My top three
Stephen Brook
Jean-Claude Boisset, Les
Ursulines 2014 Grégory Patriat is the winemaker for the JC Boisset range – high-quality wines from purchased rather than estate-grown grapes. The minerality impressed me here, as you don’t expect much from a mere Bourgogne. It has complex aromas and an appealing raciness too. 92 Drink 2016-2017
Michel Bouzereau et Fils 2014
Bouzereau is a top producer of Meursault, so it’s no surprise his Bourgogne is a sophisticated wine. I like its smoky aromas, weight and body, and its long, complex finish. Not quite the grandeur of Meursualt, but close. 91 Drink 2016-2017
Clotilde Davenne 2015 This comes from Préhy, a village at the southern end of the Chablis appellation. The soil is chalky, as it should be, giving the wine an appealing raciness. It is surprisingly toasty for an unoaked wine. But for an accident of zoning, this wine might have been an AC Chablis. 91 Drink 2016-2019
