July 18, 2023 - Hint of reduction. Tight at open. Minerality. Very Chassagne. Copious Orchard fruit. Very Balanced. Room to grow. Tart citrus finish. Very nice.
December 17, 2022 - Bryant's Send Off Party (Noreetuh): Almost too ripe. In the face warm fruit. I did not stay long enough for this to open up. 90

December 19, 2020 - Showed really well tonight and a perfect pair with sole! Lots of citrus and orchard fruits on display, a pebble minerality notes on the nose, really generous fruit on the palate which I expect if from the vintage, nice acidity and a really persistent finish
August 20, 2020 - Keep for at least a few more years
June 7, 2020 - Delayed note; purchased for $80. Nose brings bursts of vivid pink roses. Truly remarkable floral and fruit balance on the palate, with waves of flavor and a long finish. A delightful experience.
November 24, 2019 - Jean-Pierre Reniard Burgundy Wine Seminar (Jade Palace Seafood Restaurant): Tasted in Riedel Burg glass.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, lemon colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of white peaches, nuts, honey oil. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of white peaches, citrus lemon, honey oil, light nuts. Long finish.
Very good quality. Comparing side by side in the same vintage against the Clos St. Marc, this definitely seems more linear and direct in its flavours, and doesn't have as much complexity. Otherwise quite reasonably good on its own and will age also, perhaps not as long as it already shows more development than the CSM at this time.
July 10, 2019 - Stone fruit, white fruit, and some tart citrus. Agree that it’s not necessarily tropical or sweet but almost borderline. Drinking well now.
February 25, 2019 - A little reduction on the nose. Deeply pitched yellow fruits and some white pepper. The fruits border on the tropical and candied. Plush stuff but with good electric minerality. I only had 3. I might drink the next 2 soon. This is wonderful wine.
July 31, 2018 - This is very good and nicely balanced; the nose shows ripe apple, baked lemon, peach and acacia blossom, just a hint of mineral and spice; the palate delivers rich fruit and yet has excellent verve and is never in danger of feeling fat; the finish lingers and makes you long for another sip. Delicious!
