2021 Marchand & Tawse / Pascal Marchand Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Champeaux
5/23/2024 - blacktruffle Likes this wine: 94 Points
Nice density of fruit, cherries, strawberries and a very enticing 2021 spice that reminds me of fresh black amber plums. Light oak and just right tannins, this is very approachable and enjoyable. I followed this wine over 4 days. The wine put on weight and gained in density with time and tasted even better. Bought more. 591 bottles produced. Wax capsules starting in 2021.

2014 Paul Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets
5/16/2024 - blacktruffle Likes this wine: 94 Points
Very young and tight on day one with piercing acidity. On day four, this has expanded a bit to show intense Meyer lemons, white fruits, and oak. The oak tannins impart a bitter taste, but the fruit behind is gorgeous. 95+ potential when this integrates its oak and expands in 4-6 years. Hands off in the meantime. I will buy more if I find any bottles.

2022 Domaine Henri Boillot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles
4/26/2024 - blacktruffle Likes this wine: 96 Points
The Pucelles is subtle and elegant compared to the Clos de la Mouchère, the oak not as obvious. The citrus and white fruits are long and focused and linger and never quit. The salinity adds an extra dimension that amplifies the texture and wraps the flavors. beauty and recommended. 96+
