Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93)

Pale lime and lemon. More electric on the nose with a slight citrus too. Clean white fruit at the front of the palate, more power behind, a good example but not quite the precision of the finest. The finish continues well and shows a riper countenance. Drink from 2028-2036. Tasted: October 2023.

The 2021 Bourgogne Chardonnay has a taut and quite steely bouquet, nicely focused with more energy than some Premier Crus! The palate is very well balanced and sports a subtle reduction, fine weight with light tropical fruit towards the finish.

The 2014 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jean has a composed, mineral-rich, Puligny-like bouquet that revs up in the glass and achieves impressive vigor and focus. The palate is crisp and taut, a fine bead of acidity here, strict and linear but with plenty of fresh green apple, pear and nectarine decorating the finish. This comes recommended and should give 8-12 years of drinking pleasure.

Burghound (89-92)

There is just enough reduction present to blur the distinctions between the various fruit and floral elements. The seductive yet reasonably well-delineated medium-bodied flavors possess a really lovely mouth feel thanks primarily to the abundant level of dry extract that coats the palate on the lightly mineral and citrus-tinged finish. This is one of those wines that is so exuberantly delicious that it will be hard to resist young.

Wine Advocate (90-92)

The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jean unfurls to reveal hints of citrus oil and crisp green apple, complemented by notions of almond paste and spring flowers. Medium to full-bodied, chalky and layered, this is a mineral, succulent Clos Saint-Jean that should show well young.

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Saint-Jean 1er Cru has a detailed and generous bouquet with lemon thyme, fern and light earthy scents. The palate is well balanced, concentrated and focused, a fine bead of acidity here with plenty of depth on the finish. Excellent!
