Jean-Marc Pillot
Les Vergers Clos Saint-Marc Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014
Pure and light. Lime and slate. Delicious and focused. Still quite tight. Lucid and punchy with salinity. — 2 months ago
Domaine François Carillon
Puligny-Montrachet Chardonnay 2020
Yes. Still very tightly end, there’s a feeling of complexity and subtlety from the tightly wound Orchard fruit. The focus is under underlying tension, with a touch of woodsy hazelnut and a long acid driven finish. Reminds me of PYCM in a good way — 8 days ago

Domaine Ramonet
Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 2013
A thrilling nose. Lemon oil, limestone, bright zesty fruit. Really detailed and exhilarating with the lightest hint of mint freshness and a long finish. Stunning — 2 months ago
Domaine Leflaive
Les Combettes Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2020
Wonderfully steely and austere. A tad young but this wine’s reserved nature just made its mineral and finish more interesting to me. Apple and some green fruit. Paired with an eight course French seafood meal this wine was the perfect one to be at the wheel. Fantastic! — 3 months ago

The 2005 Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru came from an original bottle, i.e., not reconditioned at the Domaine due to premox problems. It has a rich and concentrated bouquet, with hints of wild honey intermixed with white flowers and broom. It shows a wonderful definition, a hint of candy floss emerging with aeration. The palate is very well-balanced with great poise, a silver thread of acidity and a dash of white pepper and crustacea towards the sustained finish. Outstanding. Tasted at Clarette in London.
