March 21, 2024 - Half 10/12. Duller in the glass than previously, still mid to full ruby but a dullness and lacklustre appearance. A melange of deep cherry fruit with damp earth and meatier notes starting to develop. Densely silky, good fruit, and more of a discernible Gevrey than producer character, though a sense of vigneron lingers. This is really very good village wine. ****
November 25, 2023 - Pnp, earth, red fruits, cool blue fruits, forest floor, some blue fruits after a few hours, juicy, tannins still obvious. Good village and still primary and youthful
November 10, 2023 - From half bottle. Young and juicy 2009 and albeit a touch one dimensional at this stage it was also exceptionally delicious .Polished , well round and silky. A bit too fruity ( in a non confectionery way of course) at this stage and this would be so good once a secondary side develops! 91 ish for now
September 15, 2023 - So good last week, we had to have another bottle, and it was fantastic again. Sap, undergrowth, bruised strawberry-like fruit - lots of layers going on and on.
September 2, 2023 - Now this is more like it. Next to the 2010, so much broader, deeper and sweeter, red fruits and sap - delicious
February 26, 2023 - Mid red. Very round and gentle. At present a bit one dimensional but the fruit is pleasant but another 10+ years and should develop very well as everything seems balanced and in the right place.
August 28, 2022 - 4/12, good cork.
Pale/med garnet core, wide pale garnet rim.Lovely pure strawberry fruit, aromatic, florals, touch of vanilla. Medium bodied, elegant and pure, strawberry, red cherry, vanila, slight touch of game, soft tannins, lovely vibrant acids somewhat in defiance of the vintage, good length, harmonious finish. Lovely.
August 4, 2022 - Jason’s ‘top’ village Burgundy (67 Pall Mall, London): This needed a shake as too much CO2 which resulted in a pop, job done! Red fruited on the nose and came over as rich yet it remained graceful, really good concentration and purity. In a good spot. From Zalto Burgundy.
August 4, 2022 - Jason's 'top' village Burgundy (67 Pall Mall): Some volatility, real lift and some tempting gamey notes - very grown-up and appealing. Lip-smacking on the palate, with bright grippy fruit, good acidity and a long finish. Not very 2009, but in a good way.
August 4, 2022 - Jason’s ‘top’ village Burgundy (67 Pall Mall): Trademark pre-shake spritz. Reductive, ‘oaky’ nose that the half bottle version has started to lose. This remains a lovely bottle. Still more Fourrier than Gevrey, but with a Gevrey character and weight. A slight earthiness with real density of fruit coming through. Lovely stuff. Just a little more bass. ****
