March 19, 2024 - Light red with faded outer third. Aromas dominated by green herb and menthol rather than fruit, a big shift from when this wine was young. Light weight and delicate in the mouth. Tart red fruit in balance with the greener components, excellent acidity and earth, quite saline, little residual tannin. I've followed this over 11 years, and while it was never the most exuberantly fruity vintage of this cuvée, it has followed a steady trajectory of letting the non-fruit elements come to the fore and display its "inner Gevrey" structure. It is fully mature now, a tad short of outstanding, but still has enough fruit to drink very pleasurably for another 5+ years. A wine that grew on me as we sat with it through dinner.
March 16, 2024 - Exactly as I expected, well made, very good dark red fruits with nice lively structure. Very nice village wine.
September 2, 2023 - Strict cranberry pinot, fine and fragrant, but a bit buttoned up
July 30, 2023 - 2/12, vg cork.
Pale/medium garnet core, pale garnet rim. Aromatic, strawberries, red cherries, florals, touch of soil and mineral. Medium bodied, pure red fruit, elegant with fine tannins, touch of soil and game, lovely vibrant acids, very good length harmonious finish. Excellent, drinking well
May 27, 2023 - Excellent! Beautiful balance. Classic burgundy. Pure and beautiful mixture of red fruit, acid and structure. Long finish. I can’t wait to get into the CsJ and Griotte.
April 23, 2023 - Maybe the best village Bourgogne I have tasted!
January 23, 2023 - Nose is beautiful and has complex notes of meat stock, freshly sliced pork roast, kimchi, french herbs in tomato sauce, sweet cherries, tea leaves and porchini mushrooms. The palate followes the nose in most ways and has high concentration and a long finish. This wine is in a perfect spot right now.
August 27, 2022 - I thought this was excellent tonight. So elegant and pretty, with lots of bright red fruit. Really great wine.
August 4, 2022 - Village Burgundy at 67PM (67 Pall Mall, London): Flamboyant, ripe, pure strawberry and red cherry fruit, florals. Medium bodied, pure red fruits, light creamy edge, fine tannins, deep on the mid-palate and vibrant acidity carries a very good length, harmonious finish. Singing tonight.
August 4, 2022 - Such a lovely village wine, now it’s got a lovely blend of cool fruit and some nice earthy maturity, well judged acidity and a long finish, it has the whole package and is drinking brilliantly, it doesn’t get much better at this level.
