Clean! 2012 BBM is in a terrific place, all about richness and intensity with deep complex layers of butterscotch, spiced orchard fruit and candied white flowers laced with minerality. The palate is voluptuous with tremendous density and volume and a finish that keeps on going. Top notch white burg! — 4 months ago
Another beautiful 22. From the very first sip, you know you have something special in your glass. Live a first sip.
Viscous, lightly waxy & elegant. The entry glides over the palate. The fruits perfectly ripe. Meyer lemons, green apple, pineapple, kiwi, grapefruit, lime pulp, whipped cream, excellent saline notes, sea fossils, crumbed limestone, caramel, butterscotch candy notes, understated honeysuckle, mint hues, perfect white spice tones, yellow & white flowers, perfect acidity, very well balanced, toned softly, refined elegance with an amazing long finish that land on spice & minerality. — 7 months ago
Stripped down serious A game. Only for clinical tasters and WB fans. Wow. — a year ago
This is my first experience w/ this producer. Reading…a family Domaine that started farming in 49 and made their first wines in 1980 if my short-term memory still works. Built it into 11 Hectares, which is fairly big in Burgundy and certainly so for a family Domaine.
This is one of my favorite vineyards. Particularly fond of Hubert Lamy’s work in this vineyard. The exception was 23, which I felt was too lean. I don’t buy Lamy anymore as when I first started buying it, it was around $50. Now, $160 for their 22. I bought my last two bottles in 22.
This 23 was a much better value at $59.
The nose is bursting w/ expression. Green apple, lime pulp w/ rind, Meyer lemon to meringue pie, kiwi, white stone fruit-peaches/nectarines, pineapple, green melons, honeysuckle, notes of butterscotch, touch of dry to moist herbs, some fresh mint leaves, frothed cream, saline, dry chalky powder to bits, understated white spice, volcanic minerals, dry limestone, yellow lilies, blooming jasmine with greens.
The palate is ripe, lush & cool stream like. Green apple, lime pulp w/ rind, Meyer lemon to meringue pie, kiwi, grapefruit, white stone fruit-peaches/nectarines, pineapple, green melons, honeysuckle, notes of butterscotch, some caramel, touch of dry to moist herbs, some fresh mint leaves, dry stem/twig, frothed cream, saline, dry to slightly dry chalky powder, white spice w/ just a touch of palate heat, volcanic minerals, dry limestone marl to powder, yellow lilies, blooming jasmine with greens, excellent to near perfect acidity, well balanced-structured, mid tension with an elegant finish that lasts nearly two-minutes and lands on volcanics & chalk powder.
I bought more when I finished my notes. This will improve a point in the next 3-5 yrs. In today’s white burgundy world, this at $59 is kind of a steal. 23 whites shining & over 22, which I love as well. — a month ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2020 “Les Enseignères” pours a luminous, light straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with bright notes of apple, starfruit, lemon, a touch of almond, and limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium plus. Quite tasty in its relative youth. Drink now through 2035.  — 7 months ago
Earthy Pinot with forest floor notes and cherry or cranberry flavors. Nice balance. — 9 months ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of Top Gun. No formal notes because it’s a movie theater and we’re drinking out of paper cups. The 2018 is showing quite well with red berries, lovely florals and spice. I rarely drink the reds from Chassagne-Montrachet; perhaps I should consider it more often? Drink now through 2033+. — a month ago
