Regular price $139.98

91-94 Jasper Morris - A full lemon yellow. Clearly more fruit weight, between apple and plum, while retaining the fresh style of the vintage. There is a fresh almond note here, something slightly more waxy in texture, everything well in place, with good length as well. Young vines from 2017 are already showing real promise.

90-92 Vinous - The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Fairandes 1er Cru has a more aromatic bouquet than the Les Houillères, with touches of orange pith, French patisserie and almonds unfolding in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a slightly tangy opening. Not a deep or powerful Chassagne-Montrachet but there is plenty of flavour, even if other cuvées possess more in the way of mineralité. Enjoy this over the next decade.

91 Burghound - A markedly more floral-suffused nose, especially acacia and carnation, displays additional notes of petrol, white peach and zest. As one would reasonably expect, there is better volume and overall size to the delicious and sappy medium-bodied flavors that exhibit fine length but not necessarily better depth on the slightly more structured finale. This is very good but at present, it's not materially better than the Houillères. *Burghound Outstanding!*

Shipping Policy

Open tab

Unless your delivery address is on the West Coast, we strongly discourage you from selecting “Ground Service” as your shipping method. During the winter and summer months, weather conditions (temperature) and longer delivery times can often result in the spoilage of your order. It doesn’t make sense to invest in fine wines and then take the chance of ruining them due environmental factors during transit (faster and safer delivery generally isn’t much more expensive). We don’t make an additional profit on accelerated delivery, but we frequently recommend faster shipping options to our customers outside the West Coast.
You must be 21 years of age to order or receive alcoholic beverages. Any shipments containing alcoholic beverages are sent with an “Adult Signature Required” sticker, and the common carrier that delivers our merchandise is required to ask and check for identification upon delivery. This means that an adult will have to be present at the time of delivery. Please consider shipping to an office address.
During periods of extreme weather, we attempt to ship wines at the beginning of each week in order to get shipments to you before the weekend. This is because we have no control over the temperature conditions at our freight carriers’ warehouses. The result may be that your shipment doesn’t go out the day that you place an order.
We ship by Fedex or Fedex Ground. Our prices include packaging materials. Insurance may be available for an additional charge.
Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. will arrange for shipment on behalf of the buyer, to an address specified by the buyer, provided that Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. in its sole judgment believes that such shipment will not subject Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. to the risk of any sort of legal action or other harm. If a buyer lives in a state where the direct shipment of wine by Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. violates the law, we suggest that the buyer provide an alternative address in another state or have their wine shipped to a third-party storage facility in a direct shipping-friendly state.
Various states impose limitations on the quantity of alcoholic beverages that may be purchased and brought into their jurisdiction by a purchaser from another state without requiring the purchaser, a seller or shipper to possess certain licenses or permits. Vintage Wine Merchants, Inc. does not, as a condition of sale, assume any obligation nor bear any responsibility whatsoever for applying or obtaining any permits or licenses. Therefore, we recommend that you investigate the possibility of such limitations, and determine the manner in which alcoholic beverages shall be brought into your state from California, so as to comply with all of your state’s requirements.
Wine shipping rules in the United States are controlled by the state you live in. We do not ship wine to the following states at this time:
