A report on an earlier tasting of these and some other white wines is here.

2022 Mercurey  Cos Rochette 

Monopole, 5 ha. Mineral, a bit hard here, but also crystalline. Needs a year or two but should come around. Tasted from bottle. 88+/B+

2022 Ladoix  Les Marnes Blanches

Faces north, pure, mineral, deep, cooler fruit, lots energy. (90-92)

2022 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet

Floral, deep, round nose; round, ripe but not overripe in mouth, long, rich, energetic, deep. Elegant. Very long finish. Planted 1988.  (95-97)

2022 Bâtard-Montrachet

This wine comes from a single parcel, beginning with Bienvenues and then extending up. More breadth than Bienvenues, more substance, but less elegance. Still a power/elegance combination. (94-96)

2022 Corton-Charlemagne

Tremendous energy in the nose and mouth, mineral, depth, tension but also ripeness, richness, great length in mouth. A huge success. (97-99)
