Depuis que je le connais (pas si longtemps), c’est à mon avis le meilleur millésime de ce vin. Très généreux, avec une impressionnante plénitude en bouche qui tapisse toutes les papilles. Beaucoup d’arômes de fruits, avec peu de notes d’élevage, une super belle profondeur. Coup de coeur!

From vineyards planted between mid 70's and mid-90's and farmed biodynamically. Fermented in stainless steel. Aged for approximately 1½ years in 228-liter burgundy pièces (approx. 1/3 new). Tasted fully blind in a "Burgundy or not Burgundy?" tasting.
Luminous, fully translucent and beautifully ruby-red color with a slightly evolved pomegranate hue. Slightly restrained but attractively fine-tuned nose with aromas of ripe cranberries and red cherries, some understated smoky tones which can be either reduction or toasty oak, light savory wood tones, a little bit of gravelly minerality, a vanilla-driven hint of baking spices and a touch of brambly raspberry. The wine is ripe, firm and moderately acid-driven on the palate with bright flavors of ripe cranberries and brambly raspberries, some sanguine tones, a little bit of sweet, toasty oak spice, light stony mineral tones, a hint of sour cherry bitterness and a juicy touch of ripe dark fruits. The overall feel is harmonious and enjoyably structured, thanks to the precise, high acidity and the firm, gently grippy tannins. The finish is long and vibrant with flavors of ripe black cherries, crunchy cranberries, some savory wood spice, light gravelly mineral tones, a little bit of fresh redcurrants and a sweeter hint of toasty cocoa dust oak.
A ripe but also enjoyable firm, balanced and structured young Burgundy. The overall feel is still a bit too young and slightly restrained, although the wine isn't noticeably closed in any way. The fruit department just feels like it is holding back a little and the toastier oak tones are slightly too much to the fore for my taste. However, the wine feels still very youthful, which promises volumes regarding the aging potential. Most likely the wine just needs another 10 years or more before it really starts to sing. The warm vintage shows in the sweeter and more darker-toned nuances in the fruit, but the overall feel is enjoyably fresh, crunchy and acid-driven, so there's nothing to complain here. Well, except for the price; at 70-75€ the wine feels a bit pricey for its quality.

Beautiful bouquet of ripe cherry, dried rose pedal, fresh earth, vanilla, damp slate. Beautiful ruby color, with a complex palate. Tart fruit, soft tannins and searing acidity. So much acid here, this wine has legs. Excited to check in again in a few more years and see where it’s at.

PNP. cork intact. color is ruby. nose has earthy cherry bright red fruits. swishing this shows serious acid and some tannin structure. on the palate this is super polished. this is a wine of delicacy for sure. i think that it will age well but will always be a delicate flower

NR as this may simply be too young to rate, but on the other hand I have had some CRAZY good 2015's and this wasn't, opened a little thin and closed, then on night three this has some brightish red fruit but not a ton of depth (like many '15's)... not a rebuy for me to be frank, tho this wine might end up in 15-20 years being awesome I'm going to be buying the stellar ones that are replete in the vintage

On the nose, fresh raspberries with morning dew, with a hint of forest floor
Cherries, plum on the palate with high acidity
Later in the night it’s completely earthy in a pleasant way, can’t help smelling the glass afterwards
