93-96 A restrained and markedly spicy nose blends notes of ripe white and yellow peach with those of acacia blossom, rose petal and jasmine tea-like nuances. Once again there is a really lovely texture to the highly energetic broad-shouldered flavors that possess very good if not great density, but the mouthfeel is quite sleek and extends to the austere, balanced and precise finale. This is also exceptionally classy and beautifully well-balanced and should amply repay extended cellaring.

Two casks purchased as must from a large holding on the Puligny side of Montrachet. Here the grapes were picked very late, at almost 15% potential alcohol, and this is really extra-rich, with super-ripe apple fruit, spice and a floral note that is almost honeysuckle. Despite all this richness, the terroir is such that there is still enough freshness on the palate to bring the wine back into an elegant balance.

91-93 The 2019 Montrachet Grand Cru comprises two barrels of purchased must this year. "There was incredible ripeness here, up to 15° final alcohol," Eric Suremain forewarned me. I have to say that this comes across on the powerful nose, which does not quite articulate the nuance of this legendary vineyard as a cooler vintage might. The palate is balanced with a fine bead of acidity that maintains freshness. A heady and opulent Montrachet - for want of a better word, quite "fun" to drink - but is it a vrai Montrachet? This is not the only address in the Côte d'Or where I preferred the Bâtard-Montrachet.
Winery
A ripe nose, very profound and classy. The most alcohol, too and the thickest texture. Massive, long, pungent and persistent fruit. Very, very long on the palate, warm and intense. The flavors are bursting out and there’s amazing length on the palate and it finishes with a touch of salt. An amazing wine, and it stands apart from the others. The flavors continue on after you drink it. Killer.

Varietal: Chardonnay

Despite having its origins in western France, Chardonnay's immense popularity and flexibility quickly meant that before long, there wasn't a wine producing country in the world which wasn't investing in this fascinating and versatile grape varietal. Today, Chardonnays manage to win fine wine competitions and satisfy supermarket shoppers simultaneously, due to the fact that this grape varietal can take on many characteristics and features of where it is grown and how it is handled. Indeed, this green skinned grape is renowned for not having so much unique flavor within the fruit, but is very sensitive to the features of the terroir it is grown in, as well as to aging As such, it isn't unusual to find bottles of single variety Chardonnay wine described as holding notes of white stone, mountain waters, or other such geological features alongside the more predictable fruit descriptions This makes Chardonnay grape varietal wines an exciting world to delve into – full of surprises, full of delights.

Region: Burgundy

The beautiful region of Burgundy in France is famously home to some of the most exquisite red wines to be found anywhere on earth, and is most commonly associated with the silky, elegant and flavorful Pinot Noir varietal wines which are commonly produced there. However, the superb and mineral rich soils fed by the Rhone river, and the long hot summers and mild autumns of the region produce a wide variety of fine grapes, and as such, Burgundy produces plenty of different wines which are equally as good as the produce the region is famed for. The region of Burgundy itself has a wine-making history which stretches back at least two thousand years, and as such, it comes as no surprise that the wineries which fill the dozens of controlled appellations of the region rely heavily on traditional methods and techniques when it comes to producing their famous wines.

Country: France

France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.

Appellation: Cote De Beaune

The stunning and historic appellations of Cote De Beaune in France date back centuries, and are a vitally important center for the fine French wine industry. Located in the southern half of the Cote d'Or, Cote De Beaune is widely renowned for producing what are said to be some of the finest white wines in the world. Indeed, the Chardonnay grapes which flourish in the beautiful climatic conditions of Cote De Beaune ripen fully after the hot summers, and contain an impressive array of flavors and aromas, as well as many of the best features of the superb terroir they grow on. Pinot Noir is the region's other key grape varietal, and the red wines of Cote De Beaune are also considered to be of a very high quality indeed.
