Bourgogne Blanc Domaine Michelot (12 x 75cl)
Score: 15.5/20, Bibendum Commune: Meursault
Lifted citrus on the nose and good weight of fruit on the palate too. Clean and crisp with just an edge of spice. Pretty good length for the appellation too.

Meursault Domaine Michelot (12 x 75cl)
Score: 16/20, Bibendum Commune: Meursault
A very well made, well balanced Meursault with classic apple and peach fruit, lots of freshness and spicy, toasty oak.

Meursault Clos Saint Felix Domaine Michelot (12 x 75cl)
Score: 16.5 Commune: Meursault
From a small clos just behind the house on the edge of the village. Much more weight than the regular village wine. Very generous style with hazelnuts and cream balanced by the fine acidity.
£195
Meursault 1er Cru Les Poruzots Domaine Latour-Giraud (12 x 75cl)
Score: 16.5/20 Commune: Meursault
Very racy, fresh style of Meursault. Quite taut and sleek with the fruit richness tucked away for a rainy day. Will fatten up superbly.

Score: 17/20, Bibendum Commune: Meursault

Meursault Les Vireuils Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot (12 x 75cl)
Score: 16/20, Bibendum Commune: Meursault
Very forward, quite fruity style from a vineyard high up on the Cote towards Auxey-Duresses. Unmistakeable Chardonnay character and almost ready to drink now.
£230
Meursault en La Barre Domaine Francois Jobard (12 x 75cl)
Score: 17/20, Bibendum Commune: Meursault
Touch of botrytis with a honeyed, sweet, ripe attack. Great acidity too. Really very good and it won't budge for ages.
£260
Meursault Domaine Thierry & Pascale Matrot (12 x 75cl)
Score: 16.5/20, Bibendum Commune: Meursault
Restrained, attractive nose of white peaches and a crisp, elegant palate. Made from 12 different parcels in the village at varying points up the slope to give a real impression of the terroir.

Montagny 1er Cru Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot (12 x 75cl)
Score: 15.5/20, Bibendum Commune: Montagny
Bold, fruity and fun. Lots going on. A no brainer - the wine is brilliant for the cash.

Clos de Tart Grand Cru Mommessin (Magnums)
Score: n/a Commune: Morey St-Denis
We drove past the huge white sign on the wall of the Clos half a dozen times on our travels up and down the Cote but unfortunately didn’t manage to taste the 2006. The star of our 2005 EP tasting, we are sure Clos de Tart will be superb this year too.

Nuits St-Georges Domaine Emmanuel Rouget (12 x 75cl)
Score: 17.5/20, Bibendum Commune: Nuits St-George
Dark and serious. One look tells you all you need to know. Lots of black fruits on the nose and an almost liqueur like richness to the palate. Bold and spicy. One hell of a village wine.
£340
Nuits St-Georges Domaine Robert Arnoux (12 x 75cl)
Score: 16.5/20, Bibendum Commune: Nuits St-George
Poached strawberries, spices, liquorice and no shortage of elegance. Very good.

Nuits St-Georges 1er Cru Les Proces Domaine Robert Arnoux (6 x Magnums)
Score: 16.5/20, Bibendum Commune: Nuits St-George
The suppleness of the tannins compared to other growers we tasted (we loathe the phrase 'tannin management', but it gets the message across) is the standout feature of Pascal’s wines this year. This is a showcase example: pure, ripe and soft with great balance.
£360
Nuits St-Georges Domaine Jean Chauvenet (12 x 75cl)
Score: 16.5/20, Bibendum Commune: Nuits St-George
Incredible pot-pourri nose, quite unlike any other wine we came across but very intriguing and inviting. Focused, crisp palate with cherry and redcurrant fruit and fine tannins.
