2023 Bourgogne Blanc Antoine Jobard
£150.00 In Bond £199.24 Inc VAT (£33.20 Per Bottle)-
Neal Martin, November 2024, Score: 86
The 2023 Bourgogne Blanc has a light apple blossom bouquet with fine delineation. The palate is a bit soft around the edges, but it's nicely spiced with nectarine and passion fruit toward the finish. Drink over two or three years.

Glorious in every respect, this is the definition of a QP wine, and it sums up Jobard’s skill, the better qualities of the 2023 vintage and its site in Meursault. I absolutely love it and the value for money is sublime, too.

In bottle. Pale lemon, quite a soft and sunny nose, deeper white fruit on the palate, adequate acidity, some length. A bit chunky. Drink from 2026-2028. Tasted Nov 2024.

A blend of five different parcels within the commune of Meursault, as made in 2022. We tasted just two days after bottling and it was already showing all its colours! A Meursault-esque viscosity with ripe apricot and yellow fruit flavours. Creamy and seductive, with forward drinking charm.

2023 Pernand Vergelesses Blanc Les Cloux Rollin Père Fils
£171.00 In Bond £224.44 Inc VAT (£37.40 Per Bottle)-
Matthew Jukes, January 2025, Score: 17.5
Not a year goes by without me recommending a Rollin wine, and all three Pernand whites look good in 2023. Les Cloux is my pick because it has more density than the village wine and it has more brightness and freshness than the great 1er Cru Sous Frétille (whose price has escalated of late). With a more chiselled and Chablis-esque shape than many Chablis, this is a stunning wine and a perpetual QP candidate, too.

Plenty going on here – smells of charred sweetcorn and lots of fruit. Sweet yellow peaches and nectarines on the palate. Sappy and gluttonous with fruit. I think I may have to wipe my chin! Also really, really nice texture ('white tannins'; linen). Quite some depth. (TC)

Sitting behind the hill of Corton, these vines are positioned within a sheltered combe which offers protection and warmth, ideal for managing temperature fluctuations. The vineyard’s warmer location comes through with appealing yellow fruit characters of apricot and melon. A silky, creamy mouthfeel, whilst maintaining a zing of Pernand freshness with hints of roasted nuts on the finish.

Matthew Jukes, January 2025, Score: 17.5+
Perfumed, spicy, bright and packed with fruit, this is a rare, inexpensive Pinot that shows true class and epic winemaking. Although many will drink it on arrival, it is not a forward wine. If you can hang on until 2027, it will be liquid red cherries with balancing bright acidity, all for the cost of under £30!

Picked the last Sunday. A rich glowing purple. The bouquet though comes across as sunnier than the rest of the village wine. Rather a roasted element. Same on the palate, yellow peaches (a feature of the 2003 vintage) with some firm tannins.

GWL, December 2024
This is a monopole vineyard owned by the Tollot family in the north of the appellation, delivering pure Pinot fruit at its very best. This was the last parcel to be picked at the estate in 2023 and is a more generous style than some years. Dark cherry and blueberry with layers of spice and vanilla pod. Juicy, warming and easy.

Burghound, January 2025, Score: 90-92
Once again very ripe yet agreeably fresh aromas display notes of poached plum, earth and spice along with a kirsch top note. The seductive, sappy and beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors that aren't quite as mineral-driven as those of the Clos du Roy but offer slightly better depth on the impressively long and youthfully austere finale.

This is always a good wine and in 2023 it soars above the competition, and I mean many of the wines from next door, Gevrey-Chambertin, too. Floral, bright, fairly dry and unforced, this is a bold style and one that will age and develop evenly and with purpose.

Roses and quince and sour cherry juice. Playful and yummy. Touch of fresh bay leaf. Delicately gritty and muscular tannins. Playful but seriously good quality and tremendous clarity and focus on the end. (TC)

Under consideration as a Premier Cru, the Longeroies vineyard sits at the north of the Marsannay commune and is split in two, with the upper part sited on limestone slabs and the lower composed of reddish marl. With ripe Morello cherry and grenadine notes on the nose, generous fruit in the mid palate and plush, supple tannins, this cuvée shows more influence from the heavier marls of the lower Longeroies. A velvety expression of Pinot with immediate charm, a hint of savoury heather and gentle, blood orange acidity bring additional layers of interest to the finish.

This is the one red that I thought about all week. I could not get its flavour and poise out of my mind. It captures Pinot Noir's beauty without adding any excess in any department – perfume, flavour, finish, balance, oak, acidity, juiciness or weight. It is pinpoint accurate in every way, and it will not fall over for six or seven years either, so get in quick. This is a genuine discovery...

Made from half a hectare of superbly positioned vines just below the famous Clos de la Maréchale, this is a highly fragrant cuvée with captivating floral notes, which Pauline likens to blackcurrant blossom, and aromas of wild strawberry. Bright, pretty and elegant, the palate shows sweet red cherry fruit upfront, fine-grained, supple tannins and a driving mineral tension.

With four years to run before you open a bottle, this is a genuine treat, and it offers a Grand Vin flavour for way less than £50.

Another fine deep purple. Here the bouquet is noticeably less solar. Even so, there is a slight peachiness on the nose, but it is pure red fruit on the palate with weight and an attractive warmth. Excellent length, mostly on the raspberry. Succulent and satisfying.

GWL, December 2024
A very popular Premier Cru, thanks to its southerly exposure, contributing to a less rustic and more charming Savigny than some of its neighbours. The Tollot wine shows a perfect balance of young and old vine fruit. Uplifting aromas of raspberry and tayberry, highlight the domaine’s destalking policy. The fruit is ripe and round on the palate, with harmonised tannins. A gentle, satisfying impression of sweet ripe berry fruit on the finish.
