Harry Isles: Lovely clean golden lemon in the glass. Nose has an intense mineral quality of wet stones, flint and burnt matchstick. Mixed orchid fruits, with white stone fruits and fragrant lemon myrtle. Mouthful is rich, acidity is lovely and as it warmed up it became more aromatic and a more enjoyable drink. I was shocked how the length kept going for a Bourgogne but this is a true testimony to the brilliance of Jean Chartron. Could use a few months to settle down, which is perfect for the summer break.

Reviews

Darren Harris

Mineral and deep with stonefruit and citrus and spicy back notes. There’s palate weight and intensity you don’t expect at this level. No doubt the old vines contribute significantly. The wine finishes with the acidity and drive you’d expect from a wine from Puligny. Serious Bourgogne from an excellent maker.

John Gilman "View from the Cellar"

The 2018 Bourgogne blanc from Jean-Michel Chartron had bounced back nicely from its bottling at the end of August and was showing quite nicely in November. All of the vines for this wine are in Puligny-Montrachet. The bouquet offers up a lovely blend of pear, lemon, chalky soiltones, a touch of beeswax and a very discreet base of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, long and bouncy, with good grip and length on the still nicely reserved finish. A good example. 2020-2030+.

Wine Advocate - William Kelley

The 2018 Bourgogne Chardonnay Vieilles Vignes offers up a generous bouquet of buttered orchard fruit and wheat toast, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and generous palate. Open and charming but nicely balanced, this will drink well young. Drink 2020-2024.
