December 18, 2021 - Very open with inviting rose pedals on the nose and rosewater on the palate. A wine that is good now and should be even better in 5 years time but no crime in pulling a cork.
June 26, 2021 - Des notes de fruits rouges mais avec une bouche légèrement mince comparé le bonnes mares de Bruno Clair du même millésime. 92 sur 100.
March 5, 2019 - Soft, good ripeness albeit a 2008 but really a soft , gentle and elegant wine. Red fruited and less of that smoky intense we expected from a Gevrey Grand Cru, light spice, silky tannin and drinks very nicely now. Not sure it can ever justify ts price but that been said very few can in Burgundy these days. 91-92
August 11, 2018 - 2e souper à Hilltop (Lac Memphrémagog): Nez d'abricots (!), floral ensuite. Bouche ronde et sucrée, c’est fort agréable mais les gens étaient déçus au dévoilement, sans doute avec raison face aux attentes légitimes. Il n'y avait pas beaucoup de fond pour le cru, mais ça reste une bouteille agréable, qui fut simplement déclassée par les précédentes. 90 pts
March 4, 2018 - Au nez, des fruits rouges, des pétales de roses et une petite touche d'eau d'érable. En bouche, c'est frais mais sans avoir l'acidité parfois agaçante que l'on peut retrouver avec certains 2008. Sans être la plus profonde, cette bouche nous donne un beau plaisir et présente une belle classe qui donne envie de reprendre une gorgée...
March 3, 2018 - Very pretty wine, a light red with slight bricking. Nice nose, lovely palate with good balance and bright fruit with savory notes. Soft tannins. Clean finish, medium length. Still on the upswing I think, but well worth a visit right now.
May 2, 2017 - Pnp, medium ruby with an orange hue. Airy nose of bright red fruits, followed by oak. Plenty of acidity on palate, and oak spice, medium concentration, this is more about finesse then power. Hawthorn noted throughout, slightly disappointed.
January 4, 2017 - Pnp, bright red color yielding red currant/hawthorn aroma and hint of spice. Forward oak on palate but there is plenty of fruit acidity and sweetness to divert attention that made this wine very approachable now, tannin is soft and overall very seductive.
June 25, 2016 - HDH auction tasting at Tru; 6/24/2016-6/25/2016 (Chicago, IL): Heartbreakingly lovely. This is the kind of experience that will leave you like Gatsby standing on the pier staring at the green light. Super elegant and racy, with just amazingly pretty red fruit. I've worried a bit about the longevity of the 2008s because of the austerity, but this will almost certainly be an exception. So perfumed and bright, but there's great concentration here too. A touch short on the finish, but I'm giving a flyer on that given how amazing the nose and attack are.
April 29, 2016 - Wow ! Robe pale. Un parfum floral exquis. Rose, fruits rouge, épices. Un délice.
