The 2020 Santenay Les Gravières 1er Cru has quite an intense bouquet with liquorice-tinged citrus fruit, one of Lamy's "feisty" 2020s. The palate is pithy with plenty of extract, a texturally satisfyingly Santenay rather than one with overt fruit, something almost Rhône-like towards the finish. An intriguing prospect.Inc.

The 2022 Santenay 1er Cru Clos des Gravières is especially appealing this year, bursting with aromas of pear, sweet citrus rind and stone fruit mingled with hints of freshly baked bread and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, combining attractive mid-palate amplitude with excellent cut, it's one of the sleepers of the range.Inc. GSTSG$727.47 -

This impressive white wine from red wine specialist Charles van Canneyt at Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat dispels the myth that one can’t do both. The aromas begin with a hint of lemon peel and white flowers and then opens up to encompass quince, hazelnut, and spice. The beautiful freshness of the year balances out the impressive concentration of the wine to lead to a surprisingly long finish. 2021 is van Canneyt’s fifth vintage of this wine, whose vines were previously worked by Domaine Coche-Dury.Inc.

The 2017 Viré-Clessé, which will be bottled at the beginning of 2022, has a killer nose with an almost Germanic feel, intense nectarine, melon and damp earthy scents with just a hint of petrol. The palate is beautifully balanced with a line of acidity keeping everything taut and linear. The 2017 is a little waxy in texture with orange rind, stem ginger and white pepper furnishing the very persistent finish. This is superb - a Viré-Clessé with genuine substance and longevity.Inc.

Jacques Carillon's 2016 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrières is showing brilliantly from bottle, offering up a classic bouquet of crisp green apple, lemon oil and mandarin, complemented by some subtly exotic, musky top notes that lend this wine an old-fashioned feel and which weren't perceptible from barrel. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and intensely mineral, with more flesh on its bones than the Champ Canet but with a similarly incisive line of acidity, concluding with a long finish. I suspect this is likely to drink sooner than either the Champ Canet or the Referts this year.Inc. GSTSG$2,952.59 -

(from a crop level of about 47 hectoliters per hectare): Pale, bright yellow. Ripe aromas of yellow peach, soft citrus fruits and spices. Rounder and riper than usual for this bottling, which is usually more taut in the early going, but without quite the concentration of Carillon's best 2016s. Aged in just 20% oak but one is aware of the wood element as there's only moderate buffering richness. Carillon believes that a rain shower in early September helped these grapes achieve maturity but may have resulted in a bit of dilution.Inc. GSTSG$1,895.95 -

Jacques Carillon’s 2016 Puligny-Montrachet Village is showing well from bottle, offering up notes of white peach, crisp apple, citrus zest and white flowers. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, tensile and tangy, with a crisp, chiseled profile by comparison with the more gourmand, exuberant 2017 rendition—indeed, it's much more tight-knit than it appeared before bottling. It was cropped at some 50 hectoliters per hectare and didn't suffer badly from the frosts. Its lean but concentrated format will reward some bottle age with a very classic expression of Puligny.Inc.

The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Village, a blend of several parcels, has a light Granny Smith and wet limestone-scented bouquet. It could benefit from more intensity. The palate is well balanced with more depth than expected, fine acidity though it just misses a little complexity and tension on the finish.Inc. GSTSG$821.27 -

A light green streak in the pale colour. The refinement and the precision set this apart from 2023.

The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Clos de la Maréchale Blanc shows off fabulous balance and cool, insistent minerality. It boasts tremendous energy in its chiseled notes of lemon, crushed rocks and white flowers. The aromas, flavors and minerality are pure Chardonnay but there is a breadth to the wine that is unique and may be related to the fact that the Clos de la Maréchale Blanc is made from Chardonnay grafted onto Pinot Noir rootstock.Inc.

(harvested on September 12, with potential alcohol of 12.8%; from an east-facing, cool site at the top of the hill, just under the trees, where phenolic maturity usually comes before sugar ripeness): Pale, bright, green-tinged yellow. Pungent, raw aromas of crushed stone, pepper, truffle and earth: very white soil in character. The impression of rawness continues on the tight, leanish palate, which offers pure flavors of crushed stone, pepper and saline minerality. With less stuffing here than the Montrachet, this penetrating, soil-driven wine comes across as austere. But its lingering perfume suggests that it will reward extended cellaring.Inc.

(this wine finished its sugar fermentation in December of 2000, with three grams remaining). Cool aromas of liquid stone, hazelnut and spice. Very intense, austere and powerful, with the lovely touch of sweetness balanced by gripping acids. Has the sugar/acid balance and depth of flavor of a great dry riesling from Alsace. Sappy, racy and almost painful today. Finishes with an exhilarating hint of crystallized fruits. A wine of considerable potential, but in need of at least five or six years of bottle aging.Inc.
