Chablis Grand Cru Vaudesir  ex-Domaine |

WA 93 (9/2023): Wafting from the glass with aromas of honeycomb, vine blossom, orange zest and nutmeg, the 2022 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir is medium to full-bodied, satiny and suave, with a fleshy core of fruit, lively acids and a saline, spice-inflected finish. This, too, is a fine success.
BH 91 (10/2024): A restrained nose flashes only a touch of exotic character on the spicy aromas of mostly yellow orchard fruit, apple, iodine and a floral top note. The generous but appealingly punchy middle weight flavors exude evident minerality on the saliva-inducing, balanced and lingering finale. A few years of keeping should help add complexity. |

| BH 94 (4/2004): Astounding purity of expression here with hints of gunflint, oyster shell, minerals and that gorgeous green fruit that is uniquely Chablis in style, followed by silky, ultra fine, linear and almost delicate yet with considerable power, precision and length. More importantly, there is another dimension here relative to the 1ers and this delivers simply stunning quality with a classic bone dry finish. This is an extremely impressive wine that has everything it needs for a very long life. Drink 2009+. |

BH 95 (12/2004): Everything that was present in barrel made it into bottle. Aromatically discreet, backward and reserved yet there is an evident minerality that defines and characterizes this wine from start to finish and though this is ripe, the nose displays classic Chablis aromas of jaw dropping purity. The flavors are extremely powerful, precise, focused and tight with incredible depth and the extract both stains and coats the palate before the finish explodes in the mouth and simply goes on and on. This is knockout quality juice and I noticed that my notes contain the word "wow!" several times when I tasted this in Raveneau's cellar. A great, great effort and one of the top 5 wines of the vintage blessed with incredible cellar potential. Don't miss it! Drink 2010+.
VM 95 (5/2019): The 2002 Chablis Les Clos has a gorgeous, come-hither bouquet with scents of peaches and cream, hints of orange blossom and vanilla, all beautifully defined. This is one of the most seductive aromatics from Raveneau that I have encountered. The palate continues that peach theme, touches of Mirabelle, fish oil, struck flint and a little honey intimating some botrytis towards the finish that strangely made me think of a mature Chenin Blanc! Still, what a scintillating Chablis. Tasted blind at a private dinner at Chez Bruce. Neal Martin. |

Chablis Grand Cru Valmur |
$1,300 |

WA 96-98 (2/2004): Raveneau’s 2002 Chablis Valmur is magnificent. Loads of earth tones, apples, flint, and white peaches are found in its boisterous aromatics. My notes read “an essence of perfectly ripened Chablis grape skins". Seashells, minerals, flint, copious spices, pears, and apples are intertwined in its complex core of fruit. This full-bodied wine wows the taster with its concentration, depth, awesomely supple texture, as well as by its huge length. Projected maturity: 2008-2020.
BH 95 (5/2010): As it was the first time I ever tasted it, the nose of the '02 Valmur offers dazzling aromatic purity together with steely, intense, focused and detailed green fruit that is cool, reserved and at this point in its development, now almost completely mature. The medium-bodied flavors are equally pure and seem to be extracted directly from liquid rock as the minerality this displays is remarkable, which confers a highly attractive tactile sensation, all wrapped in a finish with superb buffering extract and staggering length. As I originally observed, with the exception of the 2008 version, this is as good a young Raveneau Valmur as I have ever had and while it has reached its majority, it should be capable of holding at this level for years to come. In a word, sensational. Multiple notes. Drink: Now+
VM 94+ (8/2004): Classic, steely aromas of wet stone, gunflint and humid earth; a very pure expression of this grand cru site. Big and broad on the palate, with mouthstaining concentration, but much more backward than the Blanchots, and not yet showing that wine's sweetness or opulence of texture. Today, the strong acids have the upper hand. But finishes with explosive length and superb elegance. A great wine in the making. Makes a strong argument for Valmur as the next-best Chablis grand cru following Les Clos. |

Batard Montrachet Grand Cru Signs of Old Seepage |

VM 94 (3/2007): The stunning whites continued with the gorgeous 1999 Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet. It presented a complex array of smoke, earthiness and toasted oak that complemented the intensity of its fruit, with superb length and a finish that seemed to last forever. Antonio Galloni.
BH 93 (10/2021): (from 3 different parcels, two on the Chassagne side and the third in the Puligny sector, almost on the border between the two communes; with thanks to Dr. Michael Chen). Leflaive did very well in 1999 and the Bâtard is consistent with that success with its expressive and now fully mature nose that features aromas of white flowers and traces of lime, white peach and spice wisps. The very rich and impressively layered flavors possess very good density along uncommon elegance and superb length on the balanced finish. To my taste this is fully mature and while it should continue to hold without difficulty, there is no further upside development to be had. Tasted multiple times with mostly consistent notes. Drink now+. |

|
| |
| BH 97 (6/2021): (from 3 parcels on the Chassagne side that total .68 ha.) Discreet wood is present on the exuberantly spicy and markedly exotic nose of passion fruit, dried peach, apricot, fennel, jasmine tea and hints of clove. The incredibly rich broad-shouldered flavors coat the palate with an abundance of dry extract that imparts a thick and textured, indeed almost chewy, character to the lavish and generous finish that is at once fantastically powerful yet impeccably well-balanced, compact and youthfully austere finale that just goes on and on. In the context of the last 5 vintages, this is not the most concentrated of them for the Domaine's Montrachet, but the length is genuinely dazzling as is the upside develop potential. Drink 2033+. |

Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru Heavily Bin-Soiled Label |
$6,500 |
1 |
|
| |
WA 94-95 (12/2001): The toasted oak-scented 2000 Corton-Charlemagne has the austerity found in many of this vineyard's wines in the 2000 vintage. However, it is vinous, rich, and broad. Pure flavors of minerals, toast, and spices can be found in its highly delineated, profound offering. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2015.
VM 94+ (10/2002): Oak-influenced aromas of grilled nuts, vanilla and nutmeg. Dense and voluptuous; as ripe as the Perrieres but less expressive today despite its extraordinary texture. Solid and chewy wine with an almost tannic finish. More explosive today on the aftertaste than it is in the middle palate. This may well prove to be a more complete wine than the 2001 example.
BH 94 (5/2010): (with thanks to Dr. Michael Chen). Cool, reserved and incredibly pure green apple and white pear notes blend seamlessly with an intense yet understated minerality that leads to positively crystalline and concentrated, dense flavors that deliver the hallmark delineation, power and breathtaking persistence of classically styled Corton-Charlemagne. But this rises to the next level by virtue of unmistakable breed plus a certain vibrancy and presence that is rare even among great wines. Extremely impressive and destined for a long life and while it is easily approachable now, I would personally give in another 2 years in the cellar first. Consistent notes. Try from 2012+. |

Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru |
$5,975 |

|
| |
| VM 96 (12/2020): Two vintages of Coche Dury’s Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru follow. Neither 2011 nor 2003 is especially highly regarded, but it is precisely vintages like these that can be so instructive because they tell us so much about what talented growers can achieve in challenging years. The 2011 Charlemagne needs several hours of air to open, which is not surprising, as it has always been a stubborn wine. I remember that Jean-François Coche hesitated to show the Charlemagne when I stopped by to taste the bottled 2011s, as he felt the long malos had resulted in a wine that needs more time in bottle to fully come together. Now, at nearly age ten, the 2011 remains quite vibrant and nervy, with striking citrus, floral and mineral notes laced into a racy frame. All it needs is a bit more flesh, but it’s the sort of flesh that develops with more time in bottle. Antonio Galloni. |

Le Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche Grand Cru (1.5 L) Nicked Label |
$1,399 |
1 |
|
| |
WA 93-95 (4/1997): To no one's surprise, the Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche is Drouhin's finest 1995. Made entirely in 1st year oak (oak barrels that have been used once, not new oak), rich honeysuckle aromas burst from the glass with a touch of honeyed spice. The wine is extremely viscous and fat (my notes say: "wouldn't legally be considered a liquid") and has very ripe flavors of rich, toasted and roasted, lively fruits. This full-bodied, beautifully delineated wine exemplifies Montrachet, as it combines Batard's forward, sultry fruit and Chevalier's elegance and precision. Drink it between 2005-2012.
WS 93 (4/1997): Subtle and classy, this wine is supple with near-perfect balance and spice, ripe fruit, toasted bread and mineral flavors that linger for minutes on the great, racy finish. Full-bodied; try around 2005. |

BH 96 (6/2024): (one contiguous parcel measuring about .24 ha is spread evenly between Chassagne and Puligny; Boillot calls it his Bâtard du Milieu.)
VM 95-97 (1/2024): The 2022 Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru emerges from holdings that straddle the Chassagne and Puligny sides. Super-elegant and refined, Boillot's Batard has a ton to offer, even if it is rather reticent at this stage. White flowers, mint, spice and light pastry overtones add layers of nuance. The 2022 is unctuous, but not at all heavy. This really opens beautifully onto its explosive finish. Neal Martin. |
