2016 Patrick Piuze Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru
93 points
Trade tasting, brief note. Fresher style than the Grande Vallée 2015 which preceded it, seamless and elegant, deep minerality, apple, needs time to develop its complexity.
White
2016 Domaine Tessier Bourgogne Champ Perrier France, Burgundy, Bourgogne
88 points
Trade tasting, brief note. From an individual parcel close to Puligny, in the commune of Meursault but outside the AOC. Not very expressive, well constructed, hints of butter and lemon zest, solid but a little bland.
White
2016 Domaine Tessier Meursault 1er Cru Le Poruzot-Dessus France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
92 points
Trade tasting, brief note. Bottled in March 2018. Elegant and seamless, beautiful minerality, lovely touch of salinity, grapefruit, very good depth and nuance. Needs a few years.

2015 Caroline Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs-Gain France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
91 points
Trade tasting, brief note. Completely different style from the wines from Tessier tasted before, much spicier and earthier, candied fruit, very good length. Young vines but has substance.
White
2015 Caroline Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
92 points
Trade tasting, brief note. More finesse than the Champ Gain which preceded it, even if there is quite a lot of oak, which is slightly resinous on the finish. Should come together beautifully in 2-3 years. Well made (by Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, Caroline's husband).

White
2014 Domaine Francois et Antoine Jobard Meursault 1er Cru Blagny France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru

Trade tasting, brief note. The nose displays a sweet meatiness, lemon zest, pine, firmly structured, not easy to assess, but right now I am not a fan.

Red
2016 Charles Van Canneyt Bourgogne France, Burgundy, Bourgogne
89 points
Trade tasting, brief note. Speciously attractive, clearly 100% destemmed, ripe fruit, hint of spice, very well made and easy to like, but 93 points from Decanter seems a bit generous.

90 points
Trade tasting, brief note. Beautifully pure and fruit-driven style, ripe but fresh red berry fruit, attractive hint of sweet oak, silky and with light tannins, good length. Quite delicious.

2016 Jean-Marc Millot Echezeaux France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
94 points
Trade tasting, brief note. From Echézeaux du Dessus, Les Poulaillères, and Clos St. Denis, 0.97ha in total. More masculine style than the Suchots, quite compact, muscular rather than curvy, relatively cool style, needs more time, firm but well integrated tannins, good length. Very good potential.

Trade tasting, brief note. Sweet fruit, slightly burnt character on the nose, hint of dryness in the tannins, slightly alcoholic finish. Feels unhinged. Lacks phenolic ripeness?

2014 Claude Dugat Bourgogne France, Burgundy, Bourgogne
89 points
Trade tasting, brief note. Quite a shift in style after the modern and polished wines from Millot and Duroche, much more rustic and tannic, firm and structured for a wine of this level.

Trade tasting, brief note. Fresher than the 2009, more elegant and not as concentrated, beautifully managed tannins, much more youthful than the 2009 (relatively speaking), carries its massive 15% ABV with grace.
