The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Chabiots (négoce) wafts from the glass with aromas of peonies, orange oil, sweet red berries and spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and charming, it's lively and precise, concluding with a penetrating finish.Inc. GSTSG$2,052.97 -
Vinous (90-92)
The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes comes from two terrors and is an acquisition of fruit. The nose is quite backward at first and does not quite slip into fifth gear. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet red cherry and strawberry entry, fine acidity, quite fleshy as you would hope from a Chambolle with the 30% whole bunch imparting a welcome spiciness on the finish. Very fine.Inc. GSTSG$969.45 -

A cuvée that's purchased as wine for Lignier's négociant business, the 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos Baulet (négoce) offers up aromas of cherries, sweet berries, licorice and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, lively and charming, with tangy acids, powdery tannins and a saline finish, it's a fine complement to the range.Inc. GSTSG$1,208.22 -

The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru La Riotte opens in the glass with aromas of cherries, warm spices, wild berries, peonies and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety, with lively acids and melting tannins, it concludes with a long, saline finish.Inc. GSTSG$1,333.57 -

Pale lemon colour. A lean and crisp style of Puligny in 2021. Rather lovely on the palate, some citrus some riper fruit, more floral than the Meursault, with a clean poised and balanced finish. Drink from 2025-2028. Tasted: November 2022Inc. GSTSG$1,082.81 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (96-98)
A fine crimson colour. The bouquet is immediately appealing showing a distinction not yet apparent in the Chapelle-Chambertin, though that will come. This is the more structured of the two, possibly even a little bit stern, but with a wealth of high-class fruit behind where the refinement begins to show. Drink from 2032-2040+. Tasted: October 2023.Inc. GSTSG$2,441.27 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (96-98)
(5 Star Wine) Medium deep purple. The bouquet offers great promise, not flamboyant, a savoury red fruit but with depth behind. Nothing on the nose to say this is a stunning wine but just wait till you put it into your mouth! Such an explosion of rich ripe red fruited pinot, with a plush velvet texture which covers the tannins which are surely there for the long term future. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted: October 2023.Inc. GSTSG$1,672.82 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (95-98)
Glowing fresh crimson colour. The nose shows fresh fruit without detail as yet. I am impressed by the weight and energy of this very promising Clos Vougeot There is plenty up front, muscular, but enough behind too. A beautiful finish as pure class peeps throughout. Very happy with this! Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted: October 2023.Inc. GSTSG$1,928.65 -

The 2022 Pernand-Vergelesses Clos de la Croix de Pierre has more detail and terroir expression than the Combottes: well-defined with crushed stone and dried yellow flowers complementing the citrus fruit. The palate is well-balanced with a waxy texture. A dash of white pepper enlivens this Pernand, which fans out nicely on the finish. One of my picks from Jadot's whites this year.Inc. GSTSG$486.58 -

Phenolic and pithy again, like the Blanchot. Quite stylised for Chablis – partly ‘naturalistic’, partly oxidative! It works though, and there's a bit of oak in the mix too. Not archetypal Chablis, but still impressive.Inc. GSTSG$908.41 -
Jancis Robinson (16.5)
Tangy, open-knit, fine apple fruit and broad texture. Much more conventional than their Vaudésir and Blanchot – and perhaps less interesting therefore?Inc. GSTSG$908.41 -
Burghound (93-96)
Ripe aromas include those of plum, dark cherry, warm earth and a whisper of the sauvage. The supple, delicious and dense big-bodied flavors flash enormous power and drive that really builds from the mid-palate to the explosively long and sappy finish where the only nit is a hint of warmth. Note that this is very firmly structured and in need of at least a decade of keeping and should reward almost two.Inc. GSTSG$5,486.45 -
Burghound (93-95)
This too is firmly reduced. There is almost painful intensity to the beautifully delineated and mineral-driven broad-shouldered flavors that possess a highly refined textured before culminating in an almost crisp, moderately austere and wonderfully persistent finale that is quite firmly structured. This is a bit atypical but no less attractive for it and a Bèze that should amply reward a decade plus of cellaring. Lovely.Inc. GSTSG$4,755.02 -
Burghound (91-93)
Once again firm reduction buries the fruit and its nuances. There is excellent volume and mid-palate density to the quite full-bodied flavors that possess almost as refined a texture though the underlying muscle seems more obvious on the sappy, austere and built-to-age finale. This is very Baudes in character with its robust yet reasonably refined delivering.Inc. GSTSG$1,694.30 -
Burghound (92-95)
Reduction masks the underlying fruit though there is a really lovely inner mouth perfume to the punchy and gorgeously textured middle weight flavors that brim with minerality on the sappy and wonderfully complex finale that flashes first-rate length. This firm effort is presently quite compact and a wine that is going to need at least some bottle aging to further flesh out, though it is already very classy.Inc. GSTSG$4,523.98 -

Burghound (92-95)
A highly restrained and ultra-pure nose reflects notes of the essence of both red and dark currant, forest floor and a more discreet whiff of the sauvage. The mouthfeel is unusually rich for young Latricières though there is ample minerality adding a sense of lift to the impressively persistent, markedly firm, austere and wInc. GSTSG$3,149.45 -
Burghound (92-94)
Notably ripe yet nicely fresh and even cool aromas of poached plum and dark berry fruit coulis are trimmed in hints of earth and the sauvage. The palate impression of the big-bodied and powerful flavors is one of contrasts as the mid-palate is actually nicely refined if dense whereas the wonderfully persistent finish is robust, muscular and borderline rustic, as well as exceptionally firm. Once again, I would recommend not touching a bottle for at least a decade and this beauty should repay almost two.Inc. GSTSG$1,258.30 -
Burghound (90-93)
Pungent aromas of wood and reduction lead to almost painfully intense middle weight flavors that also possess an appealing texture that is at once rich and nicely detailed, all wrapped in lingering finish that is appealingly complex. This is very pretty and while it will likely need 12-ish years to arrive at its apogee, it should be approachable after only 5 to 7.Inc. GSTSG$2,353.75 -
Burghound (91-94)
"Outstanding" An exuberantly spicy and very Vosne nose of plum, dark fruit coulis, exotic tea and sandalwood aromas beautifully complement the sleek and detailed if not especially dense flavors that still possess good richness on the dusty, very firm and youthfully austere finale. This too is absolutely going to require at least some forbearance.Inc. GSTSG$2,124.85
