*All prices in bond* 88-90 pts, 3 stars, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy Brisk lively purple with a much more classy pinot bouquet. Raspberry with cherry in the background and this kicks on as it should, with a generous layer of red fruit at the back of the palate. Slightly dry finish nonetheless. Drink from 2027-2030.
*All prices in bond* 88-92 pts, 4 stars, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy A light green tint in the colour, with a fresh and floral nose, as always with a touch of lime blossom. Fine energy on the palate without putting on too much flesh, indeed medium bodied, quite an elegant hillside Meursault. Drink from 2026-2031.
*All prices in bond* 93-95 pts 4 Stars, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy This is still in barrel, unracked. Pale primrose, the bouquet is less easy to discern at this stage, with a minor oxidative note and some reduction. Put that to one side.
*All prices in bond* 87-89 pts 4 stars Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy A similar colour, pale primrose perhaps. A little bit crisper and more classic in bouquet. Delicious white fruit, very balanced, feel the limestone, enough flesh yet with precision as well. A longer and more mineral finish than Forgets.
*All prices in bond* 88 - 90 pts, 3 Stars, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy Pale lemon colour. Not much nose in these small glasses. There is good tension here on the palate, a crisp lemon note along with some fresh apples. Not immediately intense but with good length. A little touch of the positive youthful bitters.
*All prices in bond* 86 - 88 3 Stars, Jasper Morris, MW, Inside Burgundy Mid lemon and lime, restrained nose. A little bit of honeysuckle and musk here, but a significant concentration of fruit on the palate, with a density of texture. Plenty of wine to work with here. Drink from 2024-2027. Tasted: October 2023.
*All prices in bond* 87 - 89 pts 3 stars Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy Mid crimson red and paler at the rim. Not much bouquet. The fruit reappears on the palate, but a little astringent behind. Fairly typical village Aloxe. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted: October 2023.
The Premier Cru les Serpentières is located a stone's throw from Savigny-lès-Beaune , on the south-facing slope of the valley which moves away from the Corton hill. The gently sloping terroir, facing south, limestone and very stony, is a setting for Pinot Noir .
91-93 Neal Martin, October 2023 The 2022 Pommard Les Chanlins ler Cru is around 20% whole bunches and 35% new oak.
91-93, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Pommard Les Chaponnieres ler Cru contains 30% whole bunches and was raised in 40% new French oak. The nose offers brambly red fruit, hints of graphite and an endearing sense of Pinote; this is more elegant than the Chanlins.
91-93 ,Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Corton les Renardes Grand Cru is 100% whole bunches and 100% new French oak. It has a superb bouquet - you cannot tell the stems are here at all. Very floral with dried rose petals, a touch of lavender and pure red berry fruit.
90-92, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Pommard Les Argillieres ler Cru has around 20% whole bunches and 35% new French oak. Parent described this as an understated cru that has a more intense finish. It has a well-defined, very pure bouquet, a mixture of red and blueberry fruit. Fine mineralite.
90-92, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Pommard La Croix Blanche includes 10% whole bunches on the top of the vat. It has a delightful bouquet; those stems add a slight pepperiness. The 35% new oak is neatly integrated.
90-92, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Pommard Les Epenots ler Cru is a blend of the separately fermented Petit and Grands Epenots, about 50/50, 40% whole bunches and raised in 50% new French oak. The wood is just covering some of the fruit at the moment, so it will require some time to assimilate fully.
90-92, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Ladoix La Corvee ler Cru, completely de-stemmed, has a perfumed, violet-tinged bouquet ith a spring in its step. The medium-bodied palate has supple, fine tannins. It is fresh and vibrant, with a keen thread of acidity and a precise finish.
90-92, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Monthelie Les Champs Fulliots ler Cru comes from purchased fruit, although the Domaine controls the harvest, matured in less than 30% new oak. Pretty, pastille-like red and blueberry fruit on the nose, this is well-defined and comely.
