Here the nose is moderately atypical with its array of white pepper, menthol, essence of pear and mineral reduction. There is outstanding volume to the stony and powerful larger-scaled flavors that possess a fleshy, even plump, mid-palate while delivering reasonable length on the vaguely sweet finale. As the description suggests, this is somewhat awkward today though it may better harmonize in time and my rating offers the benefit of the doubt that it will.Inc. TAX€2,493.98 -

The 2010 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru from Jean-Noel Gagnard, out of magnum, is quite deep in color, although not premoxed. It has an open bouquet of white flowers, yellow plum and orange pith, nicely defined if just needing a little more mineralité. The palate is fresh and vibrant with crisp acidity, lovely walnut and hazelnut notes rendering it quite Meursault-like, and plenty of weight and concentration toward the finish.

Discover the distinguished elegance of Jean-Michel Giboulot Savigny-les-Beaune Blanc 2021, a white wine that exemplifies the refined complexity of Burgundy's Côte de Beaune region. Exclusively crafted from Chardonnay grapes, this wine hails from Savigny-lès-Beaune, known for its unique terroir that infuses aromatic nuances into its produce. This vintner utilises organic farming techniques, ensuring each vine thrives in harmony with nature, leading to impeccably pure and vibrant fruit.
The 2021 vintage underwent meticulous vinification; the grapes were gently pressed and the juice fermenting in oak barrels to attain a subtle oaken undertone that beautifully complements its crisp minerality. Jean-Michel Giboulot, a proponent of minimal intervention, oversees this process to preserve the authentic expression of the terroir. This wine offers a delicate balance of freshness and complexity, with floral hints and an undercurrent of citrus zest, ideal for pairing with seafood or creamy poultry dishes.

The 2010 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru from Jean-Noel Gagnard, out of magnum, is quite deep in color, although not premoxed. It has an open bouquet of white flowers, yellow plum and orange pith, nicely defined if just needing a little more mineralité. The palate is fresh and vibrant with crisp acidity, lovely walnut and hazelnut notes rendering it quite Meursault-like, and plenty of weight and concentration toward the finish. I do not estimate this to be a long-term Bâtard, so don’t hesitate to pull the cork soon. Tasted at Sarah Marsh’s 2010 white burgundy tasting in London.In Bond€3,645.00 -

A notably ripe and ever-so-mildly exotic but not really surmature nose consists primarily of spicy white orchard fruit along with hints of wood, white flowers and viognier. The rich, opulent and vibrant broad-shouldered flavors possess lovely complexity while delivering excellent length on the powerful and focused if somewhat linear finish. This will almost certainly add body with age, and it appears to be structured for mid to even longer-term cellaring.In Bond€3,040.00 -

The 2019 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from a one-third hectare of vines of which half is en friche (fallow), so only a couple of barrels are produced. It has a very delineated bouquet with enticing citrus peel, crushed pebbles, Clementine and blackcurrant leaf aromas. The palate is very well balanced with impressive concentration and slightly viscous on the entry. Quite rich for a Bâtard-Montrachet yet poised and mineral-driven on the finish. What a wonderful Bâtard-Montrachet - and I confess that I could not resist a cheeky morning sip!In Bond€2,820.00 -

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-97)
Sample taken from barrel and tank. Clear mid yellow. The bouquet is very backward today but there is great class to the fruit on the palate, with a little honeydew melon suddenly surging forth at the finish. Multi-layered, at the very least adequate acidity with a very long aftertaste. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Dec 2024.In Bond€2,335.00 -

The 2008 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Cailleret has a delightful bouquet, perhaps now fully mature with almond, grilled walnut and light minty aromas developing in the glass. I appreciate the cohesion and focus here. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, quite phenolic and pithy. The acidity could maybe be a little higher just to counter that weight, although I like the unabashed spiciness and that tang of white pepper that lingers on the aftertaste. This is worth seeking out. Tasted at Sarah Marsh's 2008 White Burgundy tasting.In Bond€652.00 -

Bright, pale yellow. Highly aromatic nose combines orange zest and crushed stone. The broadest of these 2014 samples but energized by mineral-driven acidity and a strong salty quality. Finishes firm-edged and long, with subtle orange-y sweetness and crushed-rock minerality.In Bond€1,420.00 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-97)
5*s 34 hl/ha. Fine pale lemon, with a very distinct Caillerets nose - all the stones you could want - to support the pure white fruit. Impeccable density on the palate, now including some bright yellow plum fruit, racy acidity, layers on layers here, boding well for the future. Perfect balancing acidity, this has the power to age extremely well.In Bond€689.00 -

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-96)
Glowing pale lemon and lime. The nose is particularly fine, showing the stony majesty of Caillerets. The energy is equal right across the palate with excellent tension behind. The aftertaste is first class, and though this may become attractive to drink relatively soon, it will absolutely repay keeping Drink from 2029-2038. Tasted: October 2023.In Bond€914.00 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-96)
Sample taken from barrel and tank. Mid to full lemon yellow. A remarkably intense bouquet with a sizzling crystalline character. There is just a touch of the richer character with a little honeysuckle note, but Caillerets’ intense minerality is very present. Still a baby. Drink from 2029-2035.

The 2021 Chablis Fourchaume 1er Cru shows a little more reduction on the nose compared to other cuvées but a pleasant flintiness develops with time. The palate is well balanced with a cohesive entry, fine weight although it doesn't quite deliver the same precision as the Mont de Milieu at the moment. Fine.In Bond€101.00
