Burgundy | 2 | 89-91 (VN) | HK$4,910.00 | |||||
Vinous (89-91)(Boillot has eight village parcels covering 2.5 hectares, which makes this his largest single cuvée): Bright, dark red. Very pure aromas of blackberry, black cherry, licorice and violet. Youthfully tight and primary in the mouth, with intense flavors of dark berries, licorice and spices firmed and carried by brisk acidity and a solid tannic spine. Finishes with a suggestion of hard candy. |

Vinous (96-99)Healthy dark red. Knockout pungent aromas and flavors of pomegranate, red raspberry, blood orange and high-pitched spices, with the 33% whole-cluster treatment contributing an element of peppery lift. Boasts a nobly fine-grained texture but it's hard to describe this wine as silky owing to its almost painful penetration on the palate. Great éclat and precision here. Finishes with incredible tactile breadth and cut, the wine's rising, palate-saturating flavors of red berries, spices, flowers and minerals blowing past its firm but utterly refined tannins. This dazzling Musigny already displays incredibly heady, complex perfume but will need a decade or more to approach its apogee in bottle. |

Burgundy | 1 | 91+ (VN) | HK$7,010.00 | |||||
Vinous (91+)Good medium red. More complex and vibrant on the nose than the village wines I tasted from the Côte de Nuits, offering musky scents of black raspberry, licorice, menthol and violet. Then surprisingly fine-grained and sweet in the middle palate if still a bit youthfully compressed, communicating an impression of medicinal reserve to its rich dark fruit, spice and violet flavors. Way longer than the village wines, with more refined tannins and subtle floral lift. This lively midweight is showing the dark fruit side of the vintage. I may be underrating it today. |

Decanter (96)Open and pleasant nose showing pretty floral and ripe red berry fruit along with spicy oak. The palate is elegant and juicy with red apple, beetroot and dried cranberry flavours, crunchy, ripe tannins and a chalky undertone. Very fine, tasty and well handled. |

Wine Advocate (96)Jadot's 2015 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is stunningly good in the 2015 vintage, bursting from the glass with a primary bouquet of candied red cherry, plum, rose petal, coniferous forest floor and a hint of the black truffle to come, judiciously framed by new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and deep, with wonderful concentration and depth, its generous core of ripe fruit underpinned by bright, racy acids. This still need time to come together—15 years, ideally—but its potential is immense. |

Wine Advocate (93-95)The 2015 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has an open red cherry, crushed strawberry and sea spray-scented bouquet that perhaps does not quite have the complexity, nor the intrigue of the Mazis-Chambertin at this stage. The palate is refined with grippy tannin and a commendable sense of energy and tension. The salinity comes through on the finish and lends this grand cru fine sappiness, urging you back for another sip. For those with patience... |

Burgundy | 1 | 94+ (WA) | HK$9,360.00 | |||||
Wine Advocate (94+)Tasted blind, Jadot's 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques confirmed the seriousness it displayed earlier this year, unwinding with aeration to reveal a youthfully reserved bouquet of sweet red fruits, raw cocoa, rich soil and dried rose petal, framed by a judicious application of cedary new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, reserved and concentrated, with fine-grained but firm structuring tannins, tangy acids and impressive length. This Clos Saint-Jacques is shutting down, so it's all about future potential, but its showing in this tasting suggested that when all is said and done, it may well be the Clos Saint-Jacques of the vintage. |

Burgundy | 1 | 90-92 (VN) | HK$760.00 | |||||
Vinous (90-92)Medium red. Less fruity and more medicinal on the nose than the Vaucrains, offering complex scents of dark raspberry, dried flowers, mocha and earth. Then plush, silky and fine-grained on the palate, offering lovely floral lift to its raspberry fruit. The firm tannins turn a touch dry with air. (This cuvée is not vinified by Jadot.) |

Gloss over your palate with the exquisite Louis Moreau Chablis Grand Cru Vaudesir 2015, an epitome of stature from one of Burgundy's renowned vintners. As part of the prestigious Moreau family, Louis Moreau encapsulates two centuries of skilful winemaking in the heart of Chablis, the revered northernmost wine district of Burgundy, France. The 2015 vintage is a harmonious blend of complex flavours and delicate notes. Produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, hand-harvested from the precious 0.5-hectare plot, these painstakingly nurtured grapes yield intensely concentrated juice that is gently pressed, then fermented and aged in stainless steel vats to maintain the characteristic minerality and freshness. Boasting an elegant golden hue, this Chablis teases the nose with invigorating citrus and exotic fruit aromas, followed by a lush palate of zesty grapefruit, nuanced with a distinctive mineral edge. Bask in the lingering finish of the Louis Moreau Chablis Grand Cru Vaudesir 2015 – a testament to the rich viticultural legacy of the Moreau lineage. |

Burgundy | 1 | 92-94 (VN) | HK$15,830.00 | |||||
Vinous (92-94)(from vines in both Charmes and Mazoyères): Dark red-ruby. Inviting aromas of raspberry, minerals, smoked meat and dried rose, along with a cool licorice note. Juicy, intense wine with excellent definition and lovely inner-mouth floral lift. Still a bit youthfully medicinal but already conveys an attractive texture and a harmony of elements. Finishes juicy, spicy and quite long, with suave, fine-grained tannins and a repeating suggestion of medicinal reserve. Saouma was not the only producer I visited this fall who noted that Charmes-Chambertin has benefited substantially from global warming. Not too long ago, Charmes typically had a greenness as well as underripe tannins, he said. (I will withhold early judgment on a 350-liter barrel of Griottes-Chambertin, which was fusel and extremely reduced, and still had some unconverted malic acidity.) |

We found the wines in 2015 very easy and forward to taste, with as much focus on freshness as concentration, so there wasn’t a complete break from the 2014s in that sense. The hope is that as the wines mature they will continue to show the balance and classicism they displayed from the barrel. Our expectation is that they will do so and the best wines will live for a very long time with a genuinely satisfying pattern of maturation throughout their life.
