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.
Domaine de l'Arlot
Nuits 1er Cru
The nose is pure and delicate, with strawberry, raspberry and bramble, and earthy touches that emerge with air. The medium-bodied palate shows black plum, a hint of spice and liquorice

Domaine Anne Gros
Chambolle Musigny
Domaine Pillot F&l
Saint-Aubin 1er Cru
The 2024 shows a nose of citrus peel and white fruit, with a youthful touch of oak. The palate is fine, bright and taut, carried by a clear mineral freshness

Here the nose is notably more reserved though just as pure and ripe with a similar nose of white orchard fruit along with spice, lemon hint
Anne Boisson
Meursault
The nose combines lemon, lime, peach and apricot, with a floral and mineral touch. The palate is full and creamy, driven by lively acidity and vibrant fruit. The finish is clean and long, with citrus and minerality
Domaine Bertheau
Chambolle 1er Cru
More complex yet more reserved on the nose with the hallmark sexy, spicy and pure black fruit aromas that are followed by deeply pitched
Domaine de l'Arlot
Romanée St Vivant
The colour is a bright ruby. The nose, which needs a little air, combines redcurrant, blueberry, crunchy red fruit, toasty notes and mineral touches. The palate is complex and lively, medium-bodied
Domaine Bertheau
Les Amoureuses
The beautifully layered nose offers another small step up in elegance and a large step up in aromatic complexity and spiciness to the essence of red pinot fruit and intense floral influence
