Reviewed March 2026This is from a fascinating vineyard in the middle of grand cru red country, and it is electric and generous. Aromas of citrus confit, salted nuts, sea spray, honeysuckle, wet stones and flint. The palate is mid-weighted and dense, with no fat whatsoever and so much tension and nerve. An absolutely excellent chardonnay that is delicious now and for many years to come. Drink or hold.

An attractive lemon and lime colour. The bouquet is reserved, discreet yet fine, before opening out a little more to display correctly ripe orchard fruit. There is a superbly managed generosity of fruit on the palate, building in waves rather than volumes, with depth as much as breadth at the back. This is a first class Clos Blanc with superb persistence. Drink from 2029-2038. Tasted Nov 2024.

This unique wine impresses with its quality, depth and character as much its rarity. The fruit aromas of nectarine and Mirabelle plum are charmingly accented with hints of white flowers, spice and beeswax. The texture has great elegance and a chiselled character that one wouldn't necessarily expect in 2023, with lovely freshness and length. The Chardonnay from the domaine's 3ha monopole is assembled with the grapes from a few Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc vines before pressing and fermentation in tank and ageing in cask.(CC)

Sylvie calls this "a beautiful year" for the wine, and I can only agree. Pure and focused, this smells of crushed chalk, pomelo and Poire Wiliams. Chiseled acidity makes this feel a touch stern on the palate, but it is elegant overall. Give this a few years to open up.
Notes
Bill Nanson Burgundy Report: "Always 3 harvests here – top, middle and then the bottom comes last. A wine with a faint toast at the top but depth and more depth of aroma – that’s impressive. Supple again but more architectural – silky wine – and absolutely gorgeously flavoured – not with any gaudy oak – just a great wine – bravo!"(01/2025)
