Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, December 8, 2015 - My first experience with this producer's wine.
The nose and finish are long and quite nice. Elegant, even. That is undeniable.
But. The palate was primarily notable for its overbearing acid, which threw the thing out of balance for me. Really quite surprisingly so given the vintage, which if anything tended to skew to the other direction.
Also, unless these vines are secretly from some 1er, this is overpriced for what is literally a negociant village wine.
I'm glad to have had the experience, but will not be returning to this producer.
