Vinous (88-90)
(just one 350-liter barrel made, vs. a normal six): Pale bright yellow. Pungent scents of fresh herbs, white pepper, chlorophyll, anise and fennel. Nicely dense and intense but tightly wound, with its citrus and nectarine flavors conveying an impression of strong dry extract. Firmly structured and a bit youthfully aggressive. The savory, slightly bitter, palate-dusting finish is slightly hard-edged today, partly owing to the carbonic gas. Will this wine soften during its remaining months of élevage?HK$5,430.00 -

Wine Advocate (90-92)
A terrific effort, the 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ancegnières unwinds in the glass with aromas of pear, freshly baked bread, orange oil and toasted nuts. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's vibrant and concentrated, with lively acids and a long, elegantly chalky finish.HK$13,475.00 -
(1x75cl) 2015Vinous (96)
Pale, bright yellow. Pure, backward nose is more precise and higher pitched than the Bâtard, offering scents of tangerine zest, crushed rock and silex minerality. Boasts an uncommon combination of thickness with verve. Not heavy but incredibly opulent in the mouth, with its citrus and fresh herb flavors supported by bracing minerality. A wonderfully intense, seamless wine of terroir, and a step above the other 2015s I tasted at this address. Really superb palate-staining length.HK$12,125.00 -
(1x75cl) 2016Vinous (93+)
Compellingly pure aromas and flavors of white nectarine, peach, lime pith, fresh herbs and pine resin. Powerful, classic Corton-Charlemagne with outstanding density, but extremely bound-up in the early going. This chewy, savory wine shows no easy sweetness but it's not dry either. The slowly mounting, vibrant finish displays deep saline minerality. This should age beautifully and may well ultimately merit an even higher rating.HK$5,540.00 -

The pretty nose does not prepare you for the underlying muscle in this white wine. Plus, it's not rock-hard power; this is incredibly succulent for a Corton Charlie. Hazelnut and shortbread compliment the white nectarine and Rainier cherries. Les Languettes of Ladoix, where the vines are about 50 years old, provides 80% of the fruit and the rest, about 30 years old, comes from the Pernand side of the hill. 2024-40HK$6,915.00 -

(1x75cl) 2016Vinous (90-93)
(Colin has just a single one-year-old 500-liter barrel of this juice): Ripe but very reticent nose hints at green apple. Tactile, peppery, dry and classic, conveying a dusty impression of extract. Tight, primary flavors of peach and white peach show a savory, sappy quality. Here's a young 2016 that might be compared to a 2010. This still needs further élevage to stretch out, and lose some of its CO2.HK$3,760.00 -

Vinous (91-93)
Pale, bright yellow. Sexy spices lift orange and tangy mineral notes on the ripe, slightly exotic nose. Ripe, dense and tangy, showing a lovely balance of sweetness and acidity to its lemon and orange flavors. The long, perfumed finish features very good grip and lift, as well as the obvious influence of sweet oak. The yield here was in the restrained 40 hectoliters-per-hectare range.HK$5,705.00 -
(3x150cl) 2016Vinous (90-92)
(no frost here): Pale yellow. Reticent aromas of nectarine and anise. Juicy and sharply delineated thanks to fresh acidity; boasts lovely density and purity of peach fruit. Not hugely complex yet but finishes with noteworthy length. The fuller crop here yielded fruit with 12.3% potential alcohol, while the Meursault premier crus were about 12.5%, with the Poruzots reaching 12.7%.HK$21,185.00 -
(1x75cl) 2017Vinous (89-92)
Pale, bright yellow-green. More about fruit than the foregoing samples from Chassagne-Montrachet, offering aromas of lime zest, tangerine and orchard fruits, with a mineral element giving lift. Penetrating, linear and backward but not spiky on the palate, showing modest thickness but lovely inner-mouth lift to its dense, dusty citrus zest flavors. Doesn't show the texture of the examples from Chassagne but finishes with lovely rising white-peppery length.HK$2,995.00 -

(6x75cl) 2011Vinous (94)
Colin-Morey's 2011 Meursault Perrieres is round, seamless and strikingly beautiful. At the same time, there is plenty of power in the glass, yet the style remains one built more on volume than minerality, which is not entirely surprising, considering this plot is on the lower slopes of the hill. There is a lot to like here. The intensely perfumed finish in particular of note.HK$35,775.00 -
(1x75cl) 2012Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (93-95)
(12.5% alcohol): Pale yellow. Ripe aromas of candied lemon peel, spices and minerals. Sweet, tactile and deep; conveys a remarkably ripe impression for a wine at its modest alcohol level. Wonderfully chewy, extract-rich Meursault with penetrating, palate-staining flavors of stone and citrus fruits, menthol and stone and an impression of full ripeness. Colin's Perrieres is routinely an outstanding cuvee.HK$5,965.00 -
Vinous (95)
(4.7 grams per liter acidity): Bright, pale yellow. Pineapple and pungent minerals on the nose. Large-scaled, powerful and penetrating, boasting outstanding concentration and finesse to its lemon and dusty stone flavors. Finishes extremely long and bracing, with quintessential Perrières density and wet-stone minerality. This is Meursault Perrières at grand cru level--hardly the first time for this superb producer. Both this wine and the Charmes are high in acidity but have so much texture and depth that it's barely apparent.HK$17,285.00 -
Vinous (94)
Very pale color. Very expressive aromas of pineapple, menthol, crushed stone and white flowers; more open than the Meursault Les Genevrières. Opulent, thick, tactile wine with unexpected sucrosité as well as near-painful intensity to its citrus fruit, peach and floral flavors. Sharply delineated but with plenty of baby fat to buffer its underlying minerality. Colin told me he normally prefers his Genevrières in very warm vintages like 2015, but admits that this wine is surprisingly open today. Will it shut down in bottle?HK$16,705.00 -
(1x150cl) 2017Jancis Robinson (18)
Lower reaches of the vineyard. Racked and back to barrel in August. Will spend several months in tank before bottling in May. More immediate tension and stony/mineral character than the Charmes. Chewy texture and depth of fruit without extreme fruitiness. Tight limey citrus. Really pulled in on the palate so it is more impressive in length than breadth. Huge pent-up energy. Wait. Embryonically wonderful.HK$12,390.00 -
(1x150cl) 2018Jancis Robinson (18)
Fermented in 350-litre oak. Lower reaches of the vineyard. Barrel sample. Strong mineral overlay to the fruit here. Dusty and chalky like stone dust, gently herbal. Then an assault of fruit on the palate. Intense citrus, almost apricot. Smash and grab in its intensity. And long. Hard to move on from here.HK$10,900.00
