Burgundy | 8 | 95+ (VN) | HK$8,560.00 | |||||
Vinous (95+)Knockout pure-but-reticent nose melds deep yellow fruits, oak char, baking spices and minerals (this always needs a lot more time than the Chevalier-Montrachet here, notes Frédéric Weber). Wonderfully silky and rich but light on its feet; a serious mouthful of lemon zest, crushed stone and spices with outstanding focus and supporting salty minerality. Really shines today for its inner-mouth tension and explosive palate-dusting finish. Bouchard's Montrachet production was off by more than 50% in 2016 (to around 23 hectoliters per hectare), but the Cabotte was less affected by frost, producing three barrels, vs. four in 2017. This wonderfully plush, fine-grained, concentrated wine is built for a long and eventful evolution in bottle. |

Wine Advocate (95)The 2017 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte Grand Cru is also showing very well from bottle, opening in the glass with a lovely bouquet of crisp green orchard fruit, citrus oil, white flowers, blanched almonds and wheat toast. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a deep and layered core, racy acids and a long, penetrating finish. While this can't quite match the mid-palate volume of the Montrachet, it certainly nods to Montrachet in style. Readers able to track down a few bottles should plan on exercising at least a decade's patience. |

Burgundy | 5 | 18.5 (JR) | HK$9,537.00 | |||||
Jancis Robinson (18.5)Deep, spicy and flinty, with a richness of stone fruit and plenty of palate weight. Powerful finish reverberates. Definitively grand cru. |

Burgundy | 1 | 94-96 (VN) | HK$11,955.00 | |||||
Vinous (94-96)The 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte Grand Cru is more backward and tight on the nose than the regular Chevalier, though with aeration subtle Golden Delicious apple, white Chinese tea and citrus aromas emerge. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline entry. This has a little more nervosité than the regular cuvée and displays excellent delineation on the flinty finish. Great potential. |

Burgundy | 1 | 95-97 (VN) | HK$12,745.00 | |||||
Vinous (95-97)The 2020 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte Grand Cru, which was undergoing its élevage in foudres, has a very sophisticated bouquet with mineral-rich citrus fruit, hints of hazelnut and lanolin. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity. There is a little more density and concentration compared to the regular Chevalier-Montrachet and though there is a patina of oak to be subsumed, this will surely age with style. Excellent. (Readers should note that no 2021 will be produced due to frost and there will just be a tiny amount of Chevalier-Montrachet.) |

Decanter (95)Bouchard have some of the biggest holdings of Corton-Charlemagne, at 3.9ha, all of them east-facing and high on the slope. This is perfumed and intense, with citrus rind and tangerine notes, chalky freshness and old-vine concentration. The oak is assertive but well integrated. |

Burgundy | 1 | 17.5 (JR) | HK$8,095.00 | |||||
Jancis Robinson (17.5)Naughty heavy bottle. Lovely intensity of chalk, stone fruit and almond, with a chalky, chewy palate-weight, and very good, creamy, nutty length. |

Burgundy | 2 | 96 (JS) | HK$10,100.00 | |||||
James Suckling (96)This has quite pronounced vanilla oak, but has only just been bottled. As it aerates, notes of ripe pear, citrus and pineapple develop. Rich and creamy, this makes a bold statement, but also has lovely freshness that complements the generous body. Keeps pumping out the flavors for a long time at the finish. |

Scoring a massive 95-98 points from locally-based critic Jasper Morris MW from Inside Burgundy, he also gives it a rare and coveted 5 star status.
More Info
A Grand Cru receiving 5 star status is a truly special occasion and there is no doubt that this is a “majestic Corton-Charlemagne in the making”. A truly stunning Chardonnay, it is the highest scoring wine from Corton in 2020, even topping greats like Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey and Henri Boillot. The well-defined, tightly-packed bouquet has “considerable concentration” but will need many years before it shows its full glory. There is a “really impressive wealth of fruit here” and although it is dominating the main characteristics of the terroir currently, this will settle and there is “so much still to come” shown by the “really very long” finish. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (93-95)The 2023 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a complex bouquet with citrus fruit, light peppermint notes and hints of honeysuckle and brioche. The palate is well balanced with a satisfying, slightly honeyed texture counterbalanced by the keen line of acidity. This is very harmonious and very poised, with a dash of spice toward the finish. Excellent. |

Jancis Robinson (17)Rounded nose, with spice, butter tones, some stone fruit and ripe lemon. Plenty of weight and power, with just enough freshness to cut through the mid palate. Long and creamy. |

Burgundy | 2 | 92-94 (WA) | HK$5,290.00 | |||||
Wine Advocate (92-94)Offering up notes of pear, white flowers, toasted almonds and beeswax, Bouchard's 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is medium to full-bodied, satiny and chiseled, with a more tightly wound, introverted profile than the Charmes that preceded it. Built to age, this is a serious Genevrières that I look forward to tasting from bottle. |

Tim Atkin MW (94)The 2 hectares 65 - with one parcel mid-slope and one further up - of this Premier Cru are always the first that Fr d ric harvests in Meursault. This is a delightful Genevri res, resplendent in floral aromas. The palate shows chamomile, vanilla extract, wild flower honey, pluots and green gauges. The mid-palate has a welcoming sappiness elevated by prancing acidity. 2022-30 |

White Burgundy offers a lot to wine lovers. Its numerous appellations and winemakers really exhibit the breadth and quality of styles that Chardonnay can achieve; from Puligny-Montrachet with its gentle floral beauty and style to Meursault's rich, buttery and savory character. You can return to Burgundy vintage after vintage and still learn and explore.
