December 22, 2023 - Dîner de Noël des anciens C&S (Restaurant Bagatelle): Un nez exotique qui m’a fait hésiter vers l’Alsace, mais les amis m'ont ramené dans le droit chemin. La bouche est puissante large et profonde, avec une finale saline imposante, très longue. Beaucoup de vin! 94-95 pts
Un truc de fou: l'étiquette indique 2007 mais le bouchon 2006! :) Ce dernier fait foi. -

December 17, 2022 - Delicious nose of Japanese green tea and sea spray.
The mouth offers a magnificent touch, almost velvety like a Meursault can be, then we have all the freshness that comes in the background, a real sea breeze. The wine is saline and layered. The balance is masterful, it is dense and fresh at the same time, a natural presence emerges from the wine, very difficult to describe. Then we have a finely herbaceous side to open on a magnificent finish where the apricot dominates over a long length.
Great Silex.1 person found this helpful Comment -

June 11, 2021 - From magnum. Brought to dinner with friends. Clear pale yellow color. Beautiful nose of tangerine, jasmine, and sea spray. Palate is full of stone fruit with a citrus and mineral finish. Such a pleasure to drink by itself or with food. Simply delicious.
Note: Similar experience a couple of months ago with a 750ml.1 person found this helpful Comments (2) -

August 26, 2020 - Prosents and appealing tones with stone fruit, green spices, light perfume and wet forest with pronounced stone minerality that lies and fires up the aromas. Refined. Nice full-bodied wine with a lovely sjuicy mouthfeel of stone fruit and fabulous salt minerals. Good acidity with a little shivering fruit peel on a very good finish. Great wine! 93 points.
