The 2022 Champelots shows an attractive spice note to the ripe apricot and citrus fruit with hints of butter and white flowers. There is a pleasant richness?Colin notes that this is 'in the style of Chatenière and En Remilly'. The domaine owns 0.66 hectares here high on the southwest-facing slope overlooking the village of Gamay. The site is always picked late and the grapes are pressed as whole clusters before fermenting with most of their lees in cask (25% new). This wine has been racked into tank but will be returned to barrel for another winter of ageing. (Drink between 2025 - 2045)
Wine Advocate: 90-92 Points
The 2022 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Champlots is bright and mineral exhibiting aromas of pear white flowers green apple lemon oil and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied taut and chalky with lively acids and a saline finish it's a strong effort.
Jasper Morris: 88-91 Points
Very pale in colour and undemonstrative on the nose. There is time for that to come. Substantial energy towards the back of the palate clean white fruit with a citrus not at the back good length more on stones than flesh.
Burghound: 90 Points
Prominent smoke and petrol characters partially mask the underlying fruit that is also trimmed in discreet wood influence though I suspect that the smoky aspect will slowly recede with bottle age. The rich punchy and solidly voluminous flavors are at once caressing but sleek all wrapped in a powerful vibrant and lingering finish. This needs to add depth but a few years of keeping should be helpful all around. (Drink starting 2028).
