47°N 3°E (Guillaume Michaut)

Dom 47°N 3°E (Guillaume Michaut) 2021 Chablis 16.5

Name is the coordinates of the winery.
Floral, fine, attractive nose. Juicy and well judged with real drive. GV (JR)

Drink 2023 – 2030
£135 per case of 6 ib Berry Bros & Rudd
Dom 47°N 3°E (Guillaume Michaut), Côte de Savant Premier Cru 2021 Chablis 16 +

Côte de Savant is a lieu-dit within the Beauroy Premier Cru.
Oak is a bit too obvious on the nose. Perhaps it will abate but I think there are better bets. (JR)

Drink 2027 – 2035
£210 per case of 6 ib Berry Bros & Rudd

Domaine Stéphane Aladame (Montagny)

Dom Stéphane Aladame, Découverte Premier Cru 2021 Montagny 15.5

Eat your heart out Louis Latour Montagny available at £18 currently! Sweetish and easy to like – though, oddly, I wouldn’t mind a bit more acidity in this wine! Easy to like in the short term but without an excess of distinction. (JR)

Drink 2023 – 2026
£41.99 RRP imported by Liberty Wines
Dom Stéphane Aladame, Les Maroques Premier Cru 2021 Montagny 16

Much more grip and structure than the Découverte 2021. Good combination of acidity and flavour though definitely different from a Côte d’Or white. Medium finish. (JR)

Drink 2023 – 2028
£42.99 RRP imported by Liberty Wines

Bertrand Ambroise (Premeaux-Prissey)

Bertrand Ambroise 2021 St-Romain 15

Not very expressive at the moment, but opens to ripe lemon fruit. A little bit heavy, though the acidity is doing its best to bring balance. Sweet and sour on the finish with the acidity dominating. (JH)

Drink 2024 – 2027
£136.50 per case of 6 ib Montrachet Fine Wine Merchants
Bertrand Ambroise 2021 Côte de Nuits-Villages 15

Freshly scented with red fruits and noticeable oak sweetness/spice. Plenty of juicy fruit, but the oak is intrusive and the tannins a little bit hard, leaving a bitter aftertaste. (JH)

Drink 2024 – 2030
£136.50 per case of 6 ib Montrachet Fine Wine Merchants
Bertrand Ambroise 2021 Nuits-St-Georges 14.5

Cask sample. Mid to deep crimson. Ripe, sweet black fruit with a touch of dried fruits. Tough and chewy. Not much fun. (JH)

Drink 2025 – 2028
£186.50 per case of 6 ib Montrachet Fine Wine Merchants

Domaine Arlaud (Morey-St-Denis)

Dom Arlaud, Roncevie 2021 Bourgogne 15.5

Bright pale crimson. Just a hint of mousiness on the nose (though admittedly I am extremely sensitive to this). Rather hard and bitter on the end. More fruit please! (JR)

Drink 2025 – 2028
£126 per case of 6 ib Stannary Wine

Domaine de l'Arlot (Premeaux-Prissey)

Harvest commenced on 20 September –...
