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 Domaine Gerard Thomas, Saint-Aubin Premier Cru, Les Murgers des Dents de Chien 12x75cl
The piles of stones that give this vineyard its name are less common these days but can still be found on this imposing hillside adjacent to some of the best vineyards in neighbouring Puligny.
From a... vineyard a stone’s throw from Le Montrachet, this is richly textured with a great purity of fruit that manages to balance a precise lemon freshness on the nose with a creamy mineral finish on the palate. It is both hugely satisfying and eminently elegant.

2020 Domaine William Fevre, Chablis Grand Cru, Cote Bouguerots 6x75cl
“The 2020 Chablis Bougros Côte Bouguerots Grand Cru comes from two south-facing parcels on steep, sunny inclines. Proximity to the river keeps nighttime temperatures lower, maintaining acidity.... The intense nose features lemon thyme, crushed pebbles and sea spray scents. The palate sports a minor reduction, but there is fine depth here along with a keen line of acidity. Touches of white peach and nectarine emerge toward the minerally finish. Very fine.” Drink 2024-2042, 92-94 pts. Neal Martin, www.vinous.com

2020 Dominique Lafon, Bourgogne, Blanc 12x75cl
Already responsible for some of the very finest white wines in the world at his family Domaine in Meursault, and for some of the best value the world of wine has to offer in their Maconnais outfit;... Dominique Lafon has also been making his own wines for 11 years now, from vineyards he either owns or manages. The Dominique Lafon wines, produced at the Château de Bligny winery, are superb, showing the value of Dominique’s talent, experience and meticulous attention to detail. Simply, these are wines produced by one of the worlds greatest vinous talents.
This blend of fruit from powerful Meursault and lifted, highly toned Puligny has been a firm favourite here in recent years. A classy Côte d'Or white crafted by one of the most celebrated names in the region, and at a sensationally attractive price point. Here’s a wine of stunning value -- one not to be missed.

This monopole Clos vineyard, right at the top of the hill, yields fruit of rare intensity and power, with excellent balancing acidity; deservedly given a little more new oak than the rest of the... range it delivers a sublime mix of creamy citrus curd and chalky notes on the long and clean, fresh finish. Breathtaking power and elegance in this cuvee from a producer redefining expectations for a whole appellation… What a wine!

2020 Benjamin Leroux, Auxey-Duresses, 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.
With demand (and therefore prices) for St Aubin skyrocketing in recent years, Auxey-Duresses has replaced it as one of the best sources of value whites with more than a passing resemblance to the hallowed communes on the other side of the hill. Once again, Benjamin's hand is plain to see through this wonderfully fresh white of great textural interest - one to drink over the next 3 to 5 years, and a brilliant alternative to the classic styles.

2020 Jean-Marc Boillot, Montagny, Premier Cru 6x75cl
Jean-Marc sources superb quality fruit from a small number of growers in Montagny, and shows off his winemaking expertise in this delicious cuvée, which blends a lovely mouthfeel and weight with a fresh spine of acidity. A rich yet juicy and immensely moreish Montagny.

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.

2020 Domaine William Fevre, Chablis Premier Cru, Fourchaume 6x75cl
“An abundance of Chablis typicity is present on the aromas of mineral reduction, white orchard fruit, citrus zest and tidal pool. There is again very good volume and density to the medium-bodied... flavors that are unusually powerful for Fourchaume, all wrapped in a lemony and almost salty finish. This is quite promising and particularly so for a négociant offering... Outstanding," (Burghound)

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 Domaine Morey Coffinet, Bourgogne, Blanc 12x75cl
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.

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.
Very intensely citrussy yet with an elegant, pithy texture and a dry, mineral finish. This is a very serious Bourgogne Blanc that will age well for 3 to 5 years, developing more savoury complexity and length.

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.
