As readers will remember, this cuvée derives exclusively from Vincent's high-density plantings at 17,000 vines per hectare, located at the northern end of this large premier cru, where the soils are richer in active calcium and better adapted to Chardonnay; and they're farmed with high canopies and all the usual attention to detail that readers can expect at this address. Today, the wine is showing beautifully, unwinding in the glass (in fact, I followed an open bottle over two days while writing this review) with aromas of crisp stone fruit, pear, white flowers, freshly baked bread and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's seamless, pristinely balanced and intensely flavored, with terrific depth at the core, ripe but racy acids and a long, penetrating finish. Readers are advised to forget this tour de force in the cellar for at least two or three years to experience all its potential.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWilliam Kelley (RP) - 01\/25\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Jean-Marc Vincent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46432913227993,"sku":null,"price":144.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0446\/9132\/5092\/files\/jean-marc-vincent-santenay-blanc-1er-cru-22les-gravie-res-22-site.png?v=1740785806"},{"product_id":"2023-jean-marc-brocard-chablis-1er-cru-vaulorent","title":"2023 Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e France\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burgundy - Chablis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCépage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay (100%)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 750 ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRating(s)\u003c\/strong\u003e: NR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003ePale yellow in color with silvery highlights, this wine opens with notes of acacia blossom, reveals a heart of licorice, and finishes with a touch of candied lemon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWinemakers' Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean-Marc Brocard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47671509614809,"sku":null,"price":61.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0446\/9132\/5092\/files\/E420_2017NM_c_630a0731-3644-4990-81e1-fe58e2f0e807.png?v=1767427169"},{"product_id":"2022-domaine-larue-saint-aubin-1er-cru-les-murgers-des-dents-de-chien","title":"2022 Domaine Larue Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chien","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burgundy - Cote de Beaune\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCépage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay (100%)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 750 ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRating(s)\u003c\/strong\u003e: NR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eUnwinding in the glass with aromas of pear, citrus oil and green apple mingled with white flowers and wet stones, the 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chien is medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with lively acids, chalky extract and a seamless profile, concluding with a penetrating finish.
