This terroir is regarded as one of the best in Marsannay and is expected to become a premier cru soon. In the glass a beautiful shining ruby. The nose smells of cherry, blackberry, and raspberry, with a slight spicy flavor. Fresh and almost vibrant in the mouth, with a medium and round body, fine and elegant tannins. The acidity is pleasant and the finish is both clean and elegant. Another great Pataile wine, of an interesting vintage. It has the potential to evolve again in the years to come.

Medium to dark ruby colour. Floral notes, dark cherry, red berry fruit, blueberry, vanilla, coconut, and iron-like minerality, with medium acidity, slightly grainy but well integrated tannin, and great persistence. Creamy texture. The oak comes through at this young age. Riper and fuller than one would expect. Stood up to a rib-eye steak. More integrated on day two. Drink now if you enjoy the creamy oak, or hold and wait for the oak to subside.

Medium ruby appearance. What I thought was pronounced fresh blackcurrant/blueberry for me but closer to Decanter’s note of violet and strawberry once it had been open for a while. Some vanilla and cloves, leather and tobacco. Medium +, ripe tannins. High acidity. Medium alcohol and body. Medium flavour intensity - blackcurrant, cloves, tobacco/leather.
I enjoyed this a lot. Very drinkable. Could age more.

The right kind of red for an outdoor summer meal. Medium bodied, with slightly tart red fruit, veering towards bitterness. A touch of barnyard funk but not too distracting. Less concentrated than I would prefer. Should hold at this point for a number of years but I wouldn't anticipate much more development.

Creamy cherry, blueberry, wood, spices, coconut and vanilla, with medium-level acidity, grainy but integrated tannin, and good length. Shows much more oak than I was prepared to encounter. And yet, it is balanced in its own, modernist way. And intriguingly creamy… By day two, the tannin is smoother and the oak is integrated a little better. One of very few wines I like better from Zalto Denk'Art Burgundy glasses than from Riedel Sommelier Burgundy glasses as the Denk'Art glasses see to tame the oak and emphasize the fruit in this wine. I will hold for eight to ten years, but I can see people liking the wine now for its new oak style.

Macerated strawberry, cherry, wild blueberry, dark chocolate, beets, pine forest, mint, lemon oil, a touch of black pepper... Super juicy on the palate, this just bursts with ripe succulent fruit, perfectly tart, nice airy spice and flowers come through on the mid-palate, texture is gorgeous thick silk. Intense pure fruit and beautiful foresty and stony nuance through the finish. Love this style. It will surely develop positively for a decade, maybe much longer.

What a banger! Took a couple hours to reveal its natural side of winemaking but such an easy drinking beautiful drop! Cherries and red fruits with tannins not overpowering despite its young age. Delicious!

Ganz hervorragender, sehr ausgeglichener Burgunder. Noch eine etwas pfeffrige Note. Kommt nach 1-2 Jahren Lagerung an die großen Gevrey Chambertin sehr sicher ran - wenn er diese nicht sogar rechts überholt.

Decanted and consumed over two hours. Aromas/flavors of dark red fruits, plum, and earth. Slightest bit of harsh minerality due to youth. Drinkable now, but too young to be enjoyable. Moderate complexity/finish. Revisit in 2025. 91-93.

Burgundy tasting (Oinoscent): The wine shows high intensity in the nose, ripe cherry and strawberry, earthy and spicy with some gamey notes too. In the palate, the wine shows beautiful full ripe red fruit, cherries, strawberries, nice tannins and acidity, a few gamey notes, savoury altogether with medium to long finish. Beautiful

Ready to enjoy now, but probably better in a year or two. Violet, baking spice and cherry on the nose. Taste of small dark berries & crunchy red fruit and mineral. Accessible fresh tannin.

Wow, this wine lived up to the hype. Truly phenomenal and a bargain at $55 for Burgundy.

Light, fruity, some slightly firm tannins. Probably better in 5 years A little bit of Marsannay chunkiness in the finish .

Freshness, bitterness, good acidity, 2018 handled well here, very good length and a sound fruit; a luncheon wine de luxe.

Black pepper on the nose and some black currant. Very tight nose even after 2 hrs decanted.
Beautiful medium body, fantastic acidity and finish that felt like it would never end. Phenomenal for the price.
