Hailing from the esteemed soils of France's Burgundy region, the Gerard Duplessis Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2017 presents a mesmerising palate of sophistication. This wine is the embodiment of Duplessis' meticulous, sustainable viticultural practices used in the Vaillons vineyard, located on the left banks of the Serein River. The predominance of Kimmeridgean clay imparts a remarkable minerality and vibrancy into the wine. Crafted from 25-year-old vines, it undergoes alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks to retain its exquisite purity and freshness. This wine showcases coveted characteristics of the classic Chablis chardonnay – a blossoming bouquet of ripe green apple and citrus zest, entwined with subtle floral nuances and a dash of flint. On the palate, it graces with a gratifyingly lean and crisp texture, ending in a long, minerally finish. The Gerard Duplessis Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2017 is indeed a thrilling manifestation of an exceptional terroir and outstanding winemaking tradition. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (90-92)The 2017 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru has a slightly earthier bouquet than the more flattering Mont de Milieu at the moment, just a touch of oyster shell coming through with aeration. The palate is well balanced with noticeable weight and girth, good volume in the mouth with veins of stem ginger, fanning out with confidence on the finish. Very fine, though I prefer the elegance of the Mont de Milieu at this prenatal stage. |

Vinous (88)The 2015 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre has an attractive if slightly obvious bouquet of lime cordial, orange zest and a touch of lychee. The palate is well balanced, with a fine thread of acidity, although like many of its peers, it feels smudged toward the finish and lacks the detail of 2014 or 2017. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Burghound (95)(from a .54 ha parcel that is now controlled 100% by the domaine). An exuberantly floralsuffused nose is also cool, pure and airy with its ripe aromas of the essence of wild red currant and truffle hints. The supersleek, intense and chiseled middleweight flavors are almost as mineral-driven as the Les Cras though with more power on the youthfully austere and hugely persistent finish. This is superb and highly recommended. |

Jancis Robinson (19)Just less than 0.1 ha (a quarter of an acre). Ancient vines – 1905 or possibly older because the register of vineyards was rewritten in 1905 and when they didn’t know how old a vineyard was they just wrote 1905. His grandfather started as a share-cropper on this vineyard in 1924 and the vines were already old. 80% whole bunch. Barrel sample from a 2016 barrel that is three-quarters of the usual 228-litre size. Deep smudgy crimson. How can grapes become a wine like this? The aroma is outstanding. Deep not explosive, yet still with a prettiness in its seriousness. There’s red and dark fruit, there’s spice, there’s peony, there’s rocky minerality. Super-smooth tannins. Fine grained and not far off silky already. Pure, lifted and precise. Outstanding elegance and length. |

Vinous (98+)Saturated dark red. Knockout nose combines blueberry, blackberry, violet, orange peel, crushed rocks and minerals. Almost painful in its pure sappy density, with palate-staining flavors of wild dark berries, flowers, and pepper. And yet this is easier to taste today than the comparatively compact Bonnes-Mares. The fabulous mounting finish goes on and on. An incredible wine, with great complexity to come. This boasts the density of a diamond. |

Burghound (93)(a 2.59 ha monopole of the domaine). A more deeply pitched and noticeably riper nose is comprised by notes of poached plum, newly turned earth and a floral top note. The exceptionally rich and very generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors possess a suave mid-palate mouthfeel that contrasts moderately with the strikingly long finale that is both slightly austere and rustic but already impressively complex. This firm and serious effort is one of the better vintages for the Clos de la Bussière in a while and well-worth your interest. |

Wonderful definition here with airy and pure red fruit. The palate is very well balanced with fine structure, more cohesion, superb mineral tension with a harmonious bay leaf tinged finish. This is a finely crafted Morey-Saint-Denis from Roumier. |

The rich velvet-textured medium-bodied flavors possess a seductive mid-palate that contrasts somewhat with the impressively long if robust and moderately rustic finale. This is excellent but will definitely need patience. |

It is a little more floral than previous vintages – delicate, even. The palate is medium-bodied with a quite saline, lightly spiced entry. Touches of white pepper and clove develop toward the finish of what is a superior Clos de la Bussière to the 2018. Very promising. |

Vinous (92)The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos de la Bussière 1er Cru was broody when I first tasted it from barrel. In bottle it has certainly opened up nicely, quintessentially "Morey" in style with dark berry fruit, sous-bois and a very subtle herbal element that derives from a summer that was less warm than 2016 or 2018. The palate is beautifully balanced with a fine bead of acidity, gentle grip and fine-boned tannins. There is wonderful salinity towards the finish, open and dare I say, virtually ready for business. Does it have the substance to deliver long-term cellaring? Of that, I am not so sure, but I don't think this wine really cares to be quite honest. [Readers should note that this markedly improved the second evening after opening, evolving greater cohesion and a little more corpulence.] |

Wine Advocate (92-94)The 2015 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos de la Bussière, which contains 50% whole bunch fruit, has a clean and precise, almost pixelated bouquet with blackberry, briary and cold limestone scents that gain intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, quite structured in the mouth with filigree and tensile tannin. This is very focused, linear in style, which is surprising given the warmth during the growing season, with great clarity on the finish. This is just a fantastic Morey-Saint-Denis from Christophe Roumier. |
