The World of Fine Wine<\/a>\u00a0(WFW) is an award-winning quarterly magazine, website and app for an international audience of discerning individuals with a passion for wine. Neil Beckett, key editor of the publication, visited our estate in November 2019. With Michael Baum and Emmanuel Sala, he tasted 2018 cuv\u00e9es in avant-premi\u00e8re. Here are his comments.<\/p>\n

Clos Marey-Monge Monopole 2018<\/em>: 92-93 points<\/strong><\/h5>\n

“After the individual parcels, culminating in the sublime 100% whole-bunch Simon, some of which will again be given individual expression, Emmanuel presented a representative blend as the flagship Clos Marey-Monge. Mid-ruby. Very naturally
expressive on the nose, an amalgam of dark but not black fruit, with a beguiling delicatesse and douceur. Medium-bodied, elegantly firm, fine-grained, gentl grippy. Still nascent and not the final blend, but very harmonious and highly promising.”<\/p>\n

Ladoix Premier Cru “Les Gr\u00e9chons” 2018<\/em>: 93 points<\/strong><\/h5>\n

“The passionate but sensitive winemaker, Emmanuel Sala, rates this site almost as highly as\u00a0the best premiers crus in Meursault or Puligny-<\/span>Montrachet, and this sensational wine makes a\u00a0<\/span>compelling case, as well as showing that Emmanuel <\/span>has as deft a touch with whites as with reds.\u00a0<\/span>Pale gold. Aromatically, this is rich and ripe, with\u00a0<\/span>an alluring gentle exoticism, but (harvested on\u00a0<\/span>September 7) there is no overripeness, and it even\u00a0<\/span>has an almost minty freshness. Excellent harmony, <\/span>magnificent scale, but enough intensity and mineral\u00a0<\/span>tension for it to hold its shape. The phenolics (there\u00a0<\/span>is very little d\u00e9bourbage, so some of the heavier lees\u00a0<\/span>are retained, though there is no b\u00e2tonnage) show in\u00a0<\/span>an enhancing light bitterness of flavor rather than in\u00a0<\/span>any roughness of texture. Well worth discovering.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Saint-Aubin Premier Cru “En Remilly” 2018<\/em>: 91 points<\/strong><\/h5>\n

“Sadly, there are only four pi\u00e8ces of this wine, but it is an excellent expression of one of the top vineyards in the village. Pale gold. Rich and ripe to
smell, but there is exciting purity, too. Concentrated and dense on the palate, but the light bitterness and nuttiness from the lees preclude overopulence.”<\/p>\n
