  October 25, 2013 - Decent enough. Like most red burgundy I seem to drink under 250 dollars, not much that I can remember about it that was noteworthy.

  September 12, 2013 - Shared with Alex H over a teppanyaki meal at Hide Yamamoto. This was quite a bit better than I remembered it being when we tried it at the domaine in Burgundy. The nose was rather tight, with very cool dark cherry aromas, a hint of blackberries, with a little floral element and some smoke and spice. The palate was very enjoyable though, showing firm Marsannay structure without any hardness. In fact, it was almost elegant, with very fine tannins and well-integrated acidity winding their way through dark cherry and blackberry flavours, and into a juicy midpalate with some savoury, meaty inflections. The fine finish ended with long lick of mineral and a tiny hint of briar nestling amidst higher-toned red cherry notes. Very bright, very juicy, with lots of energy and purity, this could easily have been a 1er Cru. Quite a step up from the last bottle, which may have been served a bit cold in the dying months of autumn. This was rounder, softer, better integrated. Surprisingly good young, but it should improve over the midterm as well.

  April 14, 2013 - Pure fresh nose, with light rustic pinot flavors. Improved on day 2 where is really started to show some of its personally and terroir. Decent.

  October 27, 2012 - Burgundy 2012 Day 6: Celebratory Dinner (Maison de Lucien, Tailly): More backward than either the 2011 that we had in the domaine of the 2008 that we later drank in Paris, this was a decent wine, but rather too young to enjoy. The nose was expressive enough, showing strawberries and cream aromas sprinkled with some bramble and herbs. The palate was still very much marked by its structure though, with juicy acidity and firm tannins running a deep groove through fresh flavours of sweet cherries and strawberries with a slightly candied edge to them. The finish was still a bit tough, with some dried earth pulling away from the fruit on a bed of tannins. Not bad raw material, but this really needs time - one to try again in say 5-7 years.
