Winemaker Notes The nose is fragrant with beautiful floral notes (acacia and honeysuckle) against a slightly mineral background. The palate is lively, fruity and floral with a refreshing finish. Winery Description Since 1350, the Bichot family has called Burgundy home. But, it was in 1831 that Bernard Bichot founded a merchant house bearing his name…
93pts Decanter The deep clay soils inside this four-walled clos mean that this 3.36ha terroir never suffers in hot years like 2017, retaining sufficient moisture for the vines. This stylish, aromatic, violet-scented Pinot is wonderfully fresh and charming, with subtle whole-bunch characters and deftly applied 20% new wood. 93pts James Suckling Unique aromas of tile,…
Winemaker Notes Bouquet with fragrant notes of berries. Supple, slender, it expresses itself with elegance.Pairs well with grilled or roasted red meats. Winery Notes Established in 1731, Bouchard Père & Fils is one of the oldest and most diverse Estate in Burgundy with approximately 130 ha (320 acres) of vineyards, the majority of which are…
Winemaker Notes Its spicy plumminess and generous mouth-feel give way to a soft, pencil lead minerality and bright acidity. It tastes like autumn in liquid form.
Winemaker Notes Alain Chavy’s Bourgogne Blanc comes from young vines grown in Puligny where the wines typically show green and yellow fruit, firm acidity and distinctive minerality. This Bourgogne Blanc, while light in body, is taut and fresh in character. Winery Notes Alain Chavy produces restrained, structured, and long-lived white Burgundies from 17 acres of…
95pts Burghound Here a more reticent and cooler nose is both gamier and spicier. The super-sleek medium-bodied flavors possess a gorgeous mouthfeel together with solid power on the more refined and ever-so-slightly longer and notably firmer finish. This is impeccably well-balanced but in contrast to the Bressandes, extended patience will absolutely be necessary, indeed I…
94pts Burghound Somewhat surprisingly, this is also quite perfumed with its airy and cool aromas of mostly red berries that are trimmed in discreet earth and wood nuances. There is a lovely sleekness to the delicious, vibrant and more muscular flavors that possess a gorgeous texture, all wrapped in an impressively long, firm and well-balanced…
91pts Burghound A fresh, spicy and airy nose offers up notes of red and dark raspberry, kirsch and a hint of plum. The vibrant flavors flash plenty of minerality though the finish is mildly drying and a bit short. It s hard to predict how this will react once it is in bottle but it…
94pts Burghound Here too moderate reduction renders the nose difficult to assess. The relatively delicate and refined middle weight flavors possess no lack of punch that carries over to the youthfully austere, complex and sneaky long finish that is quite tightly wound so patience advised. 93pts Jasper Morris 50% whole bunch, as Etienne and Brian think that…
94pts Robert Parker s Wine Advocate Matured in a mix of 500-liter oak and 228-liter steel barrels, the 2022 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos is deep and layered, exhibiting aromas of pear, white flowers, blanched almonds and honeycomb. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with attractive purity of fruit and bright balancing acids, it underlines…
92pts Vinous It has a discrete bouquet, reluctantly offering yellow fruit and oily aromas. A faint touch of menthol might become accentuated with bottle age. The palate is crisp, fresh, and well-balanced. A pleasant bitter lemon note counterbalances what feels like a slightly richer style of Pouilly-Fuisse. Perhaps it doesn’t fully possess the same complexity…
92pts Vinous It has a perfumed bouquet with pressed yellow flowers, white peach, gooseberry and light sea spray scents that unfold in the glass. The palate is taut and fresh. There’s impressive depth, considering the vintage, with attractive orange pith and mango notes. Orange rind and a touch of spice appear on the finish. Vineyard…
90pts Vinous The nose is well defined with yellow plum and light waxy aromas, a little Conference pear emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with green apple,l pear and nuanced stony notes. Light on its feet and tensile, there is fine nervosite toward the finish. The 2021 is a cool, calm, collected Pouilly-Fuisse…
Winemaker Notes The Wine conveys a seamless combination of fruit and herbal flavors that dance on the palate. Refined tannins contribute to its silky seductive texture. Its freshness and vivacity, which could have been difficult to achieve in such a warm year, is remarkable. This is my ideal of Burgundy — flavor without weight.
