Wood is way too present with vanilla notes. Fruit is present but right now the wood is dominating.

This wine needs air to shine. Second day it had the pedigree to compete against some of the best 1st growths in burgundy. Reminded me of the style of chambolle from Arnoux Lachaux mixed with a dose of domaine des tours with that blood orange taste

Very good QPR…nose of citrus and sea breeze. Palate is ample and just well balanced… nothing sticks out. Refreshing and would go great with salads or seafood. I gave this an extra point just for its QPR attributes

Still some wood left to integrate but a good decant brings everything together nicely… a very good qpr at the time

wood still too pronounced. Enough fruit is present. Best to leave this alone for a while.

better on day 2. Still young to open without a proper decant

Keeps getting better. This bottle was impeccable. Hazelnuts, white flower, nice acidity.

ok but lacked any attractive qualities. Short aftertaste

alcohol was too pronounced... tasted more southern rhone than anything else. For the price many other better options

What a wonderful rendition of a pinot. Savoury, herbaceous, umami and spicy. Similar in style to domaine de l’arlot in burgundy or Domaine de la cote, kistler or littorai in the US

1/6/2024 - Hanibal Does not like this wine:

The small amount of sauvignon overloads all other smells in this wine. Tastes very generic with loads of grapefruit flavors that seem very artificial...

Very average… wine seemed to shut down after 30min in the glass but even before that it never really got its groove on. Red fruit but lacking any floral or aromatic attraction.

Out the gate the wine is not asleep… engaging and with air it took even bigger power. Very good length and likely to get better with time in bottle

Score is representative of current assessment on this wine but i believe in 5-7 years the rating could go a few points higher… at this point even with a decant the wood treatment is very obtrusive

This is the best QPR i have had so far this year, super dry with notes of citrus zest and a touch of petrol. Mouth watering to the nth degree. Long finale… delicious

Worth buying. Young but approchable if given 2-3 hour decant.

8/4/2023 - Hanibal wrote:

again this disturbing woody signature that shows up and the resulting bitterness on the finish. Not the length one expects from a Pucelles. For those who like big, oaky chardonnays. Lacks refinement..

Very good with lots of spices and concentration of red/black fruits. Claudie has a nice touch and uses wood just enough to give the wine a satin touch. Another 2017 red villages that is drinking very well now
