2019 vintage. A rare chance to taste a 100% Sauvignon Gris, a variety that almost went extinct after phylloxera, but it's still present in Bordeaux and other regions, mainly as a blending grape. It is naturally low-yielding and matures early. Light golden colour. Intense perfume of fresh passion fruit and a hint of flowers. Round and ripe, with crisp exotic fruit and very good minty length. Great value and a very original Bordeaux. White Côtes de Bourg is already very rare, let alone a 100% Sauvignon Gris. — 5 years ago

Lovely and supple fruit. Grapey blackcurrant and some underbrush. Resolved oak. Very nice now- a little generic — 7 years ago

Very pure nose. A slightly sour note. Bright raspberrys and clear red fruit on the palate. Lean and taut. A lot of tension. Slightly clipped finish. I think needs air and time. — 9 years ago

Boom. Despite its youth still fairly impressive. Crazy funky danky. Dirty like a hot date. — 9 years ago

First experience with Launay-Horiot. While I've heard lots of good things about this rising star in Burgundy, the 15' Chaponnières was just underwhelming. Sure, there's balance and depth in the wine, but I expected a little more freshness and fineness from the domaine. Tasting notes from the professionals seem to indicate the prevalence of the vintage's warmth in this wine. Rich and earthy would best sum it up. Bouquet of cherry brandy, earth, mushroom, and graphite. The palate is muscular and smokey, balanced by well-judged acidity. Nice chalky tannins and finishes with a savory tang. A miss here for me especially for the price, but at least there wasn't any marmalade notes which I detest in Pino. Will seek out Xavier's wines again, but probably 16' onwards first. — 5 years ago

Perfumed with red roses, violets. Strawberry, pomegranates, slight cinnamon and anise. Delicate but with some backbone. Wish we had more bottles. — 7 years ago

Fruit, marcona almond, floral nose. Stylistically it’s bread-y. Brioche and unsweetened gingerbread on the palate. Good acidly up front and dry finish. 50/50 blend Chard and Pinot — 8 years ago

Violets but more airy than the Launay Horiot. Reductive and not much fruit showing through. Slightly candy, charming, more approachable than the one following it. Rather lean. Thought it was a 2007. — 7 years ago

Crazy good. More tannins than you'd expect, so deserves some time. Like a great light burgundy but with the chalkiness of champagne. — 10 years ago
