Vinous (88-90)Pale yellow. Pure aromas of apricot, peach, hazelnut and butter; like an essence of Meursault. Supple, fat and easygoing, with sweet stone fruit and hazelnut flavors carrying through to a long, satisfying finish. Perhaps less refined and nuanced than the Boutonniers but this may be as long. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2011 Meursault is totally alive in the glass. Gunpowder, slate and green pear notes emerge from a wine that impresses for its pure energy and drive. 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. It will be interesting to see if bottle age softens some of the contours. Still, there is a lot to like here. |

Vinous (93)The 1999 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru boasts a bouquet that stops you in your tracks. It is blessed with stunning delineation despite just a subtle reduction – traces of white chocolate and white truffles underlying the electrifying flint-like aromas. The palate is crisp and fresh, the warmth of that growing season imparting weight and presence to this Puligny-Montrachet, long and persistent with a hint of ginger towards the finish, completing a truly awesome Folatières. 1,455 bottles produced. Tasted at Carré des Feuillants restaurant in Paris. |

Vinous (94-96)The 2011 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières , on the other hand, conveys an impression of pure silk. Here the flavors are more sculpted and finessed than in the Richarde, while the minerality is also more apparent. With time in the glass the beauty and purity of the fruit emerges, but the Folatières convinces for its regal texture and personality alone. Readers who can find the 2011 are going to be thrilled. |

An extraordinary vintage, the d'Auvenay Puligny-Montrachet En La Richarde 2009 teems with eloquent Burgundian finesse. Crafted under the watchful expertise of renowned winemaker Lalou Bize-Leroy, its origin is the cherished terroir of Puligny-Montrachet, nestled in the heart of Burgundy. This exquisite Chardonnay, produced in minuscule quantities, unveils complex layers of ripe fruit, pared beautifully alongside a seamless mineral backbone and finely honed acuity. Benefiting from meticulous biodynamic farming, this wine matures in French oak barrels, with partial malolactic fermentation inducing a voluptuous creaminess. A superior expression of its vintage, it harmonises dazzling acidity with generous ripeness. The captivating intensity of the d'Auvenay Puligny-Montrachet En La Richarde 2009 truly delivers the epitome of elegance, setting a benchmark for white Burgundy. With a potential to evolve, this wine cements d'Auvenay as a much-coveted producer in the annals of fine wine. |
