Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay. Practising Organic
A late-ripening terroir which was picked last. Nicely fat, with a lightly phenolic finish, it's pure and long.
L&S2020 SAVIGNY LES BEAUNE Blanc Clos du Village Thibault Liger-Belair Successeurs
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay.
(primarily chardonnay with a small amount of pinot blanc). There is a vague whiff of the exotic present on the essence of pear, passion fruit and discreet floral wisps. The middle weight flavors are finer though not as c...(read more)

Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay.
2021 SAVIGNY LES BEAUNE Blanc Clos du Village Thibault Liger-Belair Successeurs
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay.
20-30% Pinot Blanc in the vineyard. Long fermentation, so still half-made when we tasted. Good volume and body, it's something a little different, but very likeable. Not very deep soils - it's on pebbles.
L&S2022 PULIGNY MONTRACHET Domaine Berthelemot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay.
20% new oak. Cask sample. Subtle oak notes on the nose. Creamy herbal citrus. These Berthelemot wines have a lovely balance between generous, pure fruit and excellent freshness. (JH) 13%
Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com2022 PULIGNY MONTRACHET Levrons Domaine Berthelemot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay.
I have never written ‘cheap Puligny’ in my life, but this wine ducks in under £50 all told and has more character and energy than many wines twice its price (Puligny is a particularly messy village in this vintage,...(read more)
Matthew Jukes www.matthewjukes.com2021 SAINT AUBIN 1er Cru Clos du Meix Domaine Joseph Colin
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay.
A bit more supple, a bit more weight. There's good drive and concentration, but still tight and expression will come in time. Dry finish. Last of the Premiers Crus to be picked, often with Frionnes and Chatenière,...(read more)
L&S2021 SAINT AUBIN 1er Cru 'Oratorium de Saint Aubin' Domaine Joseph Colin
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay.
This cuvée is made up of three Premiers Crus, Sous la Roche Dumay, Sentiers du Clou and (very little of) les Combes. At 10hl/ha there was not enough to vinify these separately. Quite rich, there's good depth and r...(read more)
L&S2021 CHASSAGNE MONTRACHET Les Chênes Domaine Fernand & Laurent Pillot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13.5% White
Chardonnay.
A more composed and refined village wine, with less obvious fruit, nicely rich in the mid-palate, still with the vintage's citrussy notes in the background. Nicely done.
L&S2021 SAINT AUBIN 1er Cru Chatenière Domaine Joseph Colin
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay.
18hl/ha. Normally Joseph's parcel in Chatenière is late ripening as it's low down and loses the sun early in the day, but with the low yield it ripened early and has the character of a sunny site, combined with th...(read more)
L&S2022 PULIGNY MONTRACHET Vieilles Vignes Domaine de la Choupette
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13% White
Chardonnay.
Good classic nose, fresh, pure and clean. Palate has real energy and a pure tight focus. Breadth builds - there is white crunching apple flesh - warm citrus tart - and lovely long, sleek finish. Balanced, round and yet v...(read more)
