Vinous (90-92)The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet La Maltroye 1er Cru has an intense, quite stony bouquet with more yellow flowers here, perfumed with light resinous scents. The palate is very well balanced with a sapid orange pith and white peach-tinged entry. Fine depth, a little richer towards the finish with a persistent aftertaste, this is another appealing wine from Alex Moreau. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru reflects its terroir brilliantly on the nose, which offers aromas of wet limestone and flint, beautifully defined and gaining intensity in the glass. The palate is wonderfully balanced with green apples, freshly sliced pear and just a touch of citrus lemon. This is taut, almost Zen-like in style – just as Caillerets ought to be. Superb. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chenevottes 1er Cru has more intensity on the nose than the Les Vergers, a little richer in style with touches of dried honey and wild peach. Fine delineation. The palate is well balanced with another quite citric entry, sharp and it sports just the right amount of bitterness, though perhaps the Les Vergers is more pixelated. Still, this is very fine. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)5 Star Wine. An even lemon and lime colour. Energy on the nose, not yet so much detail. The palate delivers its usual resounding success, a mass of pure white fruit which builds in intensity to the back and finishes with the lightest of toasty notes which is complementary. Excellent length. Not only is this really good, there are 100 barrels of it! |

Vinous (90-92)The 2019 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru has a little more depth and intensity compared to the Sur Gamay: green apples and wet limestone aromas unfolding nicely. The palate is very composed and harmonious, pretty, touches of blackcurrant leaf infusing the green apple notes that dovetail into peachy/grapefruit notes towards the concise finish. Very fine. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (94)The 2023 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru comprises three barrels this year. This has a sublime bouquet with outstanding delineation: a mixture of white and yellow fruit suffused with crushed stone and light oyster shell scents. The palate is surfeit with energy and just a very slight reduction. Hints of tropical fruit (passion fruit and pineapple) emerge toward the finish. This leans slightly to the exotic side but in a positive way. This will be very seductive. |
