Jean-Michel Guillon Morey-Saint-Denis La Riotte 2022 is a quintessential expression of Burgundy’s esteemed terroir. Crafted in the heart of Morey-Saint-Denis, this Pinot Noir is meticulously vinified by the renowned Jean-Michel Guillon, whose dedication to traditional Burgundian techniques ensures exceptional quality. Hand-harvested from the La Riotte vineyard, the grapes undergo a gentle fermentation process in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, preserving the wine’s delicate aromatics and vibrant acidity. A modest proportion of oak is introduced during ageing in French barrels, enhancing the wine’s complexity without overshadowing its intrinsic fruit character. The 2022 vintage showcases deep garnet hues, with an intricate bouquet of red berries, subtle earthy undertones, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it is elegantly structured, offering silky tannins and a long, harmonious finish. Jean-Michel Guillon Morey-Saint-Denis La Riotte 2022 promises both immediate enjoyment and graceful ageing potential, making it a distinguished addition to any fine wine collection. |

Vinous (92)The 2010 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru from Jean-Noel Gagnard, out of magnum, is quite deep in color, although not premoxed. It has an open bouquet of white flowers, yellow plum and orange pith, nicely defined if just needing a little more mineralité. The palate is fresh and vibrant with crisp acidity, lovely walnut and hazelnut notes rendering it quite Meursault-like, and plenty of weight and concentration toward the finish. I do not estimate this to be a long-term Bâtard, so don’t hesitate to pull the cork soon. Tasted at Sarah Marsh’s 2010 white burgundy tasting in London. |

Burghound (93)A notably ripe and ever-so-mildly exotic but not really surmature nose consists primarily of spicy white orchard fruit along with hints of wood, white flowers and viognier. The rich, opulent and vibrant broad-shouldered flavors possess lovely complexity while delivering excellent length on the powerful and focused if somewhat linear finish. This will almost certainly add body with age, and it appears to be structured for mid to even longer-term cellaring. |

Vinous (94)The 2019 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from a one-third hectare of vines of which half is en friche (fallow), so only a couple of barrels are produced. It has a very delineated bouquet with enticing citrus peel, crushed pebbles, Clementine and blackcurrant leaf aromas. The palate is very well balanced with impressive concentration and slightly viscous on the entry. Quite rich for a Bâtard-Montrachet yet poised and mineral-driven on the finish. What a wonderful Bâtard-Montrachet - and I confess that I could not resist a cheeky morning sip! |

Vinous (89-91)The 2021 Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru shows a little more reduction on the nose compared to other cuvées but a pleasant flintiness develops with time.

Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers and minty notes all flesh out in a Chablis endowed with striking depth and resonance - all qualities that build into the long, beautifully persistent finish. This is one of the bigger premiers crus in the range, but it also retains terrific freshness and vibrancy. |

Vinous (92)The 2019 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru is quite expressive on the nose of red and green apples; touches of orange blossom develop with air. The lightly spiced palate is concentrated, a richer style for the vintage, and then turns quite nutty thanks to deeper, more clay-rich soils that lend toastiness on the finish. Very fine. |

Burghound (90)(from Montmains proper; 40% 2 and 3-year-old oak). Prominent notes of mineral reduction and just picked white flowers suffuse the aromas of tidal pool, algae and zest. The rich but vibrant medium weight flavors possess even more obvious minerality on the cool, firm and delineated finish that is clean, moderately dry, citrusy and sneaky long. Lovely and understated in style. |

Burghound (89-92)(from Montmains proper; 40% 2 and 3-year-old oak). Here too there is a discreet application of wood in evidence, which is all that is evident as the nose is quite firmly reduced. More interesting are the delicious and relatively refined medium weight flavors that possess slightly better energy and particularly so on the stony, refreshing and sneaky long finale. This should be lovely after only 4 to 6 years of cellaring. |

Decanter (95)This exquisite wine enchants with a complex nose of lime peel, gooseberry and pear with hints of smoky reduction and a salty mineral edge. The wine is dense and compact, and its weight is perfectly balanced by racy acidity. The grapes are from 1.76ha in the blue clay soils of the Côte de Bréchain. They are crushed and fermented in tank and cask (25%). In the view of Benoît Droin, this is a 'super premier cru' – grand cru-adjacent, like Chambolle Amoureuses and Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques. |
