Jean Marc Brocard Chablis Sainte Claire Biodynamic 2023 750ml
Expert Review - Vintage 2023
Neal Martin writes | The 2023 Chablis Vieilles Vignes de Sainte Claire comes from 50-60 year old vines. Clearly a level up from the regular cuvée. This displays more mineralité and nuance on the nose with hints of white truffle. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, quite tensile with pleasing weight. Very harmonious on the finish. This is worth seeking out. - Drinking 2025 to 2035. - Vinous 90 Points

Olivier Leflaive Bourgogne Blanc LES SETILLES 2022 750ml
Expert Review - Vintage 2022
James Suckling 92 Points | Very snappy and crisp on first sip, this gains depth and complexity in toasted almonds and butter as it opens. Alive with crisp apples, lemon zest and a mineral tang that gives a very lively texture and great balance. Medium-bodied. Blended from 60 sites in the region, it was partially barrel fermented.
Winemaker Description
An equally fresh if less spicy nose freely offers up its aromas of apple, pear, white flower and a touch of orange peel. The mouthfeel of the medium weight flavors is also quite lovely while the lingering, balanced and equally dry finale is sufficiently tightly wound to repay a few years of keeping. This too is very good for its level." Burghound
The aromas of white flowers, peach, grilled almond and lemon peel dominate on a mineral-tinged background. The attack is full and warm on the palate with a lively and long lasting finish.
Julien Brocard Chablis Vigne de la Boissonneuse Organic Biodynamic 2022 750ml
Our Professional Review
Bart Hopkins of 67Wine.com | Slightly richer and fleshier than village Chablis, more reminiscent of a premier cru, with an impressive balance of honeyed apple, stone and tropical fruits with underlying mineral notes that builds into a crescendo of harmonious complexity. Well-proportioned acidity holds everything together and the finish is remarkably long and seductive. Demeter certified Biodynamic.
Expert Review
Decanter Magazine 93 Points "A very classy combination of the extra richness found in 2022, with zesty lime acidity and a distinctive, salty edge to finish. A great Chablis to drink as an accompaniment to food. Long, precise and very pure on the finish. Organic and from a different part of the Brocard operation in Préhy.
William Fevre Chablis Champs Royaux 2022 750ml

Alain established Domaine Alain Chavy in 2003 with vineyards inherited from his father and includes some of Puligny's top premier crus.
The Alain Chavy Bourgogne Chardonnay 2022 features a bouquet of green apple, citrus, and subtle floral notes, with hints of toasted almonds and minerality.

Domaine Bernard Defaix Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Lechet 2022 750ml
Winemaker Description
We cultivate 8 hectares of this Premier Cru located on the slopes of the village Milly and on the right backs of the river Serein. We are the biggest owners of this cru.
When some of the plots were planted, we found impressive fossils of Exogyra virgula that had been perfectly preserved. The remarkable stony and sunny soil is captured in this powerful and complex wine. It flourishes with age and expresses mineral aromas reminiscent of gunflint. The Côte de Lechet is indeed one of the Premiers Crus of the Chablisian vineyard with the most exceptional ageing potential.
To serve with fish or poultry, with white butter or cream sauces.
Expert Reviews
Allen Meadows of Burghound writes 91-93 Points | Moderate wood is present on the vaguely exotic nose of white and yellow peach, iodine and algae nuances. There is impressive density and intensity to the utterly delicious and beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors that also exude a subtle minerality on the tangy, succulent and bone-dry finale that is like sucking on an oyster shell. Good stuff and well-worth considering.
Andy Howard MW of Decanter writes 91 Points | Rich and concentrated as expected. Plenty of lees activity going on but there is zesty lemon acidity to keep the palate very fresh. Would expect this to be very good once in bottle. Tank sample. Drinking 2024 to 2028.
Nicolas Potel Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022 750ml
Winemaker Description
The wine is vinified in stainless steel and then aged for about 5-6 months in neutral oak barrels to give the wine some texture. It is ruby red in color – so bright and clean you can read through it! It has red and black berries, cherries, blackcurrant, licorice and spice notes on the nose. On the palate it is smooth, with a nice length of red cherries and black fruits on the finish. The tannins are silky and well balanced resulting in a harmonious and easy drinking wine.
Enjoy with poached eggs in red wine sauce – the famous “Oeufs Meurette”, cured meats, salmon entrees, ratatouille and creamy cheeses such as French Camembert.
Domaine Isabelle & Denis Pommier Chablis 2022 750ml
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022
Lettie Teague writes: This terrifically bright and tangy but also rather generously proportioned wine was sourced from several organically farmed sites. -Wall Street Journal
Neal Martin writes: Plenty of appealing, ripe, sun-kissed fruit on the palate but with the acidity to keep in balance. Quite different from 2021 in style, will have wide appeal but perhaps less for Chablis purists. Drinking 2024 to 2032. - Vinous 90
Andy Howard MW writes: Plenty of appealing, ripe, sun-kissed fruit on the palate but with the acidity to keep in balance. Quite different from 2021 in style, will have wide appeal but perhaps less for Chablis purists. - Decanter
Allen Meadows writes: This is also aromatically ripe and fresh with more citrus influence to the white orchard fruit, ocean breeze and quinine-scented nose. The plump, round and delicious medium weight flavors possess a finer mouthfeel while exhibiting slightly better depth and persistence on the nicely dry if not exactly crisp finale. This too should drink well young. - Burghound
Joseph Drouhin MACON VILLAGES 2022 750ml
Winemaker Description
The color of the wine is bright and limpid. The nose is floral and fruity. Very straightforward and direct on the palate, as if biting into a grape. Fresh and light, with a very pleasant finish. 100% Chardonnay
La Chablisienne Chablis Le Finage 2022 750ml
Winemaker Description
Pale gold in color, Le Finage Chablis is fairly discreet on the nose at first, revealing notes of sweet spices (vanilla). After opening, more fruity aromas appear (pear juice) with slight vegetal and lemon hints. The palate is fresh with well-balanced acidity. The whole is simple and rich with great energy.
Drink as an aperitif or with a platter of fine charcuterie.
Expert Review - Prior Vintage - 2020
Wine Enthusiast | Delicately fragrant with lemon verbena and pithy lemons, accompanied by hints of baby’s breath and fresh almonds. The palate reveals additional layers of broken seashell, lemongrass and white stone. An enjoyable wine with impressive length. (2020).
Andre Montessuy Bourgogne Rouge 2022 750ml
Winemaker Description
A dominant fruitiness (blackcurrant, cherry), blackberries with a small spicy note. A supple and round on the palate with melted tannins and a beautiful length with a lot of finesse.
Perfect with red meats, either grilled or roasted, cold cuts, vegetable salads, meat or poultry tarts, simmered beef and vegetables (pot-au-feu). Veal, cold tabbouleh, or hard cheeses like Gouda.
Domaine Louis Moreau Chablis 2023 750ml

Val de Mer By Patrick Piuze Chablis 2023 750ml
Winemaker Description
Excellent aromatics and freshness. Comes from vines with an average age of 30 years, whose deeply flavored fruit gives its ripe apple and lemon flavors terrific intensity. A pop of bright acidity leads to a racy, minerally finish.

Domaine Guilhem et Jean Hugues Goisot Sauvignon de Saint Bris Exogyra Virgula Organic Biodynamic 2022 750ml
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022
Allen Meadows writes; Ripe though not aggressive sauvignon blanc aromas include plenty of citrus, lemongrass and only a suggestion of the classic cat pee character. Once again the middleweight flavors possess an appealing mouthfeel that is in keeping with the clean, dry and lingering finale where a few years of keeping should help to add depth. Drinking from 2025. - Burghound 🖤 Outstanding
Neal Martin writes: The 2022 Saint-Bris Exogyra Virgula is rather entrancing on the nose: Golden Delicious, elderflower, grassy meadow and lanolin scents. The palate is well defined with a potent menthol component. A touch of aniseed makes the finish very distinctive. Very fine. With further aeration the nose reminds me of Japanese shiso leaf. Drinking 2024 to 2032. - Vinous 90
Winemaker Description
Domaine Goisot's place in the wine world is beautifully summed up by Burghound's Allen Meadows: "No one but no one delivers more quality for the price than Goisot. The quality is flat out amazing, particularly given the modest appellations with which he works".
Guilhem and and father Jean-Hugues Goisot, like all top vignerons in France, recognize that great wine comes from great viticulture, and they work tirelessly in the vines to ensure that their parcels are as well care for as possible. Their viticulture is certified biodynamic, with great pains taken to produce as natural an environment for the vines, and a particular goal of stimulating the natural defenses of the vines against disease and depredation.
Here’s the meaning behind the bottle’s name: “Exogyra” is an extinct genus of fossil marine oysters dating back to the Jurassic era, deposited deep into the earth under the vines; “Virgula” means comma, referring to the curved shape of the oyster shells. The wine also happens to go remarkably well with oysters.
Domaine de Villaine Bouzeron Aligote Biodynamic 2021 750ml
Expert Review - Vintage 2021
Charles Curtis MW writes: A classic Aligoté that expresses the essence of the grape with profuse aromas of gooseberry, fresh tarragon and flint. The wine offers bright acidity, medium body and impressive length. The yield was down by an average of 75% this year, with only three bunches per vine, not the 10-12 that are customary, but this light fruit load ensured the grapes ripened to perfection. Drinking 2022 - 2030 - Decanter 92
Alan Meadows writes: A very aligoté nose features notes of bright citrus, green apple and a whiff of quinine character. There is both excellent richness and density to the vibrant middleweight flavors that exude a subtle salinity on the clean and quite dry but not really austere finale. This is a very good example and worth a look. - Burghound
Winemaker Notes
Chateau Vitallis Pouilly Fuisse 2023 375ml HALF BOTTLE
Winemaker Description
The Vitallis Pouilly Fuisse has great concentration on the nose, reflecting the old vines. Intense aromas of dried fruits, Acacia, nuts and honey. Very long in the mouth with elegant, but ripe flavors, minerality and spiciness.
Chateau de la Maltroye Chassagne Montrachet BLANC 2022 750ml
Allan Meadows writes: Notes of rosemary oil, pear, herbal tea and a hint of petrol are trimmed in admirably discreet wood. Here too there is excellent energy to the well-detailed and even more appealingly textured medium weight flavors that also terminate in a bone-dry and more obviously austere finale. This possesses excellent development potential and is a wine that will definitely repay at least a few years of keeping. - Burghound (♥ = outstanding)
Winemaker Notes
On Puligny Montrachet side, the vineyards are more sand, slightly rocky, and it is giving finesse and elegance to the cuvée. In the middle of the village of Chassagne, bellow the first cru Clos du Chateau de la Maltroye, where you have clay and little stone. For the cuvée, it is more balance and some minerals coming from the end of the rocky fault, and south part below at he “vineyard slope “ Abbaye de Morgeot; more clay which is giving some power and roundness to the cuvée.
Domaine Isabelle & Denis Pommier Petit Chablis Hauterivien 2022 750ml
A Big Value in White Burgundy
Petit Chablis is actually a grand wine for spring drinking and a bargain, too, compared with other white Burgundies. Wall Street Journal - Lettie Teague - August 2024
Winemaker Notes
Beautiful nose with white fruits, ripped and gourmands with a richness due to the terroir, both rich and unctuous.
A fine pale lemon. Delicious bouquet in yellow fruit, with a lively finish, very even throughout, ripe but not heavy. From bottle, a little more honeysuckle to the nose, less gas on the palate but broadly similar with a fine fresh finish.
Critic Notes
Allen Meadows writes: There is good Chablis typicity to the ripe yet fresh aromas of mostly pear, apple and zest. The caressing and nicely punchy middleweight flavors deliver acceptable depth and persistence on the refreshing finish. This should drink well almost immediately upon release. - Burghound
Famille Vincent Pouilly Fuisse Marie Antoinette 2022 750ml
Winemaker Description
Pale yellow color with hints of green. You get on the nose a touch of oak, lots of finesse and minerality with white flowers, lemon and apple scents. On the mouth, the wine is fresh, round and fruity with aromas of melon, kiwi, peaches and apricot and a nice minerality. Overall, the wine is nicely balanced and fresh with a great length.
Domaine Guy et Yvan Dufouleur Hautes Cotes de Nuits Les Dames Huguettes 2018 750ml
VertdeVin 93 Points | The nose is elegant and offers a small richness, gourmandize as well as a certain / fine power. There are notes of ripe blackberry, blueberry and small notes of cassis associated with a touch of cherry tail, ripe / fresh red berries as well as hints of pepper, lilac, spices and a very discreet almost tonka bean / incense hint. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, slightly tight and offers juiciness, a small freshness, suavity, gourmandize, a beautiful pulpy / juicy fruit, generosity, roundness, a small fat as well as a fine straightness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy / fleshy cherry, pulpy / fleshy raspberry and small notes of purple plum associated with touches of cornflowers, blue berries as well as hints of cherry stone, licorice stick, zan and a subtle hint of sweet spices. Tannins are very discreetly firm. Presence of a subtle toasted hint on the finish / persistence. Good length.

Domaine de Villaine Rully Blanc 1er Cru Les Margotes Biodynamic 2016 750ml
Expert Review - Vintage 2016
Neal Martin writes: This delightful 2016 Rully Les Margotes 1er Cru will provide ample drinking pleasure over the next decade. Bright scents of Conference pear and Granny Smith apple on the nose seem to gain intensity with aeration; then, the palate is well balanced with nicely judged acidity. I admire the harmony and precision of this Rully, with just a kiss of lemongrass on the finish. Recommended. Tasted over lunch at Corney & Barrow in London. - Drinking 2022 -2028 - Vinous 90
Domaine Guy et Yvan Dufouleur Pommard Les Vaumuriens 2018 750ml
Winemaker Description
The harvested grapes are carefully sorted in the winery. Enzymage, yeasting, cold pre-fermentation maceration for one week, daily pigeage, warm maceration. Aged for 12 months in oak barrels, of which 1/3 new, malolactic fermentation in barrels, then assembly in stainless steel tanks for 3 months. Light filtration to bring more clarity and aromatic purity.
Tasting Notes: Ruby-purple color with mauve gleams, aroma of blackberries, redcurrant, cherry stone. A feline and wild evolution is not uncommon over time. Orientation towards leather, chocolate, pepper. A wine to be allowed to age a little so that it opens fully. Wine for laying down.

Domaine Marc Colin Saint Aubin 1er Cru En Montceau 2020 750ml
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2020
Allen Meadows writes: An exuberantly spicy nose reflects notes of petrol, various citrus and white orchard fruit, in particular pear. The gorgeously textured and highly seductive medium-bodied flavors also possess fine mid-palate density before terminating in a balanced, firm and youthfully austere finale. This beauty offers the most sophisticated mouthfeel of any of the St. Aubin 1ers and should age well, indeed En Montceau is justly known for it. Allen Meadows’ Burghound 92 Outstanding Top Value 🖤
Neal Martin writes: The 2020 Saint-Aubin en Montceau 1er Cru is quintessentially Saint-Aubin on the nose, offering green apples, oyster shells and just a touch of petrichor, all showing wonderful delineation. The intense palate is very well balanced with fine-grained tannins and a judicious touch of spice and orange peel toward the sustained finish. Maybe it needs a little more on the aftertaste; otherwise, this is impressive... and delicious. Drinking 2024 - 2048. - Vinous 92-94
William Kelley writes: The 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Montceau is lovely, wafting from the glass with aromas of citrus zest, white flowers and pear, framed by a discreet touch of youthful reduction. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and chiseled, it's textural and concentrated, with good tension at the core and a long, precise finish. - Robert Parker Wine Advocate 92-94
Winemaker Description
The Colin 2020 whites were bottled in January 2022 under the Diam brand composite cork after having been fined but not filtered. As was the case with the 2019 vintage, I was again very impressed with the quality I found and the domaine just seems to continue to go from strength to strength.
