Goutte De Lune, “drop, or tear of the moon,” is a hefty Chablis at the top of the fruit chain. Substantial is the understatement, and still the structure stands up and carries the load. There seems to be no overstatement that can be made about such a wine, and one with the addendum of neither Premier, nor Grand Cru distinction. Just a name and simply Chablis, but the Mauperthuis is anything but. Drink 2026-2030. Tasted August 2026.

This is one of Mauperthuis's sharper and fresher Chablis I've had in recent times, fruit of the challenging, low-yielding, but ultimately fine 2024 Chablis vintage, a return to the cooler years of the 1990s and before. It pours a concerningly sustained straw colour, but picks up the freshness on the palate, remaining stony and contained, chalky and limey, with solid complexity and concentration in the end. Good length, too. Enjoy over the nearer term, now-2030 or so. Tasted August 2026.

About the Winery
Land of Hope
The Land of Hope Trust project started in 2007. Initiated against the background of many “smoke and mirrors” projects purporting to uplift Previously Disadvantaged Individuals (PDI), although very few of which seem to genuinely do so. The direct and sole beneficiaries of this Trust are the previously disadvantaged individual employees of Radford Dale and their children and dependents.
What makes this project unique? Well, the primary objective of the trust is educational. The long-term social upliftment through the gift of high quality education, skills development and the power of developing knowledge. The Trust is making it possible to send Land of Hope employees' children to schools they could only dream about when they were young, which they were not allowed to attend, and which will give the next generation the intellectual ability and the expertise to ensure the positive evolution of our economy their democracy and community.

About the Winery
Château de La Chaize
Château de La Chaize is among the oldest, most historic estates in Burgundy’s Beaujolais region. Cared for by the same family for nearly three and a half centuries, the estate has been passed on to new owners, the Gruy family, who are equally committed to managing the estate with the utmost care, while implementing an ambitious environmental plan. Among the many initiatives is the conversion of all vineyards to organic farming, the adoption of precision viticulture, reducing carbon their carbon footprint, and recycling every by-product from viti- and vinicultural activity, to achieve zero waste.
Founded in 1670 by the seneschal of Lyon François de la Chaize d’Aix, the main Château de la Chaize building and gardens were completed by Jules-Hardouin Mansart and André le Nôtre, respectively architect and gardener of the Château de Versailles. Château de la Chaize is among the oldest, most historic estates in Burgundy’s Beaujolais region. Boasting over 250 acres of vineyards, it is also one of the largest. It is today considered one of the most innovative estates in Burgundy. Among its forward- thinking practices is the adoption of eco-friendly farming techniques, commonly referred to as Agriculture Raisonnée. Chemical treatments have been reduced to a strict minimum, for example, and the growing of grass between rows has been re-introduced to enrich the soil and reduce erosion.

This Beaujolais estate also has vines in Pouilly-Fuissé to the north. The wine has good minerality as well as ripe apple and spice. Lightly wood aged, it is a rich, structured and fruity. Drink the wine from late 2020. - Roger Voss

About the Winery
Maison Arnaud Baillot
Arnaud Baillot is a young winemaker based in Beaune, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune. Owner and winemaker, he has been working with lutte raisonnée since 2014 and supplements his Domaine with judicious grape purchases.
As a winemaker, he is passionate about the diversity of wine profiles Burgundy has to offer. So he teams up with Laure Hudelot-Noellat, his wife and granddaughter from the eponymous Domaine, based in Chambolle-Musigny. Together, they produce a comprehensive range of wines, from regional appellation to Grand Cru. Arnaud is very keen to get the best out of every stage of the process, which means he selects the origin of his grapes with the utmost care. He oversees the entire winemaking process, carefully selects his barrels according to the nuances he wishes to bring (wood origin, cooper, toasting, grain, etc.) and finally applies his own ageing policy according to the cuvées... nothing is left to chance, because the treasures a terroir brings are to be earned!

More going here than I expected from 'basic' Bourgogne. This is a nicely balanced, fairly rich and complete chardonnay, with complex aromas of peach, sunflower seed, subtle sourdough and fine oak vanillin and brown spice. It is medium bodied, fairly cushy and soft, with very good flavour focus and intensity. A touch of C02 enlivens the palate. The length is excellent. Almost sumptuous. Tasted August 2026

Quite straightforward, unadorned and classic chardonnay in the softer and smooth, notably regional Beaune style. The work of Arnaud Baillot, along with his wife Laure, grand-daughter of the founder of Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat in Chambolle-Musigny. Drink 2026-2029. Tasted August 2026.

This is a fairly classic Beaune chardonnay, bracketed by toasted bread notes, whilst flavours of ripe orchard and citrus fruit sit in the centre. The palate is medium bodied and fleshy, with tart, lemony acidity. The length is very good, with a citrus and toast-infused finished. Clean, familiar, and well-made, this chardonnay is best enjoyed over the next 2-3 years. Tasted August 2026.

About the Winery
Domaine de Pellehaut
"Pellehaut" gets its name from the Roman or medieval word pila (meaning any kind of solid, pillar-like construction). The presence two kilometres away of mosaics decorated with vines at the Gallo-Roman site of Séviac bears witness to the fact that vines were already grown at Pellehaut in Roman times.
Pellehaut follows a traditional, low-intervention approach to winemaking, using native yeasts from its own vineyards and avoiding thermovinification in favor of cooler fermentation to preserve varietal aromas. After fermentation, the wines are either kept cool in stainless steel tanks or aged for up to two years in fine-grain oak barrels from the Allier forests. Though not part of a prestigious appellation, the estate takes pride in its diverse range of 16 wines, aiming to offer authentic expressions of Gascogne that inspire curiosity and pleasantly surprise wine enthusiasts.
