• 2008 Vins Auvigue Mâcon-Solutre Solutré Rock 87 Points

  Lemon nose, a bit of vegetal development, interesting minerality.
  Lovely lemony fruit attack, soft with a dry finish, some oak later, pleasant length.

• 2008 Château de Beauregard (Joseph Burrier) Saint Véran Le Vernay 90 Points

  France, Burgundy, Mâconnais, Saint Véran

  Very mineral nose with the citrus quite acidic.
  Apple and lemon and grapefruit attack, very luscious, slightly oily in the mid palate, dry bitter finish, quite long. Drinking well now but would reward keeping a couple of years to integrate fully.

• 2008 Domaine Cordier Père et Fils Pouilly-Fuissé 85 Points

  France, Burgundy, Mâconnais, Pouilly-Fuissé

  Initially lots of oak swamps the nose, then come mineral, fruit and slightly waxy notes.
  Oaky fruit attack, smooth mid palate, citrus finish. Certainly far from ready, might improve after 4-5 years.

• 2007 Domaine Thibert Père et Fils Pouilly-Vinzelles Les Longeays 86 Points

  France, Burgundy, Mâconnais, Pouilly-Vinzelles

  Slightly muted nose, some mineral notes, fruit stones and flowers.
  Fruity, definitely ready to drink, slightn oak, just enough acidity, quite soft in the mid palate, not for keeping.

• 2007 Jacques Saumaize Pouilly-Fuissé La Roche 89 Points

  France, Burgundy, Mâconnais, Pouilly-Fuissé

  Pleasing nose, slight oak, white flowers and lemons with mineral notes.
  Fruity and refreshing, subtle oakiness, well balanced, some minerality, will get even better over the next 2-3 years

• 2007 Domaine Leflaive Mâcon-Verzé 87 Points

  A little oak, devlopment, minerality, stony, slightly oxidised - an interesting nose.
  Oaky fruit, slightly thin tasting but refreshing and at its peak.

• 2006 Daniel & Julien Barraud Pouilly-Fuissé Les Crays 90 Points

  A complex nose, oaky vanilla notes, some vegetal development and still some intense fruit notes.
  Sweet oaky mouth feel, great balance, a really classy wine that will keep.

• 2004 Jean-Jacques Vincent Pouilly-Fuissé Château de Fuissé Tête de Cru 91 Points

  France, Burgundy, Mâconnais, Pouilly-Fuissé

  A pleasant slightly oaky nose, quite a lot of mineral complexity, stony, vegetal development and some nuttiness.
  A hint of oak in the mouth with rich ness, creamy, oily,, nutty, loads of life beyond fruit.

• 2004 Domaine de la Bongran (Thevenet) Viré-Clessé Cuvée Tradition 90 Points

  France, Burgundy, Mâconnais, Viré-Clessé

  A very unusual vegetal nose, smoky, rich, savoury, unctuous, honey-sweet, extraordinary.
  Very mineral tasting, some oak, a sweetness hinting at fruit in the mid palate and a bitter finish.
