  January 8, 2024 - Apparence rouge bourgogne dense avec reflets orangés trahissant l'âge.
  Nez sur le fruit très mûr, framboise.
  Bouche généreuse, un peu de chaleur, dessert à la framboise, les tanins sont toujours structurants, assez longue persistance.
  Cette bouteille a bien tenu la garde bien que la fenêtre se referme.

  October 7, 2020 - Entertaining the Judge (Wanaka Wedge House, Queensberry, Central Otago, New Zealand): last bottle, best bottle. Did not feel outclassed by the Calon Segur 2005 or Trimbach 2004 drunk earlier in the evening. Classy example of Central Otago PN, that offered a similar intensity and clarity of varietal expression that Calon Segur offered. While in maturity, the fruit quality is superb, and the winemaking is certainly refined. Nice sense of structure and focus. A touch of herbaceous, whole-bunch character adds interest.

  March 14, 2019 - Beautiful hue, candied central Pinot fruit, which is quite raspberry in style - intense, rooty, spice, wet stones and undergrowth - quite complex. Intense and balanced palate - sweet vanilla oak is countered by serious structure, highish alcohol, and a very focused acid core. Savoury and tight in style, but showing excellent typicity. Tannic finish that comes across a little hard. With air, the wine opens beautifully, and gains stature. This is not a simple wine, but it doesn’t feel particularly sophisticated, either. On the over the top side... (88-90 points)

  May 18, 2018 - Traditionnellement pour tout les vins issus de la cave de Champlain Charest. Merci M. Charest.
  Notes écrites 4 jours après dégustation.
  Ca pinote, sous-bois, animal, framboise.
  L'alcool perceptible trahit l'origine nouveau-monde
  Quelques notes d'élevage, noix. Bonne persistance.
