Dominique Lafon farms a small holding here for the owners. The resultant wine is amazingly fine, with a floral nose and brilliant elegance. It is very tense and energetic but with a delicacy reminiscent of a mix of spring flowers and mirabelle plums, all done up in a most graceful package.

The bouquet has taken on a honeyed richness, characteristic of many 2008s now, while the fresh acidity maintains a vibrancy. There is apple and peach on the palate and a lovely texture. This Chassagne-Montrachet is absolutely perfect for drinking during the summer months.

Fine, plump and aromatic with white peaches to the fore, this wine’s rich, generous fruit covers the latent acidity and delivers a lingering finish

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.

Maurice Drouhin made a speciality out of the white wines from this lovely vineyard and the quality is as fine as ever in 2008, although volumes are certainly reduced. Full, bright and beguiling, the acidity is absolutely covered by the flesh of the wine. This needs time.

This Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet is an exceptional wine at a very reasonable price. The nose is bursting with rich fruit which continues in the mouth for what seems like an age. There is sensational length and the flavours are topped off with just the right leavening of new oak.

This wine displays an impressive weight of fruit on the nose and a real sense of energy too. It is beautifully aromatic, while the acidity folds perfectly into the generous fruit on the palate. Perfectly balanced, this is a very fine Meursault.

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.
