Château De La Velle

Domaine Laurent & Karen Boussey

Sur La Velle Monthelie 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2022

Love this 1er Cru and these 2022’s are really coming into their own these last 2 months after being a bit hurly burly. Nose is deep cherry, wild mint, gorgeous florals and minerals but overall an impression of thoroughly ripe fruit. Palate is so juicy and sleek. Huge fruit. So deep and the vivid red cherry fruit soaks into the palate like a crash of waves. The white caps being the ripe and sweet tannins. Such a killer vintage for Laurent. This has the guts for 10-15 years of aging. So juicy. Can’t wait to see how air hits this. Watch this space. — 8 days ago

Complex nose, spicey oak, green apple, gorgeous minerality, terrific spice, amazing deep minerality and a stunning expansiveness. Really wonderful white burgundy symphony on the nose. Just unreal. What a nose. Tree bark, dry soil. Just stunning. Wow. Juicy, energetic, luscious, fresh, vital, elegant, complex. Wow. What a wine. Just gorgeous. Maybe best Monthelie Blanc I’ve ever had from Boussey. Explosive and wonderful. Spicey as well. A brilliant bottle. Finish is epic. — 3 years ago

Les Charmes Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay 2017

Typé Meursault, beurré légèrement, du fruit blanc, un vin avec un bel équilibre entre cette richesse et cette générosité tout en ayant une acidité bien dosée, belle longueur. 91-92

Very typical nose and palate, nice balance and edging more towards fullness and richness but with enough acidity to support it, great length too. Love it.

Domaine Rougeot

Sous La Velle Meursault Chardonnay 2019

Less delightful than last bottle. Came out quite dark yellow relative expectations and oxidated.

Pairing confused the tasting but couldn’t help get some serious acidity and tartness. Some apple notes and not the bright lemon sunshine. This was limey.
