Les Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2019
The 2019 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a clean, precise, more floral bouquet than the Valmur; white flower petal scents infuse the citrus fruit, along with a hint of egg whites. The palate is well balanced, taut and linear, with great poise and nervosité, leading to an intense and very persistent finish. This will vie with the Valmur as best Grand Cru.

Les Genevrières Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay 2017
The 2017 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru is taut and crisp on the nose, nicely focused and poised, with well integrated oak; the aromatics feel harmonious and complex. The palate is well balanced with a saline entry, and very citric in style. Plenty of ginger and lemongrass furnish the finish with admirable length. Excellent and very elegant. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2021)

Domaine Bernard Moreau & Fils
La Maltroie Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2017
The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru has quite an austere bouquet, backward and sultry at first, then hints of lemon zest, Conference pear and light earthy aromas emerging with time. The fresh, saline palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Initially, it misses a little finesse and precision toward the lemongrass-tinged finish, but returning after 10 minutes, I find a degree of elegance and harmony that wins me over. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2021)

Valmur Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2019
The 2019 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru was the standout from vat last year. Now in bottle, it displays brilliant delineation on a nose of yellow plum, wet limestone and light floral scents. The fresh, vibrant palate sparkles with energy and offers veins of tropical fruit that never impede upon the terroir expression. Impressive depth and length. Outstanding.

Domaine Jean Collet & Fils
Valmur Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2017
The 2017 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru has an attractive, well-defined bouquet featuring subtle undergrowth notes, flint and shucked oyster shells, although it certainly needs some time. The palate is very smooth and harmonious, delivering beautifully judged acidity, hints of orange pith and white peach and fine tension through to the finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2021)

Domaine Ballot-Millot & Fils
Charmes Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay 2017
The 2017 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru has a serious, taut, mineral-driven bouquet, one of the most understated within the lineup of Charmes. The palate is taut and linear like the nose, a doppelgänger for a Puligny-Montrachet, brimming with tension and energy but with just a little shrillness on the finish that will have to be addressed with bottle maturation. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2021)

The 2020 Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru, which was bottled just before the harvest, has an attractive bouquet with light flinty, earthy aromas. The palate is well balanced with orange pith and touches of mango, fine acidity and harmonious with a twist of bitter lemon that enlivens the finish. Fine length here.
