Domaine Niellon Michel Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 2021
Burgundy wine Clos de la Maltroie
An expressive nose that is very Chassagne offers up notes of red berry fruit, underbrush, humus, damp earth and pepper while leading to fresh, vibrant and nicely detailed middle weight flavors that are relatively forward, indeed this could be drunk now with enjoyment. A Chassagne of finesse.

"Here too there is discreet but discernible dollop of wood on the spicier and more elegant aromas of black pinot fruit, earth and floral suggestions. The racy, intense and notably finer middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the beautifully textured finale that is both more persistent and more complex. This is also very good and worth checking out.

Chassagne Clos St J
2024 was a cool vintage with small volumes in Burgundy, giving lighter, more easy-drinking reds. At just 12.5%, this red Chassagne should show bright red and black fruit, a palate between finesse and concentration

Beaune 1er Cru
Champimonts (or Champs Pimont) is a Beaune Premier Cru on the mid-slope, in the south of the appellation, on limestone soils. The wine is made without chemicals or additives, apart from a very small dose of sulphur

Delicious. Rich and supple, with black cherry and cassis aromas and flavors, all beautifully integrated into the vibrant structure.
Domaine Trapet
Gevrey 1er Cru
The 2009 Gevrey reveals aromas of milk chocolate, violets, roses, and dark cherries. Suave, displaying massive amplitude

Bourgogne
The 2022 is pale in colour, with a discreet nose of red and black berries, purple flowers and forest floor, plus a touch of cedar. The palate is broad and silky, more powerful than expected, with the ripe fruit of a sunny vintage
Domaine Comtes Lafon
Santenots Du Milieu
A very pungent nose speaks only of reduction and wood. Otherwise the succulent but more voluminous middle weight plus flavors exude a subtle minerality before concluding in solidly powerful
