Allen Meadows, Burghound "Sweet Spot" wine. 91 - 94 pts: Slightly more evident wood influence can be found on the less elegant but beautifully layered nose of citrus confit, acacia blossom and wet stone scents.

93-96 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy: A small lot so better to assemble early, which has just been done. A fresh green light shines through the clouds nonetheless. Picked among the first, a little yellow fruit plums and fresh white peaches. Salty rather than saline, with a fine firm backbone.

5 Star Wine 93-95 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy: From multiple plots: east facing kimmeridgian marl in Pied d’Aloue (0.50ha), one hectare in Chapelot, (more soil here, fatter wine), then the rest in Bréchain, where vines dating back to 1936, give tension. What a beautiful bouquet.

5 Star Wine, 93-95 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy: Clear lemon and lime colour. Just a very light coquillage reduction. Then the wine builds a beautiful level of intensity on the palate, a lime thread, very salivating for its dry finish. An impeccable balance, this is faultless. And so persistent!

93-95, Jasper Morris, MW, Inside Burgundy

5 Star Wine 95-98, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy: Mostly from old vines, a good half planted between 1948 and 1952. Translucent lemon and lime colour. The bouquet is not ready to unfurl yet there is a sense of sublime purity about the nose. A wine in perfect harmony on its wide bench of white fruit.

92-95 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy: Fresh pale green tint. Didier describes this as the entry level grand cru. The average age of the vines is at or above 60 years.

5 Star Wine, 93-97 pts Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy: A glowing pale lemon and lime. Sunny and fresh at the same time, with an extraordinary tension on the nose. Still a wine of discretion, Didier has made wines which completely avoid heaviness while still delivering all that is necessary in concentration and backbone.

5 Star wine, 89-92 pts, Jasper Morris MW, Insude Burgundy: To bottle in November. The average age is 40 year old vines, and 10% in wood. Excellent long finish. Sources are Chablis and Chichée for half and the rest in Viviers, 50 year old vines.

93 points, James Suckling "Plenty of blue fruit and violets with some black licorice and hints of asphalt. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and linear, firm tannins that frame the wine. Very fine texture." 

Apostolos Thymiopoulos, one of Greece’s most exciting young winemakers, is considered an absolute expert on Xinomavro and on the Naoussa terroir, the region the grape is indigenous of. His Rosé de Xinomavro is, quite possibly, one of the best Rosés you’ll ever drink and a favourite of sommeliers and critics worldwide.

Wine Safari Score: 95/100 Greg Sherwood MW: After the block buster 2021 Monk Stone Chenin Blanc, the new release 2022 from Stark Conde will certainly draw a lot of attention.

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.

Wine Safari Score: 90-92/100 Greg Sherwood MW. Classical nose of earthy savoury bramble berry fruits, Asian spices, liquorice and black berry.

90-93, Allen Meadows, Burghound. Tasted: Jan 10, 2024. An admirably discreet dollop of wood is present on the spicier broad-ranging nose of red and black pinot fruit, plum and exotic tea scents.
