NM95-97
"The 2022 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is stunning. It exudes textural depth, intensity and pedigree from the very first taste. I imagine it will still be stellar in another few years' time. For now,... it is a wine to think about cellaring. Time brings out dried lemon peel, sage, mint, chamomile, salt and crushed rock scents that lend both vibrancy and complexity. In most vintages, the Blanc is either incredibly steely or ample in feel. In 2022, it is both. Tasted four times." 95-97 pts., Neal Martin, vinous.com

NM94-96
"The 2022 Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc is matured in 50% new oak for a planned 12 months, removed from barrel after 9 months with three months in vat after blending. It has a very perfumed nose with... yellow plums, jasmine, walnut and touches of fennel. The palate is medium-bodied with fine depth and acidity. Waxy in texture, with hazelnut and white pepper toward the saline, almost creamy finish."

DE96
"Toasted oak, lanolin, honeyed caramel, lemon zest and red apple peel on both the nose and palate. This has an unctuosity, a richness to the texture giving beautiful honeyed lemon touches with... Semillon fatness and intensity from the Sauvignon. It’s sleeping a little right now, feels as if it’s calm and quiet, not yet ready to show the world what it’s about but you do get a precision and detail along the edges, a real sculpting of elements. I love the presentation, such a success for the vintage, excellent winemaking on show. It's the soft vibration you get as the flavours travel from start to finish that is so promising - a lot of life and immense enjoyment to come from this." 96 pts., Georgina Hindle, decanter.com

DE95
“The 2021 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc, picked September 13–23 at 40hL/ha, has a captivating, complex bouquet of yellow flowers, white peach, wet limestone and just a faint hint of elderflower in... the background. The taut palate is well-balanced with a superb line of acidity. Conveying tangible energy from start to finish, this builds in the mouth toward a persistent finish that fans out gloriously. One of the best Domaine de Chevalier whites that I have tasted in 20-plus years.” 95-97, Neal Martin, www.vinous.com

"From a sunny site with hard limestone soils, the 2023 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos du Meix—shaped by cool nights that confer a racier, fresher, more incisive profile—offers aromas of nashi pear,... peach and toast, followed by a medium- to full-bodied, chiseled palate that concludes with a long, chalky finish. It lies a stone’s throw from the Derrière Chez Édouard vineyard."

"Limpid yellow-gold. Grapefruit pith, Meyer lemon, pear skin, honeysuckle and a hint of beeswax on the incisive nose. Chewy and deeply concentrated but lithe as well, offering palate-staining citrus... and orchard fruit flavors complemented by suggestions of chamomile, green tea, chalky minerals and botanical herbs. Shows superb definition and citrus-fruit-driven lift on the finish, which hangs on with serious tenacity."

AG96
“Bollinger’s 2018 La Grande Année is quite pretty and delicate. Floral and citrus notes are nicely lifted in a Grande Année that offers notable sensuality and grace. Hints of orchard fruit,... chamomile, mint and chalk build through the mid-palate and into the taut, chiseled finish. There’s plenty of energy and focus. More importantly, this is a fine effort in a year marked by high yields in Champagne. I would give this a few years in the cellar. The 2018 is 66% Pinot Noir and 34% Chardonnay from 19 villages, 73% Grand Cru and 37% Premier Cru. The core villages are Aÿ, Verzenay and Mareuil for Pinot Noir and Avize, Chouilly and Cuis for the Chardonnay. Dosage is 7 grams per liter. Disgorged: March 2025” Drink 2030-2048

JM92-93
"Not yet in bottle. This is significantly more backward. The nose in particular. But then this blend of Casse Tete and Murger de Monthelie is always the most profound. It shows in the density of ripe... orchard fruit on the palate, and the energy of the fruit at the finish. The vin de garde among the Meursaults. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Dec 2024." 92-93 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy

MJ18.5TA96
"One of a handful of Cape whites that I buy most years and expect to cellar for a decade, this is a subtle, refined, early picked Franschhoek blend of Semillon and 3% Muscat d'Alexandrie. Deftly... fermented in 70% new barrels, it has beguiling aromas of vanilla spice, cardamom and saffron, layers of tangerine, beeswax and fresh lemons and understated concentration."

£171 / Case£28.50 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: En Primeur2024 Laurent Cognard, Montagny Premier Cru, Cuvee Lison 6x75cl
Fruit from Laurent's top vineyard of "La Grande Pièce" is matured half in 500 litre oak barrels and half in sandstone amphoras. Cuvée Lison shows off superb texture, full body and mineral tension around the elegant and fresh pear-scented core of fruit. Precise, savoury, begging for grilled chicken or sea bass.

The 2024 Montagny 1er Cru & Co may well be the finest we have ever tasted at this Domaine. Harmonious, perfectly balanced, with hints of beeswax on the rich texture, honeyed edges and lively citrus fruit, it is absolutely stunning. A great advert for the gorgeousness of the 2024 vintage for chardonnay.

Fresh, lively with an excellent spine of acidity which is matched beautifully by the juicy texture and well poised mid-palate. Saline notes come through on the finish. Lovely and an absolute bargain!

Mathias is so happy with the whites produced in his Hautes Côtes vineyard above Nuits-Saint-Georges that he is replacing more of the plot's pinot with chardonnay. Following the domaine's tight and... mineral style, here is a white balancing fresh citrus and just a hint of stone fruit with a minerally edge on the finish. Excellent texture, refreshing and precise. Excellent.
£135 / Case£22.50 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: En Primeur2024 Domaine Morey Coffinet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Les Houilleres 6x75cl
"In bottle. Bright mid lemon colour. A touch of oak here as well as some candied citrus aromatics. The fruit is altogether more evident at the front of the palate and continues with energy through to a persistent finish. Drink from 2028-2031. Tasted Oct 2025."

"Fuller yellow. Lots of energy to this, a mix of flesh and stones on the nose, replicated on the palate as a substantial mouthful of wines. Indeed, one of the fuller bodied Caillerets though the stones are well in place as well. Fine tension at the back, very promising. Tasted Oct 2025.". 92-94 pts., Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com

"In bottle. Mid lemon yellow. Discreet and fine on the nose, understated. Then the wine begins to build on the palate, becoming very stylish further back, a supremely elegant Chassagne which should be good to enjoy early but might surprise with additional longevity. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted Oct 2025."

Beautifully fragrant on the nose with delicate notes of acacia and beeswax. Very fine and delicate on the palate, this Baby Chassagne displays lovely, zingy acidity on the finish. Delicious right now

Stunningly focused and minerally with a very long finish, this is a juicy and delicious yet serious, age-worthy and supremely elegant Meursault. One to put away and forget for a few years.

Citrussy freshness abounds, with a lovely intensity and satisfying weight on the mid-palate. A classic example of Les Forgets, gorgeous and ready to enjoy as soon as it lands, and for the next couple of years after that.

"The 2021 Doisy Daene is fabulous. Sweet floral notes, orchard fruit, mint and passion fruit all lend notably flavour intensity. The 2021 is rich and unctuous, but not at all heavy. It is a fabulous example of both the chateau and the vintage. " 93-95 pts., Antonio Galloni, vinous.com
