Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru 'Morgeot', Domaine Ballot-Millot, (Magnum) 2020
Ballot-Millot’s 2020 Morgeot is a beautifully composed Chassagne. The palate is generous and silky, showing the warmth of the year, but anchored by a firm mineral backbone typical of Morgeot’s clay-limestone soils. There’s both breadth and precision; succulent fruit, fine acidity, and a long, gently spicy finish. A Premier Cru that’s already approachable but has the structure to develop further complexity over the next decade. Domaine Ballot-Millot, now under the skilled stewardship of the 17th-generation vintner Charles Ballot, remains one of Meursault’s leading estates. Charles farms the vineyards organically, whilst in the cellar, he follows the lunar cycle, allowing nature's rhythms to guide his winemaking. His guiding principle is let the terroir do the talking, and the wines are always beautifully expressive and elegant.
Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Domaine de Montille 2023
"Big and bold, this wine showcases pineapple, honey, and a touch of cinnamon spice. With a 2007 vineyard replanting complementing 75-year-old vines, it is layered and textured with excellent acidity. Already approachable, it promises to deepen with age." Our note The 2023 vintage reflects a year of moderate warmth with consistent sunshine, leading to steady, well-paced ripening. Although temperatures weren’t extreme, the shift to warmer nights and milder days contributed to extended growing periods. This translated into wines that are strikingly fresh, with lower alcohol levels, vivid acidity, and vibrant character—brighter and more approachable compared to recent years. Whites carry their hallmark freshness and minerality, further underscored by the decision to reduce the percentage of new oak due to the larger volumes produced. The domaine features as one of the Top 10 Côte de Beaune Red Wine, and White Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2023 Special Report.
