2021 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros William Fèvre
£200.00 In Bond £248.04 Inc VAT-
Goedhuis, December 2022
William Fèvre own 6 hectares within Bougros and makes two different cuvées. This wine comes from a 4-hectare parcel of old vines planted by William’s father in the 1940s and 1950s. Pannacotta, toffee and Jersey cream all mixed together make for a hugely pleasing style. Generous, full and flowing, less mineral than some, a real temptress, joyous and long-lasting finish.

Burghound, October 2022, Score: 91-94
This is also aromatically reserved though determined swirling slowly reveals smoky aromas of green fruit, citrus and mineral reduction. The dense and very powerful big-bodied flavors flash plenty of muscle on the palate drenching and hugely long finish. This isn’t refined, in fact it’s rustic but it is undoubtedly impressive in its fashion. Drink 2031+

Jasper Morris MW, December 2022, Score: 91-94
From old vines of around 60-65 years on average. Fresh pale colour with a light green tint. Clear pale colour, slightly smoky, good volume of fruit, the smoke coming out in the mouth as reduction on the seashells. Solid weight here, plus the minerals as well. Pretty good intensity across the piece with density at the back. Drink from 2027-2033.
2021 Corton Grand Cru Domaine Rapet Père et Fils
£450.00 In Bond £556.07 Inc VAT-
Goedhuis, December 2022
The Rapet Corton comes from Pinot Noir in two different parcels on the Aloxe Corton side of the hill. The vines here are planted on red iron soil providing substance and backbone to the naturally harmonious style of wine for which Vincent strives. Brick red colour, this is darker fruit in nature, with characters of Morello cherry and cassis. It has a sensual sweetness, with a firm gritty tannic core.
2021 Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots Domaine de Bellene
£750.00 In Bond £916.07 Inc VAT-
Goedhuis, December 2022
This superb Premier Cru sitting between Echezeaux and Romanée St Vivant is a very special Domaine de Bellene wine, from very old vines planted back in 1937. Always one of Vosne Romanée’s more serious Premiers Crus, it has striking dark black fruit flavours. The tannins are weighted and yet refined. Great length and lots of ageing potential.
2021 Chambertin Grand Cru Maison Roche de Bellene
£2,700.00 In Bond £3,256.07 Inc VAT-
Goedhuis, December 2022
A more floral bouquet in comparison to the Bèze, with rose petal and cranberry. Lively and fresh on the attack ahead of the grip and layered earthy tannic structure. The grace of the red fruit flavours is a diversion from the noticeable power and depth of this aristocratically styled wine. Extremely long and a mass of complex nuance.
2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Domaine Louis Jadot
£785.00 In Bond £958.07 Inc VAT-
Goedhuis, December 2022
Domaine Louis Jadot has a substantial holding of 2 hectares in this famous Grand Cru at the lower end of the vineyard. This is a firm and more linear styled Clos de Vougeot, with bright racy red fruits, a touch of smoky vanilla oak. Plenty of muscle shows off the reputation this famous Cru has for making wines for the long term.

Jasper Morris MW, December 2022, Score: 91-94
A pink purple colour of medium density. Correct density on the front of the palate then really quite a brutal tannin at the back. The bouquet is not showing much yet and the palate is a bit grumpy. The Clos Vougeot is going through a surly stage but should deliver in due course. Drink from 2028-2035.
2021 Volnay 1er Cru Santenots Nicolas Rossignol
£465.00 In Bond £574.07 Inc VAT-
Goedhuis, December 2022
Nicolas has two different vineyard plots in this fine Premier Cru. The younger 20-year-old parcel borders Volnay and the older 70-year-old parcel lies beside Meursault. He describes it as a Volnay with Côte de Nuits DNA. A delicious succulence of rich pulpy fruit, sloes and wild stewed fruits. Fleshy and rounded tannins, with a refined delicate Pinot twist at the end. Extremely expressive.
