One of the region's most charming yet least understood villages, Chénas in the hands of Dutraive comes off as a Morgon-Fleurie hybrid, with ample structure and gravitas supporting its inherently elegant fruit and tannin profile.
Domaine Follin-Arbelet Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is an exquisite white Burgundy, showcasing the elegance of Chardonnay from one of the most prestigious terroirs. With layered aromas of citrus, white flowers, and toasted almonds, it offers a rich, complex palate with vibrant minerality and a long, refined finish.
The excellent 2016 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Cras Vieilles Vignes Cuvée Claude Denogent offers up aromas of ripe pears, confit citrus, vanilla pod and mint, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered palate that's deep and powerful but more structured than the voluptuous Clos Reyssié, built around ripe acids and chalky dry extract.
As it should, this presently has an entirely different aromatic profile with its ripe and fresh combination of earth and sauvage characters together with both red and dark currant scents.
Composed of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc coming mainly from clay soils on the plateau and aged for one year in oak, 65% new, the 2015 Clos du Clocher springs forth with profound notes of crushed blackberries, black cherries and blueberry compote plus touches of iron ore, bouquet garni, beef drippings and black soil.
The 2017 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru matures in around 50% new oak has a well-defined bouquet with scents of Earl Grey infusing the dark berry fruit (darker than Rossignol-Trapet’s Premier Crus for example.)
The finest rendition of this cuvée to date, Santenay Les Vignes Denses derives from high-density plantings in lieu-dit Les Prarons. Unwinding in the glass with notions of crisp Anjou pear, lemon oil, vanilla pod and crushed chalk, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and complete, with a deep core of fruit that's framed by chalky dry extract and racy acids. This is worth a special effort to seek out.
Revisited in bottle, the 2021 Santenay Rouge Gravité has fulfilled all the potential it displayed from barrel. Mingling aromas of blackberries and cassis with hints of menthol, orange oil and exotic spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and velvety, with a fleshy, strikingly concentrated core of fruit that's framed by supple tannins, concluding with a long, saline finish.
Fourth-generation vigneron Bruno Colin is privileged to work some of the most prestigious sites in his home village of Chassagne-Montrachet. The house style could be described as a classical expression of these great climats, offering loads of Burgundian terroir with lovely texture, class, and precision.
At the very top of the Côte de Beaune between the villages of Meursault and Puligny, a few vineyard rows abut the forest known as the Bois de Blagny. Conditions are slightly cooler due to the elevation and the proximity to these woods, and the soil is chock-full of blocks of limestone.
Volnay tends to take on more ethereal qualities with a certain nervosity. That’s certainly apparent in this terroir, which exhibits gorgeous floral aromas and red stone fruits with vibrancy and length.
