Domaine De Chevalier Blanc, (Magnum) 2022
Domaine de Chevalier produces one of Bordeaux's most coveted white wines from their gravelly plateau in Pessac-Léognan. Among the most compelling in all Bordeaux. The 2022 shows the estate's mastery of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, fermented and aged in oak to create a wine of remarkable depth and longevity. The magnum format will reward patience - we'd suggest holding until at least 2028 to see this wine's full complexity emerge, though it's already drinking well for those who can't wait.
Meursault Premier Cru 'Les Charmes, Cuvée de Bahèzre de Lanlay', Hospices de Beaune 2023
Louis de Bahèzre de Lanlay, Inspector of telegraph lines, bequeathed his fortune to the Hospices de Beaune in 1884, thus enabling the construction of several care facilities. 1er Cru Vineyards: Les Charmes Dessus, Les Charmes Dessous The "Charmes" Climat is the most extensive in Meursault with approximately 31 hectares of production. This Cuvée is made in equal parts from the "Charmes du Dessus" and "du Dessous", facing East and on marly limestone. Together, these Climats produce a concentrated and harmonious wine, both bold and elegant, fleshy and opening up after five or six years. "The lees of this powerful Meursault Charmes had recently been stirred, so the wine is still hazy to look at. A really discerning classical nose, with Charmes style white fruit, then an exceptional opulence on the palate, some bacon fat in with the concentrated white flesh, yet a superb spicy balance at the finish. For those who like a full-bodied chardonnay, almost a classical old style Meursault, this is the one." Jasper Morris MW
