May 27, 2018 - The nose was a bit tart and acrid. On the palate, this was good, fine certainly but a bit muddled... eventually settling down nicely.

June 3, 2016 - Most tasters found this wine softer than the bottle we experienced – ours was nicely full with excellent Clos de Beze spice, and good weight & density to this very fine, graceful wine. Nicely sweet but still showing enough structure, and youthful fruit, to be very pleasant. The vintage gives it more breadth than vivacity, or compared to what one might often expect from the Joseph Drouhin style.

October 10, 2013 - Pretty red fruits but still a bit tight on the finish. A bit light in comparison with the gorgeous 59 belin but still pretty.
