“Offering more minerality than the cuvee Classique, the 2014 Bandol La Tourtine is a structured, tannic effort that has lots of fruit, ample mid-palate density and a masculine, firm style that will need bottle age to resolve.”
- Wine Advocate (91-93 points)

“A delicious Champagne full of rose petal, wheat, cherry and citrus notes, all supported by a vivid acidity and chalky texture. An innate sense of power on a lightweight frame. Lengthy finish.”
- Wine Spectator

“More discreet wood more easily allows the overtly spicy aromas of poached plum, lavender and tea, The round yet reasonably well-detailed flavors possess a sophisticated mouth feel as well as fine mid-palate density, all wrapped in a youthfully austere, mineral-driven and very firm finish. Unlike the Grèves however, this excellent effort should be reasonably approachable after 5 to 7 years.”
- Burghound (92-94 points)

Michel Caillot’s wines have a clear, consistent house style. Domaine Caillot Meursault 2012 is a beautifully balanced white Burgundy that combines pure, clean lemon-citrus fruit, vanilla oak, fascinating minerality, a fine, creamy texture and a crisp, long and complex finish.

Presented in a 17th-century inspired bottle, it’s no wonder why this Champagne is among the best-selling Rose Champagnes of France.

“Pale salmon-pink. Sweet aromas of strawberry and earth. Frothy and ripe, with accessible flavors of strawberry, raspberry and earth. A bit aggressive but not heavy or crude.”
- Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar

“Everything went quickly in 2015, in the vineyards as in the cellar. A flowering at the beginning of June, a veraison begun in mid-July and grapes that one begins to harvest at the end of August. In this vintage, the grapes were perfect. An impeccable health status and optimal maturity. This vintage is solar, with generous wines.”

Though not as well-known as its distinguished neighbors, Charmes and Perrieres which are generally fatter and richer, Les Grand Charrons produces chardonnay of depth along with finesse in its style. The Chateau de Citeaux is known for getting the most out of what many think is among the top areas for Chardonnay in the world.

Crafted by Philippe Bouzereau at Château de Citeaux in the village of Meursault in the Côte de Beaune, this white Burgundy is highly sought after and offers full flavor and wonderful minerality.

“Moderate wood and menthol nuances serve as a less than neutral backdrop for the gamy, spicy and very ripe aromas of dark pinot fruit liqueur-like aromas. There is fine volume and outstanding intensity to the big-bodied and powerful flavors that possess flat out superb concentration thanks to the abundance of palate drenching sap that also serves to buffer the firm core of ripe tannins on the hugely long and wonderfully complex finish. While the underlying raw material is certainly present such that this will require 15 to 20 years to arrive at its full apogee, the sap is such that I suspect that it will allow this to be enjoyed after only 7 to 8 years of cellar time. This is one to look for provided that you have at least moderate patience.”

“A whiff of smoke pervades this version, with the core of gooseberry and lemon curd notes lingering on the tarragon-infused finish.”
- Wine Spectator (91 points)

“Deep ruby color with garnet hues, this is a wine a both finesse and power. Typical vintages can last for decades as the tannic structure and acidity provide exceptional aging potential.Among the most structured wines in the Cote de Beaune, this excellent wine pairs well with the most flavorful of foods, including foie gras, wild game with mushrooms, pork, rich fish such as sea bass or scallops, and regional cheeses such as Delice de Pommard, Comte and Epoisses.”

“Residual SO2 is sufficient to dominate the nose today. Marvelously energetic and intensely mineral-driven flavors also possess excellent cut that characterizes the bitter lemon and saline-inflected finish that delivers seriously fine length. This chiseled effort is almost Chablis-like and will require at least a few years of bottle age first.”

“A mineral edge with aromas of lightly spicy white peaches and sweet pastries, all leading to a palate with a very supple and fluid feel. Great acidity and depth. Rich, fluid, focused and quite long. Drink now.”
- James Suckling (93 points)

“The 2015 Corton ‘Rognet’ from Clos de la Chapelle is outstanding, offering up great purity to go with the depth, power and aging potential of the very best 2015s. Readers may recall that these fifty year-old vines lie just above those of Jean-Nicolas Meo on the slope in the heart of this lieu a dit, which lies alongside of Bressandes and Renardes. As deep as all of the top premier crus were here in 2015, there is an extra element of profundity evident in the Rognet, but one will have to be patient to enjoy this wine at its zenith. The very promising bouquet offers up scents of black cherries, dark berries, roasted venison, dark chocolate, a superb base of soil, woodsmoke and cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and tangy, with a rock solid core, impressive transparency, firm, ripe tannins, excellent focus and grip and a very long, poised and youthfully complex finish. This is going to be a long-distance runner par excellent, but once it is ready to drink, it is going to be pure magic.”

“Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Meursault Blagny 1er Cru La Genelotte 2011 from Martelet de Cherisey exhibits a slight flatness on the nose compared to the first wine, again with just a little SO2 evident. The palate is medium-bodied with a pleasant saltiness on the entry. This is nicely balanced with well-judged acidity, that saline element threaded through right to the poised, mineral-tinged finish. Fine.”
