1981 Chablis

Seven cuvées are vinified apart and then blended together. Noticeably fuller than the village Chassagne, Puligny-Montrachet has dancing fruit with attractive freshness behind. The oak – less than 20% new wood – is beautifully integrated.

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.

New to Faiveley from the former Domaine Matrot-Witersheim, this comes from the top of Meursault Charmes, just below the Clos des Perrières – a great location. The fabulous bouquet absolutely conveys the essence of Charmes, while the fresh finish offers a perfect balance to the weight of the wine.

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.
