Vinous - Neal Martin (93+)
The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanchot-Dessus 1er Cru has a detailed, nuanced bouquet with yellow fruit, beeswax and light crushed stone scents that are very precise. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh, with just a slight reduction towards the finish that suggests there's more to come. Patience! Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.HK$8,250.00 -

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet La Romanée 1er Cru is more reserved on the nose, but well defined with crushed stone and touches of pressed flowers and chai. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, much more linear, almost Puligny-like in style thanks to the calcaire terroir on the finish. Vivid and animated.HK$6,045.00 -

A lively lime inflected yellow. The nose is backward though speaks just a little of the limestone hillside. The intensity is there but I know more exciting examples. Quite good length of flavour. Not quite singing but may just need more elevage. Drink from 2028-2036. Tasted: November 2023.HK$8,590.00 -

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Le Cailleret 1er Cru shows a little more reduction on the nose than the Morgeots, although there is good concentration here. The palate is quite vibrant on the entry with lemon zest, quince and a touch of orange pith. Plenty of energy, well focused with a saline finish, this is a fine Chassagne from Girardin.HK$5,645.00 -

Full primrose. There is an initial richness which cannot quite hide the stones beneath, nor should it. Terrific energy at the back of the palate, more so than Romanée, with fine length and the saline touch last seen in the Perrières. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: November 2023.HK$7,290.00 -

The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeots 1er Cru offers ripe pineapple, lemon and orange zest scents on the nose, a little more primal than its peers though well defined, and it opens willingly in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. There is just a thin veil of oak to be assimilated, but I appreciate the ripe almond and walnut-tinged finish that lingers in the mouth. What a delicious Les Morgeots! Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.HK$10,870.00 -

The 2022 Corton-Perrières Grand Cru contains 70% whole bunches this year. It has a perfumed, very floral bouquet with violets and iris flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fresh and slightly chalky in texture. This feels focused and quite persistent on the finish. It is very promising and certainly a step up from the 2021.HK$5,765.00 -

The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has an attractive bouquet with lemon zest, light peppermint and orange pith notes that burst from the glass. The palate is well balanced with a waxy texture, modest weight with lemon curd, lemon thyme and Clementine towards the finish. Like Girardin’s other 2018s, what it just misses is tension and delineation, but it should give a decade’s drinking pleasure. - Neal MartinHK$1,710.00 -

The 2020 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has an attractive nose with white peach, crushed stone and orange blossom scents, just a hint of white chocolate in the background. The palate is well balanced with a tangy opening, fine acidity although the finish does not quite deliver the same complexity as some of Girardin’s top performing Premier Crus.HK$10,895.00 -

The 2021 Montrachet Grand Cru has a curious nose with yellow fruit, lemon verbena, quince and wax resin. It is shaded by the Bâtard-Montrachet to be frank. The palate is quite weighty and very phenolic; with slightly lower acidity than the Bâtard, I found myself desiring more freshness and nerve on the finish. I feel a bit short-changed given the vineyard.HK$27,050.00 -

Two barrels made. A glowing pale lemon and lime colour. Though the barrels are not new they still lend a touch of coconut to this sublimely opulent Montrachet. The riches are properly balanced on the palate though, with waves of perfectly ripe fruit sweeping through the mouth. Some tropical notes, and lower in acidity to taste, thanks to the power of the fruit. Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted: November 2023.HK$56,675.00 -

Mid yellow. Fresh but ripe, even quite exotic with a lemon zest running through the middle. Very good, but meets the sunshine a little bit too evidently. The Montrachet may not quite match the weight and class of the Bâtard-Montrachet on today’s showing. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted Oct 2024.HK$56,675.00 -

The 2019 Meursault Les Charmes-Dessus 1er Cru comes from two parcels located down from Les Perrières. The vines are 65 years old, one parcel on SO4 rootstock that is particularly low-yielding. This has a pretty bouquet, understated at first and then unfolding to reveal crushed stone and yellow flower aromas. The palate is well balanced with a smooth, slightly honeyed opening, richer than the preceding Village Crus but nicely focused. Lemon curd and a touch of stem ginger toward the finish. A delicious Meursault to drink over the next 12–15 years.HK$5,915.00 -

The 2020 Meursault Les Charmes-Dessus 1er Cru has a little more intensity on the nose compares to the Les Narvaux. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tension, quite poised and tensil with a twist of bitter lemon and orange rind furnishing the finish. This should drink well over the next decade.HK$4,800.00 -

From three sources, all in the upper part. Glowing mid yellow. Lovely weight of fruit here, the oak lending a light coconut touch. There is a proper concentration behind, ripe enough as well, almost a petrol noted, and very persistent. Drink from 2026-2031.HK$5,495.00 -

Bright pale primrose, with a reductive nose. There’s a very significant weight to the fruit though, with good acidity behind, a little yellow fruit then a cushion of broad-based orchard fruit behind. A punchy, energetic finish. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted: November 2023.HK$12,020.00 -

Domaine. A fine bright lemon yellow. The nose is compelling, showing the flesh of Charmes but in refined format. There is a massive volume of fruit behind, yet nothing unduly heavy, marches right across the palate. Drink from 2029-2034. Tasted Oct 2024.HK$6,400.00 -

The 2019 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru comes from a 0.42-hectare parcel of 55-year-old vines. This is a step up in quality, delivering impressive, mineral-rich citrus fruit that conveys real vibrancy. The palate is well balanced with touches of praline and nectarine and a lovely build in the mouth while maintaining fine tension, leading to a spicy and quite persistent finish. This is a quality Genevrières that should age well over the next two decades.HK$7,935.00 -

Six barrels in all, from various sources. Clear bright mid yellow. A little bit more savoury, some pepper here, leaner and finer in profile than the Charmes but not quite as complete overall. Decent persistence. Drink from 2026-2030.HK$8,065.00 -

The 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières has turned out brilliantly, offering up notes of orange zest, wet stones, white flowers, toasted hazelnuts and nutmeg. Medium- to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, with lovely mid-palate plenitude, it marries ethereal purity with mineral depth to compelling effect, concluding with a sapid, chalky finish.HK$8,365.00 -

The 2022 Meursault Les Narvaux has turned out beautifully, underlining what a strong vintage this is for the white wines of the Côte de Beaune. Unwinding in the glass with notes of pear, hazelnuts, sweet citrus oil and white flowers, it's medium- to full-bodied, satiny and vibrant, with excellent texture and cut, concluding with a long, saline finish.HK$8,665.00 -

The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes is showing very well despite its youth, bursting with aromas of pear, toasted nuts, white flowers and hints of iodine. Medium- to full-bodied, layered and textural, with a creamy attack that segues into a bright, saline finish, it retains excellent balance in this riper, more powerfully styled vintage.HK$7,875.00
The most prevalent and recognised or 'international grape' varieties in the world are mostly of French origin. The enduring popularity and respect of French wine has meant that Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvingon, Merlot and many others have been exported and experimented with around the world.
