June 28, 2023 - not the most complex of wines but a pure and clean pinot noir - lovely

July 2, 2020 - There's nothing wrong with this wine, but it's pretty one note - tart cherry on the palate, and on the finish which then dissipates. This doesn't have the bigger fruit I'd expect of a 2009, and it never develops a lot of complexity. With time in a decanter the finish becomes very muddled and the finish becomes short. It'd be a fine village, but for a 1er I'd want more.

March 31, 2018 - This has come into its own. Red and sour cherries on the nose, with some spices including cumin. Lovely precise fruit and fresh acidity. Good structure. A bitter almond finish that detracts a little, but mostly a very pretty wine.

April 4, 2015 - Very tight on the nose upon opening. With time, the wine blossomed, but clearly needs a few years in the cellar. Nose of cherries, plums, spices. A long balanced experience on the palate. Not a masculine rendition of Gevrey; very sexy. Beautiful, will be even better in 2-3 years.
