Domaine Billaud-Simon Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses 2021
The 2021 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet and perhaps is the most complete of the Grand Crus from the Domaine. The palate is well balanced with a touch more substance than Les Clos, fine acidity, quite taut and harmonious with good grip and energy on the finish. I can see this ageing nicely in bottle.Neal Martin, Vinous 92-94 Points AM 92

Domaine Henri Germain Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Morgeot Les Fairendes' 2018
'Pungent notes of petrol and resin add breadth to the very ripe aromas of both yellow and white orchard fruit citrus and floral-suffused nose that is also trimmed in just enough wood to merit mentioning. There is impressive volume to the muscular, powerful and tension-filled middle weight plus flavors that possess a highly textured, even mildly creamy, mouthfeel where the citrus-tinged acid spine maintains the balance.'Allen Meadows, Burghound
