2024 Hamelin, Chablis 1er Beauroy
From the Côte de Savant – planted in 1985 & 1987.
Very open aromatics – perfumed, with a small richness of citrus fruit. I remember this as more incisive at the domaine, but the richness of the nose is also bringing some generosity to the flavour. Yet, here is still a wine of salinity and energy – it’s also quite delicious !!
Rebuy – Yes

2024 J&J Archambaud, Vosne-Romanée
A domaine that I visited for the first time last week. 3 parcels assembled – Communes, Chalandins and Au Dessous de la Rivière – the oldest vines coming from the 1930s, Chalandins has the youngest vines, and these date from the 1990s…
Fine aromatic scale and lots of width to this aroma – stylishly spiced. A wine that’s fluid but also delivers impressive concentration – even ignoring that this is from 2024! Modest but attractive bitters in the finish and excellent texture too. An excellent villages !!
Rebuy – Yes
