The 2013 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is a dramatic, expressive wine that bursts from the glass with aromas of buttered yellow orchard fruit, smoke, pastry cream, subtle apricot and spice. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and richly textural, with a bright but expansive profile and a long, heady finish. It's already drinking well.Inc. TAX€1,365.78 -

Pale, bright yellow. Musky stone fruits and iodiney minerality on the nose. A step up in concentration and mineral tension from the Caillerets, classically dry but still in a pliant style for the year, offering hints of soft citrus fruits, stone and clove. Finishes smooth, suave and long, with excellent breadth and ripeness.Inc. TAX€456.68 -

This is also notably reserved but aggressive swirling eventually liberates the densely fruited and noticeably minty nose that is composed by notes of white peach, pear, honeysuckle, wood and citrus hints. As is also typical, this large-scaled, intense, concentrated and overtly powerful effort is clearly bigger, richer and more imposing than the Chevalier but in 2013 I would describe the palate impression as even more refined than usual as it's taut and focused rather than simply massive. The complexity is already amazing as is the strikingly good persistence of the palate staining and beautifully well-balanced finish. And again like the Chevalier this is an exercise in harmony and grace that should enable this monument in the making to age effortlessly for years to come.Inc. TAX€3,214.44 -

The 2013 Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux has a sensual nose with subtle hazelnut, smoke and almost resinous scents, verging on Riesling scents, that are beautifully defined. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry with pleasing, mouth-watering salinity, easing back toward the finish with Granny Smith apples and a healthy dash of lemongrass.

Dark red with ruby highlights. Very ripe aromas of black cherry, licorice and menthol are leavened by a distinct medicinal reserve.
