2024, Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot, MONTAGNY, 1er CruA luminous green edge to the colour. Rather a fine nose, very much Montagny in style, to some extent chiselled but with more than adequate flesh behind on the palate. White fruit with the extra tension, crunchy stones on the palate. Drink from 2027 2029. **** 90 Jasper Morris MW. Sleek and fresh with a streak of lime juice. Very long and throbbing with life. Not overpriced for the quality. 16. 5 Jancis Robinson.

Part of me doesn't mind whether this goes through malo or not

both fruity and mineral

Light on its feet and airy

lifted wonderfully by the delicate scent of wild roses

30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot

Also beautifully fluid and mineral but here there’s an extra visibility to the depth of flavour – discreet but present – the finish almost unending – that’s a beauty

pomegranate

the 2022 Pichon-Longueville Baron bursts with aromas of crème de cassis

Very enjoyable drinking

dense fully ripe berries

Lots of power here

Peonies and generous roses
