SG$2,286.62 |

Vinous (95-97)The 2020 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte Grand Cru, which was undergoing its élevage in foudres, has a very sophisticated bouquet with mineral-rich citrus fruit, hints of hazelnut and lanolin. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity. There is a little more density and concentration compared to the regular Chevalier-Montrachet and though there is a patina of oak to be subsumed, this will surely age with style. Excellent. (Readers should note that no 2021 will be produced due to frost and there will just be a tiny amount of Chevalier-Montrachet.) |

Vinous (90-93)(estate version; 13.8% natural alcohol): Bright dark red. Perfumed aromas of flowers, medicinal herbs, licorice and spices, with a suggestion of creme de cassis. Sweet, lush and very ripe, but showing less detail and energy today than the young Echezeaux. Finishes with round, sweet, very polished tannins and hints of chocolate and menthol. This wine includes a lower-than-normal percentage of juice from Bouchard's holding in the lower portion of the Clos as those vines were hit hard by coulure. |

Vinous (93)Good dark red, not hugely saturated. Cool, medicinal scents of black cherry, spices and herbs. Juicy, pure and youthfully imploded, conveying excellent energy to its black fruit and licorice flavors. Not a fleshy wine but still easier to taste today than the 2015. Crisp acidity and savory minerality contribute to its penetrating quality, but there's nothing hard about this wine. Finishes with firm, ripe tannins and excellent length. |

Vinous (94)The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has quite a perfumed bouquet with brambly red fruit, sous-bois and wilted rose petals. This has delicacy and finesse. The palate is medium-bodied with a citrus-fresh entry, blood orange and marmalade infusing the dark berry fruit. Nicely proportioned with just a little oak to be soaked up on the chewy finish. Fine. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting. |

Vinous (94-96)The 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru comes from the upper part of the clos. One of my favorite aromatics from Bouchard, it is beautifully defined with effervescent red berry fruit, rose petals and basalt scents. The medium-bodied palate offers supple tannins framing pure dark berry fruit laced with white pepper and clove. Impressive mineralité comes through on the finely chiseled finish. This is a very well-crafted Clos de Vougeot. |

Tim Atkin MW (95)The Bouchard vines follow the wall that separates the Clos from Ech zeaux. This vintage they've made a very accessible – though still rather intense – Clos Vougeot replete with blueberries, cherry pits and dried wild flowers. The tannins are curvy and elegant and the back palate lift keeps the mouth watering through the steady finish. 2023-34 |

Bright red fruit with fair depth, much fresher at the finish, some pleasing crunchiness with the tannins nicely integrated. The crunch comes from the 100% whole bunch. Drink from 2028-2034.

James Suckling (96)This has quite pronounced vanilla oak, but has only just been bottled. As it aerates, notes of ripe pear, citrus and pineapple develop. Rich and creamy, this makes a bold statement, but also has lovely freshness that complements the generous body. Keeps pumping out the flavors for a long time at the finish. |

Scoring a massive 95-98 points from locally-based critic Jasper Morris MW from Inside Burgundy, he also gives it a rare and coveted 5 star status.
More Info
A Grand Cru receiving 5 star status is a truly special occasion and there is no doubt that this is a “majestic Corton-Charlemagne in the making”. A truly stunning Chardonnay, it is the highest scoring wine from Corton in 2020, even topping greats like Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey and Henri Boillot. The well-defined, tightly-packed bouquet has “considerable concentration” but will need many years before it shows its full glory. There is a “really impressive wealth of fruit here” and although it is dominating the main characteristics of the terroir currently, this will settle and there is “so much still to come” shown by the “really very long” finish. |

Vinous (90-92)(as Bouchard lost 90% of their fruit in En Orveaux, this year's wine was made almost entirely from purchased fruit from vines worked by the Bouchard team, located below the premier cru Vosne-Romanée Les Rouges): Good red-ruby color. Sexy, inviting scents of candied dark berries, raspberry, mocha and licorice. Then fat, plush and fine-grained but not as sweet as the nose suggests; there's even something a bit roasted here. Finishes with decent acidity and solid structure but comes across as rather disjointed today and hard to assess. Winemaker Weber says he may have used too high a percentage of whole clusters and gotten too much stem tannins as a result. (Incidentally, in 2017 Bouchard will have two different bottlings of Echézeaux, one domain and one négoce.) |

Full-bodied, yet so tight and formed with fruit and tannins that intertwine and spread across the palate. This represents the definition of controlled plushness. Drink in 2024 and onwards. |

Vinous (92-94)There is just one new 400-liter barrel of the 2021 Echézeaux Grand Cru and is 100% whole bunch. It has a nicely detailed bouquet, though I feel there is maybe a little too much stemminess at the moment, not that Frédéric Weber had ample choice given the depleted volume. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, very harmonious and pure. The stems are more enmeshed towards the lightly spiced finish. Lovely. But it will need time. |

The most prevalent and recognised or 'international grape' varieties in the world are mostly of French origin. The enduring popularity and respect of French wine has meant that Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvingon, Merlot and many others have been exported and experimented with around the world.
