At the heart of Burgundy's prestige lie its renowned vineyards, which have garnered global acclaim for their exceptional wines.

These vineyards have become synonymous with greatness, crafting wines that define elegance, complexity, and longevity.

(1x75cl) 2022Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (96)
A pale colour with a lime tint. Backward but powerful, as it should be. Taking time to build on the palate, with a mineral thread of acidity, pure white fruit, expertly poised. There may be weightier examples around, but this is certainly very fine. Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted: October 2023.Inc. GSTSG$1,088.80 -

Fresh pale lemon and lime. A return to classicism after the sultry southern style of the last Mâcon. The Bourgogne is really quite chiselled – samples served cool – with a little biscuity touch as part of the prolonged finish.Inc. GSTSG$281.74 -

(6x75cl) 2023Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90)
Pale with a lime streak. This is classically Montagny with the crushed shell note on the nose. Very intense overall, pure white fruit, just a light lemon rinse, stretching out nicely at the finish. Does just what it should.Inc. GSTSG$408.10 -
(6x75cl) 2005Vinous (90+)
Bright, dark red-ruby. Tight, high-pitched nose suggests blackberry, licorice, mint and flowers, complicated by oak spices and an inky nuance. Rich and full but a bit youthfully unforthcoming, with a distinctly primary character to its dark fruit flavors. This very fresh, young wine seems rather musclebound today, but its freshness and energy suggest it will reward six or seven years of cellaring.Inc. GSTSG$5,081.01 -

Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, the 2014 Puligny Montrachet 1Er Cru Champ Canet from Boillot has a very fine stony, gunflint and pressed flower-scented bouquet. There is a soupçon of broodiness here although it does open nicely on the palate with pretty dried apricot and Clementine notes. This is a very subtle Puligny, not overt and really open at the moment, but you have to stand back and admire the precision and detail on the finish.Inc. GSTSG$356.32 -
Vinous (91)
The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Champ Canet 1er Cru offers fine intensity on the nose of orchard fruit, touches of orange blossom and crushed stone scents, all quite intense while maintaining delineation. The palate is well defined with a fine line of acidity, and maybe just a little oaky at the moment, although that should be absorbed with time. It just feels conservative on the finish.

(6x75cl) 2019Vinous (93)
The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Champ Canet 1er Cru has a very attractive nose with enticing scents of nectarine, tinned white peaches, Braeburn apples and a light chalky note. The palate is well balanced with orange pith, apricot and lychee notes on the entry. This Champ Canet has fine depth and good tension, the mouth tingling with spicy residues after it has departed. Excellent.Inc. GSTSG$1,063.27 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94)
Pale lemon in colour. A very stylish nose, more elegance than the Referts, and a little fuller in body than La Garenne. The Champ Canet manages to be both floral and with an ideal ripeness of fruit on the nose, pure white orchard fruit across the palate, and backed by well-judged oak in the usual Jean-Marc Boillot vanilla style. Good clean acidity to finish, properly persistence. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted: October 2023.Inc. GSTSG$1,042.56 -
(1x75cl) 2023Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93)
Lemon and lime colour. The fruit comes across a little riper, with some plum skins. Notably generous on the palate but still with excellent acidity, an intriguing little touch of liquorice further back, quite complex. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Oct 2024.Inc. GSTSG$184.11 -

Lean lime colour. While the bouquet is quite hidden, this is a less clay influenced Garenne. There is enough fruit flavour on the palate, though not very much flesh, and fair persistence. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Oct 2024.Inc. GSTSG$1,074.09 -

Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, the 2014 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru la Truffière is initially a little awkward on the nose, but it coalesces in the glass, gaining more intensity and eventually unveiling fine pressed flower scents with a hint of marmalade. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, very focused and poised, saline in the mouth with a brisk, poised and energetic finish, a touch of blackcurrant leaf on the aftertaste. This is a well-crafted and quite compelling wine from J-M Boillot.Inc. GSTSG$345.07 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93)
More lemon than lime in the colour. More fruit than flowers in the bouquet. A slightly richer style of wine this year, with just enough tension behind, but these days the site is riper than in the past. There is certainly plenty of wine here. A more muscular Puligny. Drink from 2028-2035. Tasted: October 2023.Inc. GSTSG$1,086.08 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94)
Pale lemon. Quite a classy nose, still restrained but you can see a lot more to come beneath. There’s a lovely thread throughout, attractively ripe fruit, but no exotic flavours, fine tension in the middle of the palate and excellent length. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Oct 2024.Inc. GSTSG$245.14 -
Vinous (91-93)
(aging in 25% new oak, like all of these premier crus except for the Truffière): Pale, bright yellow. Aromas of yellow peach, fresh apricot, flowers and spices communicate a faintly exotic character. Rich, spicy and concentrated, with its stone fruit and citrus flavors accented by clove and anise notes. A fairly large-scaled premier cru but not at all heavy, thanks to its stony underpinning and adamant dryness. The chewy finish delivers lovely subtle rising length, very good grip and a hint of acacia flower.Inc. GSTSG$253.86 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94)
Pale primrose. A fine bouquet with some complexity, fruit as white as it is yellow, this has really maintained its grip though the fruit is at its fleshiest here, quite a long finish. Does it have quite the nervous intensity at the back? That is not really what Combettes is about. Fruit marries well with the oak here, a delicious and fairly accessible Combettes. Tasted: November 2021Inc. GSTSG$1,429.51 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93)
82% down in production I am told, meaning just 1 x 350 litre barrel, a new one. Pale lemon with a light green tint. Quite a concentration on the bouquet, fruit and oak integrated. Excellent tension behind, the fruit being concentrated enough to stand up to the oak, and the finish shows significant promise. This will come out well – if you can find any! Drink from 2026-2032. Tasted: November 2022Inc. GSTSG$1,300.87 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94)
Pale in colour, with a particularly attractive nose, discreet but with a fine balance between summer flowers and ripe apples. Not over demonstrative on the palate, but the fruit fills out the palate with complex nuances in the orchard fruit profile, and exceptional length. Drink from 2029-2037. Tasted: October 2023.Inc. GSTSG$1,079.60 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92)
Very pale colour. Pure white fruit, not quite so characterful, a little more flesh behind, but showing also the sense of fragility which I often find in Combettes these days. The fruit does not persist quite so well at the back as the best of the Jean-Marc Boillot 1ers Crus. Drink from 2028-2034. Tasted Oct 2024.Inc. GSTSG$244.05 -

(1x75cl) 2015Vinous (92)
Bright, light yellow. Lively scents of lemon zest and clove, with a touch of leesy reduction. Silky and fine-grained, with white peach and lemon flavors nicely framed by harmonious acidity. The Garenne is more generous than this wine, noted Jean-Marc Boillot, but the Referts has been finer and more elegant since the end of the fermentation. A very suave 2015 with an impression of delicacy, in spite of its alcohol close to 14%.Inc. GSTSG$264.76 -
Vinous (91)
Palish bright yellow. Ripe yellow peach on the nose, along with more exotic suggestions and a touch of reduction. Smooth, spicy and concentrated but at the same time taut and precise in spite of its impression of sucrosité. Expands in the mouth, finishing tactile, dusty and long. This has the balance to repay cellaring.Inc. GSTSG$232.80
