(6x75cl) 2021Vinous - Neal Martin (93)
The 2021 Corton Le Rognet Grand Cru has a reserved nose, well defined though there is some reduction to contend with. Crossing my fingers, I hoped it might improve with aeration but it refuses. Good use of whole bunch that, at least with time, I anticipate will add dimension. The palate is supple and smooth, much more attractive than the nose, but I wonder about the depth of this Corton. There is not much in the way of grip although I appreciate the pepperiness and Chinese 5-spice that linger on the aftertaste. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.Inc. TAX€641.68 -

The 2013 Bâtard Montrachet, Michel Niellon’s rarest cru (just two and a half barrels in 2013) was bottled at the beginning of September. It has an exotic, candied bouquet comparing it directly with the Chevalier-Montrachet with lush passion fruit and almond scents, all nigh irresistible. The palate is rounded and exotic in the mouth but not overbearing, armed with gorgeous orange peel, pineapple and lemon zest notes and then plenty of passion fruit toward the vibrant finish. This is holding nothing back, unlike the Chevalier-Montrachet, and it will be difficult to resist in its youth.Inc. TAX€3,507.66 -
Wine Advocate (94)
The 2015 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is a valedictory wine as the 90-year-old vines were pulled up after the fruit was picked (see producer introduction). You know, it actually surpasses the Chevalier-Montrachet in terms of mineralité and complexity, very refined with hints of orange blossom developing with time. The palate is very well balanced with a keen line of acidity, good tension and particular fine salinity here that urges you back for another sip. There is just a barrel and a half of this Bâtard-Montrachet so grab one now because it will not reappear for a long time.Inc. TAX€3,220.49 -

The 2021 Corton Le Rognet Grand Cru has a reserved nose, well defined though there is some reduction to contend with. Crossing my fingers, I hoped it might improve with aeration but it refuses. Good use of whole bunch that, at least with time, I anticipate will add dimension. The palate is supple and smooth, much more attractive than the nose, but I wonder about the depth of this Corton. There is not much in the way of grip although I appreciate the pepperiness and Chinese 5-spice that linger on the aftertaste. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.In Bond€511.00 -

The 2013 Bâtard Montrachet, Michel Niellon’s rarest cru (just two and a half barrels in 2013) was bottled at the beginning of September. It has an exotic, candied bouquet comparing it directly with the Chevalier-Montrachet with lush passion fruit and almond scents, all nigh irresistible. The palate is rounded and exotic in the mouth but not overbearing, armed with gorgeous orange peel, pineapple and lemon zest notes and then plenty of passion fruit toward the vibrant finish. This is holding nothing back, unlike the Chevalier-Montrachet, and it will be difficult to resist in its youth.In Bond€2,900.00 -

The 2015 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is a valedictory wine as the 90-year-old vines were pulled up after the fruit was picked (see producer introduction). You know, it actually surpasses the Chevalier-Montrachet in terms of mineralité and complexity, very refined with hints of orange blossom developing with time. The palate is very well balanced with a keen line of acidity, good tension and particular fine salinity here that urges you back for another sip. There is just a barrel and a half of this Bâtard-Montrachet so grab one now because it will not reappear for a long time.In Bond€2,665.00 -

Bright light yellow. Expressive nose combines pear, honey, menthol and flowers. Ripe, fine-grained and nicely concentrated, showing more gras than the Chaumées Clos de la Truffière but also healthy acidity and floral lift. A bit aggressive on the back end but not spiky, finishing with very good length.In Bond€1,260.00 -
