although it is a 2010, it still needs some air. But once opened, it is just amazingly rich, powerful, round and long in mouth. Splendid

2023 is by no way the ultimate date to drink and enjoy this most enjoyable white Burgondy which is likely to stay at full maturity for another couple of years

Patience needed. Tanins still very present. But the potential is definitely there. Will be very enjoyable in 5 years

Time to drink it

1/11/2022 - yourcenar Likes this wine:

very powerful La Lagune (I took 2 last glasses 2 days after having opened the bottle and the wine has hardly evolved in two days decanting). Perhaps even too powerful. In anyc ase, absolutely no need to rush to drink it. It will certainly improve in the coming years

One of the best recent Lafon Rochet. Even if it deserves some more years in the cellar, it is already powerful, round, with lasting taste. Most enjoyable. At least 2 hours decanting

still a way to go before reaching the maturity of this 2000 wine. Fruits start to aappear after a long decanting but the obviously patience remains the best choice for this wine which is and remains a promissing one.

Opulent chambolle. 3 hours decanting. Round, harmonious, powerful. A real pleasure. Very much appreciated

No hurry to drink it and decanting go at least 2 hours recommended. Stylish, powerful, rich. Very classical and outstanding puligny

Somewhat disappointed by this Puligny. Quite neutral, without much character or complexity, short finish. Was expecting more

Less known than the red Fixin, the white one deserves more credit that is currently does receive. Deep, rich, opulent (particularly after at least one hour decanting) and at the same time elegant, it is most enjoyable and should remain so during quite a few years

Seems to be at peak already. I quite doubt it will remain drinkable until 2040.

Has reached its maturity. Rich, opulent but perhaps somewhat missing of character

absolutely superb but no hurry. improvement potential is still there. needs at least 3 hours decanting

just superb. Needs at least 2 hours decanting but the result if splendid. With two quite conflicting characteristics : deep and intense n the one hand and light and bright at the same time. Not sure one should further wait before drinking it. At maturity

great winner of the comparison during the same evening with the Lafleur Petrus 2005 and 2000. By far. Powerful, harmonious (although still very young), elegant, with a huge potential. Simply superb

3/21/2021 - yourcenar Likes this wine:

expected somewhat better from a Lafleur Petrus 2000 in magnum. Earth taste very present. note sure it will very much improve with time. Certainly not the best 2000 Pomerol

3/21/2021 - yourcenar Likes this wine:

still very 'green' and obviously needs some time in the cellar. But the wellknow features of LaDoucette are there

3/7/2021 - yourcenar Likes this wine:

Much too early to drink this wine today. Better to wait another 5 to 10 years. COuld then be quite impressive

collector1855 wrote with respect to this wine that it is a good table wine. I fully agree. Nothing unpleasant with this wine but relatively light and fade (even for a white Sancerre). And time will not hel, I'm afraid

1/9/2021 - yourcenar Likes this wine:

No rush to drink this powerful puligny which will only improve with a few more years in the cellar. If one drinks it now, it should be decanted for at least 2 hours. Powerful, mineral, at the same time harmonious

12/20/2020 - yourcenar Likes this wine:

no rush to drink it. A few years in cellar wil only improve its density. FOr the rime being, still needs at least 1 h decanting.

Opulent, deep, full of character, long in mouth, this trilogy wine prepared with the grapes that were deemed not good enough for Le Pin is most enjoyable and deserves much more interest that the limited one it has received so far. This is a remarkable and most enjoyable wine. Deserves 1 to 2 hours decanting

10/24/2020 - yourcenar Likes this wine:

I am quite a fan of Condrieu and this one wil certainly not change my view on those wines.
Balanced, ready to drink (but advisable to open the bottle at least one hour in advance), quite long taste in mouth, asbolutely enjoyable but perhaps a certain lack of character that makes it just misses the category of the best Condrieu wines.

Real dark red wine - already perfectly drinkable and very enjoyable but deserves still serious patience before reaching maturity - tanins still need to melt and the full character of the wine only starts appearing. This being said, this is already an impressive wine, long taste in mouth, quite fat (but this will probable evolve) - cassis and berries very present

5/24/2020 - yourcenar Does not like this wine:

this bottle was no longer drinkable
