90-92 VM The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru has a clean, precise bouquet that is just missing a little energy at the moment - much like the Les Clavoillons. The palate is well balanced with a tad more weight...

Albert Grivault Meursault Clos des Perrieres 1er Cru 2020 (750ML)

17 JR More intense than the Perrières tout court – but also likely to be a lot more expensive (judging by market prices for earlier vintages). Good stuff though.-Jancis Robinson Grivault owns the...

Blain-Gagnard Chassagne Montrachet Boudriotte 1er Cru 2020 (750ML)

92 VM / 91 BH Tasting note: Nuances of smoky reduction don't completely mask the aromas of pear essence though even so, I would suggest a quick aeration that it would be beneficial. There is better volume if a bit less...

Blain-Gagnard Chassagne Montrachet les Caillerets 1er Cru 2021 (750ML)

92 BH Tasting note: Enough wood to comment on sets off the borderline exotic aromas of orange peel, white peach, exotic tea and a hint of pineapple. The rich and very generous medium-bodied flavors once again brim with...

91 BH / 90+ WA / 90 VM / 90 JM Tasting note: Relatively firm reduction dominates the nose at present so be sure to give this some air first. More interesting are the concentrated but racy medium weight flavors that...
