Chablis Montmains 1er Cru 2014
“The 2014 Chablis 1Er Cru Montmains saw partial maturation in demi-muids. It has a very composed, mineral-driven, flinty bouquet that unfurls with aeration in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, though perhaps it is missing the depth and substance to rank alongside the best Montmains. Enjoy this over the next 4-5 years.” 88 points

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate 15th July 2016
“Scents of white flowers in happy mix with spiced pear and hint of vanilla-careful oak? This sensuousness is firmly anchored by beautiful minerality on the palate, a signature of this focussed vintage. Again, a fine counterpoint of roundness and tension ending in a riot of minerals. Classic stuff.” 90 points
NA, World of Fine Wine 1st April 2016
Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 2014
“Another chiselled linear expression in the modern idiom. Green fruits, especially lime, grapefruit, nicely enriched by honey and vanilla. Very subtle oak. Exceptional.” 96 points
NA, World of Fine Wine 1st April 2016
Viré-Clessé 2017
“Full candied-citrus character and just a whiff of smoke. Medium-bodied with some tannin that makes this quite a dry wine, in spite of the moderate acidity and rather creamy palate.” 89 points
James Suckling, jamessuckling.com 12th February 2019
St Véran 2016
“An elegantly floral nose, with savoury stone fruits, papaya, and a chalky note. The palate is upfront and juicy, with mild creamy and spicy hints.” 88 points
Stephen Brook, Emma Dawson MW, Matt Wilkin MS, Decanter 22nd February 2018

Savigny-les-Beaune Hauts Marconnets 1er Cru 2014
“Much the smokiest of the Chanson whites so far, with inviting struck-match notes not overdone because the quince and citrus zest sings through. There’s even a touch of clementine here. Really intense on the palate without any loss of freshness. Lots going on even now but also a promising furture. This is always one of my favourite Chanson whites and the 2014 does not disappoint.” 17/20
Julia Harding MW, Jancis Robinson 11th January 2016
Beaune Bastion 1er Cru 2014
“Starts out with matchstick and petrol aromas, switching to lemon cake and white peach notes as this develops across the palate. Firm and chalky, presenting a lingering minerally quality on the finish. Drink now through 2025.” 93 points
Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator 28th February 2017
Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Charmois 2012
“Bright fresh oaky citrus and spiced aroma. Broad and flavourful but quite light on the mid palate. Then surprisingly persistent. Relatively soft but still fresh.” 16/20

Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator 1st September 2016

Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com 7th January 2015
Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatieres 1er Cru 2014

Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator – web only 2016
Corton Vergennes Grand Cru 2011
“Amazingly heady and rich on the nose. Satin texture and so much its own boss. More refreshing than the Corton Charlemagne but certainly no leaner. Most impressive. Great white Burgundy! Crunchy and racy and complete.” 18/20
Jancis Robinson, Jancis Robinson 4th February 2013
Givry 2016
“The tannins and density of this wine are serious, dominating the fruit at this stage. Later, they will serve to support the ripe berry flavors and acidity. This wine should develop well and be ready to drink from 2022.” 91 points
Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast 1st April 2019
Marsannay 2017
“A firm and powerful wine with a pronounced, earthy character, the bold tannins giving it plenty of personality, too. Good length and no hard edges. Needs hearty food like cassoulet or boeuf bourguignon to give its best. Drink or hold.” 88 points
James Suckling, jamessuckling.com 12th February 2019
Nuits-Saint-George 2013
“Features ample cherry, blackberry and violet flavors under a cloak of acidity and tannins, along with spice and earth accents. Finishes sharp, needing time to knit together. Best from 2017 through 2024.” 91 points
Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator 31st May 2016
Gevrey-Chambertin 2013

Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator 30th April 2016
Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru 2014
“Full, dark red. Knockout nose combines dark raspberry, cranberry, orange zest, rose petal, pepper and sexy oak tones, plus a slightly wild meaty quality. Densely packed and seamless, offering youthfully reserved flavors of cranberry, spices and mocha; really bulletproof fruit here. Finishes with substantial, tactile, essentially fine-grained tannins and subtle rising length. This Clos de Bèze should unfold beautifully over the next 15 to 20 years.” 93 points
Stephen Tanzer, Vinious March 2017
Beaune Bastion 1er Cru 2013
“A rounded wine, this is a blend of different premier-cru vineyards in Beaune. It packed with raspberries and red cherries. The acidity, typical of the year, is restrained here by the ripe fruitiness. Tannins give the wine just the right amount of support.” 91 points
Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast 1st August 2016
Pernand-Vergelesses Les Vergelesses 1er Cru 2013
“Always an impressive vineyard, it has produced a dense wine in this vintage. It’s full of both intense, perfumed red fruits and smoky, dusty tannins that give an elegant structure.” 92 points
Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast 1st August 2016
Savigny-Dominode 1er Cru 2011
“A four-acre parcel in the middle of this premier cru yields a wine with richness. Tannins are well-embedded in the red fruits and the wine shows good freshness at the end. It’s already delicious and perfumed, with a firm, dry core. Drink from 2017.” 90 points
Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast 1st August 2016
Beaune Teurons 1er Cru 2015
“Generous with a lot of black cherries, but also with a hint of something gamey. Medium to full body, fruity yet firm with some good acidity underneath. Drink or hold.” 93 points
James Suckling, jamessuckling.com 12th February 2019
Beaune Teurons 1er Cru 2014
“More complex than the Clos du Roi – there’s fine red fruit, a light note of spice but it is far from simple. Tannins show some grip, though they are smooth. Depth and embryonic complexity. Well sustained and at the moment thickly textured. Freshness just right.” 16.5/20
Julia Harding MW, Jancis Robinson 11th January 2016
Beaune Grèves 1er Cru 2011
“This is a blend from ten different parcels of the Grèves vineyard. It’s beautifully smooth, hiding its structure behind generous red fruits as well as a fresh, crisp texture. It’s complex, warm, very perfumed and elegant. Drink from 2017.” 93 points
Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast 1st September 2014
Beaune Clos des Fèves 1er Cru 2012
“A beam of marinated cherry steams ahead in this vibrant, silky red. Vanilla, olive, earth and tobacco accents add complexity, while the finish tightens up. A pleasant, stony inflection lingers. Best from 2017 through 2026.” 91 points

Beaune Clos des Mouches 1er Cru 2011
“Firm and structured, this dense and dark wine offers ripe black fruits and a concentrated texture. It also shows good acidity and the fruitiness of 2011, giving a wine that is both rich and fresh. Age and drink from 2017.”93 points
Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast 1st September 2014
“Ripe and rich, this full-bodied wine retains minerality as well as attractive acidity. Crisp lemon flavor is rounded out with peach and apple skin fruits. The wood, already integrated, gives richness and smoothness. Drink from 2016.” 93 points
Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast 1st September 2014
Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches 2016
“The 2016 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches wafts from the glass with a classy bouquet of wild berry fruit, rose petal, spices and rich soil tones. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy, with a sapid core of fruit, powdery tannins and mouthwatering acids. This is a definite success chez Chanson.” 92 points
William Kelley, Wine advocate 30th April 2019
“Excellent floral fragrance – open, spicy, expressive. Pure red fruits too – redcurrant, cranberry. Smooth and rounded in texture, yet with enough tannin to support long ageing. Superb length.” 17,5/20
Jancis Robinson 28th November 2017
Fleurie 2013
“Mellow with a lovely redcurrant scent and lightly spiced Victoria plum flavour. Delicious with Chinese five-spice duck.”

Tomas Clancy, Sunday Business Post 14th August 2016
