2004 Grossot Corinne et Jean-Pierre Chablis

Pale lemon yellow colour. A little sea-shore, fresh-cut greenery and lemon on the nose. Lightweight but with clean, precise flavours and a sneaky late intensity – the finish falls-off quite quickly but this is a good value wine.

A cedary nose with hints of green pepper over a creamy depth. A sweeter palate with more forward tannin. Certainly an extra dimension here vs the villages Gevrey. Nicely interesting finish too.

A much more mineral nose, pure and precise. A step-up in concentration, nice acidity too. Lasts long on the palate. A very nice wine.

This vintage also contains young-vines from Les Malconsorts. The nose is not so deep, but has super width – very stylish. Sweet palate with lots of interest. The acidity is good, though there’s a slight grain to the tannin. Frankly this is a really excellent villages and a good showcase for the 2004 vintage.

100% new oak for the elevage. High-toned nose which mixes pineapple and pear fruit. The palate has less width than the previous Puligny, but shows a nice intensity and medium length. A very tasty and clean wine.

For his whites, Grégory is looking for a mineral style, and uses no battonage. 7 barrels were produced using about 20% new oak. There was a small fining, but no filtration. An open nose that is wide and interesting. Lovely wide expression of clean fruit on the palate. Interesting and long, fresh and tasty – a great start.

2004 Potel Nicolas Volnay Vieilles Vignes

An assemblage from 13 different parcels. Fresh and complex nose, despite being quite tight. On the palate, a sweet entry that’s wide and interesting. You notice the structure before the texture but then there’s a really defining extra edge of complexity in the mid-palate. It might not be the greatest VV cuvée from this house, but it’s very good.

2004 Vougeraie Beaune Blanc

A slightly diffuse nose. Good fat on the nicely sweet palate and well balanced to the acidity. This is a very nice wine which impresses as it moves from the mid-palate into the finish.

From 3 parcels of vines. Both depth and width on the nose, but just a little linear today, black edged fruit. Nice concentration. Some structure – the tannins have some grain. Clean, good concentration and deep but today tight in presentation.
