Vinous (92-94)The 2019 Meursault Blagny La Genelottes 1er Cru is planted on white clayey soils, meaning that the vines did not suffer at all in this warm growing season. It has an engaging bouquet of white peaches and greengage, touches of red apples rather than green, and hints of lemon thyme. The palate is very well balanced with peach skin and lemon peel on the entry, a fine bead of acidity and the same spicy finish as the Hameau de Blagny. Excellent. |

Next to some of the other wines in the range, the 2011 is a bit rough around the edges, but there is no lack of conviction and personality.

Vinous (92+)Bright yellow. Musky pineapple and lemon aromas offer a bit less lift today than the Cailleret but plenty of allure. Less sweet and pristine in the middle palate than the Cailleret, but a bit thicker in texture, with the stony underpinning and spine of lemony acidity to give it a seriously penetrating quality. A sexy element of reduction adds to this young wine's considerable appeal. Conveys a strong, tactile impression of dry extract without any rough edges and finishes salty and long. A year ago, the Cailleret seemed creamier and more harmonious than this wine but this has put on weight without any loss of tension. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2018 Meursault Les Porusots 1er Cru, matured in 25% new oak, shows a little reduction on the nose, but there is decent fruit concentration underneath. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, although the reduction dominates the finish at the moment. It could evolve into a fine Les Porusots, but it will need time to lose that reduction (and possibly a good decant). |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-93)From the upper part. Pale lime and lemon. After a lean and discreet bouquet, the wine starts to fill out on the palate, racier behind yet still with a good broad basis of white fruit. Some length Tasted: October 2020 |

Vinous (88)(winemaker Brian Sieve used a bit less young oak for this wine in 2016 than in '17): Medium yellow. Nectarine and smoky oak on the fresh nose, plus a hint of hazelnut. Rich, silky, showy wine with subtle sweetness to its peach and apricot fruit. A soft, classic Meursault with good material and thickness as well as sound acidity and definition. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2017 Meursault St. Christophe is a blend of Les Petits Charrons, Narvaux and Les Tastet. It has a precise and quite attractive bouquet, the 20% new oak (half in large 600-litre barrels) is nicely integrated and imparts subtle brioche aromas. The palate is well balanced with a touch of orange cordial on the entry. There is a fine bead of acidity here with a lightly spiced finish, just a tang of lemongrass enlivening the aftertaste. Very fine at this level. |

Vinous (88-90)The 2018 Meursault "St. Christophe" is a blend of three vineyards and sees slightly less new oak that other cuvées from de Montille. There is just a slight reduction on the nose, which develops light menthol notes with aeration. The palate is easygoing, perhaps a bit commercial in style, but there is nothing wrong with that. Finishes pleasantly peachy. Drink over the next five or six years. |

Vinous (86-88)Sourced from Les Petit Charrons and Les Castet, the 2019 Meursault "St. Christophe" has a tightly wound bouquet that lacks flair compared to some of the other Meursaults from de Montille. The palate is well balanced and more expressive, offering tangerine and light grapefruit notes and a touch of ginger toward the finish. Hopefully the aromatics will find their voice by the time of bottling. |

Vinous (90-92)A blend of two parcels (Castet and Petit Charron), the 2020 Meursault "St. Christophe" sported quite a bit of reduction on the nose. The palate is well balanced, the 20% new oak neatly integrated, orange cordial and a touch of mango towards the finish. Fine length. Closure: Diam |

Vinous (89-91)A blend of Petit Charrons and Les Castets, the 2021 Meursault "St. Christophe" sports a clever reduction on the nose. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity; it's taut, fresh and saline, with an elegant and pure finish. This is well worth looking out for. |

Wine Advocate (93-95)The king of the cellar chez Coche this year is the 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes, a beautiful wine that unfurls in the glass with scents of white peach, oatmeal, spring flowers and subtle spices. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and satiny, with a deep, concentrated core, lovely purity and a bright, precise finish. This is a classic in the making that will reward cellaring. |

Vinous (87-89)The 2021 Meursault Chevalières has a pretty nose that unfurls with each swirl: yellow plum and mirabelle and just a touch of crushed stone. Understated at first, it soon finds its voice. The palate is quite sharp and lively on the entry, a touch of sour lemon with a finish that just lacks the complexity of the vintage's top Meursault. |
