The nose may be somewhat restrained here but the palate is unexpectedly lush, with notes of crème patissière and an attractive apple-tinged acidity which maintains balance.

The bouquet is refined, while the palate has impressive weight and the tingling mineral feel of Corton-Charlemagne. This is a classic in the making.

Very pretty and floral on the nose yet with a proper density of fruit behind, this is elegant, stylish and perfectly proportioned; a fine blend of Puligny-Montrachet from the top and bottom of the hill.

Beautiful, pure, fresh and delightful, with superb balance right from the start, this has a terrific depth of fruit, a sense of grace and harmony, and a lovely mineral finish.

Similar in bouquet to La Cabotte but, if anything, with an even greater density of flavour, this wine offers an explosion of fruit with pears, peaches and fresh apricots developing across the palate. The acidity is almost hidden by the richness of the fruit but there is a seamless harmony throughout; a grand wine indeed.

Arnaud’s Clos des Ambres is fine, pure and fresh on the nose, developing a little butteriness after a few moments in line with a typical Meursault. Yields were especially low after spring hail, and this consequently has exceptional weight on the palate. Fabulous.

The pickers were sent into this vineyard on six separate occasions in order to pick the bunches at optimum ripeness and this extra work has clearly paid off. With a rich and seductive nose, Drouhin's Le Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche Grand Cru wine is incredibly complex on the palate, needing more time to come together of course, but nonetheless displaying an immense volume of fruit, with nicely judged mineral acidity and a truly stunning aftertaste.
