A truly brilliant winemaking force and winemaker very dear to the heart of Mr.Wheeler; Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot is one of the very best sources of fine Burgundy. Whilst his reds clearly demonstrate why Chassagne first established its reputation as a red wine commune, Jean-Marc’s whites are seductive and richly-textured with superb precision, opened aromatics and flawless balance. From modest Santenay and St Romain to the exalted Chevalier-Montrachet, there is also something to suit all budgets – only one thing is certain: we all need one (or three) of Jean-Marc’s wines in our Burgundy selection.
From very old vines located just above le Montrachet, the position and low yield harvest promise excellence. This Chenevottes does not disappoint as it is once again a massive, concentrated wine with ripe toasty citrus fruit and an underlying vibrancy and precision that makes for gratifying drinking now and several years of graceful ageing.

2020 Samuel Billaud, Petit Chablis 12x75cl
The Billaud family have been producing great Chablis since 1815. 6th generation Samuel set out on his own in 2010 and it is fair to say that after a decade, his dynamic approach and great winemaking... touch have taken his domaine from a status of Rising Star to one of the very best, established growers in the region. Samuel makes precise, elegant and terroir-true expressions of every vineyard in his care. His wines are electric and simply crackle with the tension and vibrancy which can be found in the region's best wines. Offering scintillating wines from the refreshing, steely fresh Petit-Chablis through to bold and dynamic Grand Crus, Samuel Billaud is a master of his craft, and as Neal Martin points out, "We should see him right at the top of Chablis producers alongside the likes of Raveneau and Vincent Dauvissat". These are singular Chablis and the sheer embodiment of purity and poise.

2020 Patrick Javillier, Bourgogne, Forgets Blanc 12x75cl
In contrast to its sister “Oligocène”, Les Forgets comes from vines grown on clay soils – and this difference in terroir is very clear. There is more immediate richness to the fruit, but it... still retains the laser-like precision and butterscotch notes that make Javillier’s wines so enticing. A tasting of the 2019 vintage whilst at the property in November showed what another year in bottle can do – it is simply delicious. The 2020 is undoubtedly one to enjoy when it arrives, but there will certainly be no rush.

2020 Hubert Lamy, Bourgogne, Chataigners 6x75cl
Olivier Lamy runs what is widely considered the finest estate in Saint-Aubin, and indeed one of the finest in the Côte d'Or. The wines here frequently put to shame Puligny or Chassagne at twice the... price. Clearly one of Burgundy’s greatest talents, Olivier’s overriding pursuit of excellence in the vineyard, and of purity and definition in each and every cuvée yields wines of scintillating freshness, brilliant terroir expression and superb age worthiness. A Domaine to follow year in, year out, and in scintillating form once again.
An ambitious Bourgogne Blanc that represents the perfect introduction to this universally lauded producer, Chataigniers is impressive for its textural interest, high-tones aromatics and precise, lime and seashell-driven finish. A wine of real class and complexity, even for its relatively modest appellation.

2020 Domaine William Fevre, Chablis Grand Cru, Les Clos 6x75cl
The 2020 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru comes from 10 parcels scattered mainly over the top of the hill. It has a well-defined, crisp and (for the vintage) quite austere nose due to the location higher... up the slope. The fresh palate is nicely detailed with lime and lemon thyme and good salinity. Quite strict on the mineral-driven finish. Good potential, but it will need time.

2020 Benjamin Leroux, Meursault, Blanc 6x75cl
Benjamin has been a good friend of ours since his days at Comte Armand, and his powerful, impressive winemaking style shines through in 2020 where concentration meets with backbone and guile in the... Volnay commune. He remembers his first ever visit to the UK back in 1999 where he spent some time staying with Richard Wheeler (Johnny's father, sadly passed away last year), memorable not least for the friendly dispute regarding the relative merits of local Mersea native Oysters versus their French counterparts! Benjamin’s Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans reflects the greatest attributes of this excellent vintage. Density, richness and structure are all to the fore in a cuvée which gets better with every passing vintage.

2020 Domaine Morey Coffinet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Les Houilleres 6x75cl
We discovered the wines of this Chassagne-Montrachet rising star (established in its current form "only" 30 years ago, although the family cellars date from the 16th century) for the first time in... 2020, and although we were immediately impressed by the portfolio of great vineyards the Morey family cultivate, it was upon tasting the wines with Thibault Morey that we fell in love with them. The estate is run according to biodynamic principles throughout. Thibault is one of the new generation of winemakers who, through precise, rigorous work and an open mind not only to traditional and modern techniques but also to different expressions of the Burgundy terroirs, produce truly exciting wines. These are wines that combine richness and power with complexity and elegance effortlessly, and they come highly recommended.
With a superb intensity of citrus fruit dominating its core, this village cuvée shows particularly impressive balance and body: round, rich, long and a gorgeously seductive fruit profile that finishes very cleanly and in great freshness. This lieu-dit greatly impressed us last year; in 2020, Thibault has very much upped the ante.

2020 Rully Montagne La Folie, Jobard 12x75cl
This is a really impressive wine. Lovely forward citrus fruits with an underlying richness of buttered toast and just a hint of honey. Superbly fresh once again, its fine mineral spine frames this outstanding value white Chalonnaise from a brilliant vintage.

2020 Patrick Javillier, Meursault, Tete Murgers 6x75cl
Made from grapes harvested from two tiny sites in Meursault, with vines of over 30 years of age, Marion masterfully crafts a wine of great power and finesse. Rich, complex and multi-layered flavours... of citrus and lightly toasted almonds take you on a a delightful and expressive journey. It is direct and forceful, yet with an underlying and quite contradictory subtlety that make it absolutely fabulous!

2020 Jean-Marc Pillot, Puligny-Montrachet, Noyer Bret 6x75cl
A truly brilliant winemaking force and winemaker very dear to the heart of Mr.Wheeler; Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot is one of the very best sources of fine Burgundy. Whilst his reds clearly demonstrate... why Chassagne first established its reputation as a red wine commune, Jean-Marc’s whites are seductive and richly-textured with superb precision, opened aromatics and flawless balance. From modest Santenay and St Romain to the exalted Chevalier-Montrachet, there is also something to suit all budgets – only one thing is certain: we all need one (or three) of Jean-Marc’s wines in our Burgundy selection.
Located at the south-eastern edge of Puligny, the Noyers Brets vineyard is widely recognised as producing some of the best “village” wine in the region. Its limestone and clay soils give great weight and minerality, and in this vintage it is no exception. Classic, serious, with a typical buttery richness that is tempered by the tropical overtones of pineapple and lime. A few good years in the cellar are highly recommended for the 2020 and promise optimum drinking pleasure.

2020 Domaine Gerard Thomas, Saint-Aubin, Champ Tirant 12x75cl

2020 Domaine des Malandes, Chablis Premier Cru, Cote de Lechet 6x75cl
André and Gabrielle Tremblay harvested their first grapes in the Fourchaume vineyard in 1949. They passed on what is now Domaine des Malandes to their daughter, who in turn bequeathed the estate to... her children Richard and Amandine, who are now at the helm of this excellent Domaine. The wines here shine in the 2020 vintage, and manage to combine the minerality, precision and classicality of traditional Chablis, with a touch more roundness, expression and generosity. The Premiers and Grands Crus are a beacon of quality.
The sunny conditions in 2020 have yielded a particularly approachable example from this cooler site. Pear drops and white peach feature, with just a touch of citrus on the finish. One for earlier drinking this year, give it a couple of years in the bottle and it will ready to go.
