spicy and powerful underbelly, and its saline minerality rounds things off to provide truly pleasurable experience." (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

"Delicate and refined, it provides the yin to the yang of its more robust neighbour, Petite Chapelle, giving us once again an open and aromatic style of Gevrey. There is a great weight of fruit with... plenty of tension and underlying power, but it is overlaid with a real elegance and subtly that sets it apart from its more muscular compatriots. Delightful."

2021 Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes 6x75cl
"The care and effort that goes into assembling this village Gevrey is second to none. Wines from ten or more small parcels are carefully woven together, with each complimenting the other. Light stony... soils bring a subtle elegance, body and robustness comes from a selection of clay-based vines and complexity and fine structure from fruit taken from land abutting the grands crus. This year is again masterful displaying a powerful and robust ripe cherry nose that unfolds in the mouth to give a spicy elegant expression of pure pinot fruit. The tannic ramparts bode well for excellent medium-term ageing, and all together this is genuinely a true pleasure." (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

“The 2021 Chablis Les Séchets ler Cru has another very backward nose and raised only in stainless steel for 18 months, this is another "serious", perhaps "mean" nose that is designed for the most... purist Chablis-lovers. The palate is very well balanced with a killer line of acidity, taut and fresh with a lip-smacking saline finish that begs another sip. Only to be drunk with a large plate of fresh oysters!” n92-94 pts., Neal Martin, vinous.com
