Its contrast with Chassagne is as you might expect: a bit leaner and quieter in the early years, then hitting its stride with complexity and persistence building as it matures. It’s from up the slope, so the fruit has a bit more lemon and a bit more cut than the Chassagne. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

Boursot’s Chambolle 1er 2021 Fuées is large and impressive – even in a cooler vintage it needs several years to integrate and come into itself. But all of the elements are there for a truly delicious wine: tannin, fruit, concentration, acidity, length, and that signature Chambolle charm. If you’ve got room in the back of the cellar, this will handsomely reward patience.

Philippe brings a gifted winemaking technique developed through decades of experience, and has added superb family parcels to the Domaine’s range.Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru Les Feusselottes is indeed special, with more weight and concentration than village-level wines. A bright and quite deep purple, with greater density of raspberry, a solid weight of fruit across the palate, with firmer tannins behind. This is extremely refined this year, with an almost Morey-St-Denis-like detail and lacey elegance. The greater density and intensity calls for more time in the cellar, but patience will definitely be rewarded with the 2023. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

Jacqueline André’s grandfather stopped using chemicals in his vines in 1963, and the domaine has been certified organic since 1980 – the first in the appellation.
As it turns out, he was on to something -- those vines are now 140 years old, and continue to produce every year. Today Jacqueline André and her son craft the fruit of these ancient “grand dammes” (as they call them) into a single magnificent wine. No luxury batch or cuvée speciale here -- just one red, outstanding year in and year out.
One of each cuvée: 2020, 2021, 2022

As that long stretch has unfolded, our admiration for his style and the quality of his work has only grown. His wines are always clean and pure, made with respect for what the vineyard and season offers in each year, and made to provide pleasure in a wide drinking window.Morey’s Chassagne-Montrachet premier cru Vide Bourse is a rare gem. It’s a tiny parcel that adjoins the Grand Cru Bâtard-Montrachet, and its name comes from its location at a crossroads frequented by cut-purses and highwaymen. Clearly, it borrows some of the intensity and concentration of its famous neighbor. From Morris: Pale lemon. On the prettier side… Plenty of tension on top of the white fruit, and now the intensity really shows further back on the palate. Wonderful finish to this after a more nervous start.

His style is one of restraint and precision. We think of them as “minimalist” white wines — what’s not there (oak, butter, heaviness) is as important as what is there.
Morey’s Puligny vines are in Truffiere, a premier cru near the top of the slope near La Garenne. These wines typically need a year or more after bottling to show their real character, and the 2023 is likely to tread the same path. It’s chiseled and precise with delicate fruit and mid-acidity. From Morris: “A gorgeous bouquet, fully ripe but with energy, yellow and green fruit once could almost say, ripe limes and mirabelle. 13.3% natural which makes a great balance. This is all very primary but will make a gorgeous bottle, accessible quite early. Fine ripe citrus finish.” Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

The ripe and lightly mineral inflected medium weight flavors possess a velvety mouth feel as well as fine volume, all wrapped in a very solidly complex, balanced and lingering finish where a touch of wood resurfaces. A very good Nuits villages. Less (-) Free US Shipping |
