Have bought en primeur in multiple vintages - this and Liger Belair Grand Chaillots - for relatively good value “everyday” drinking. From a well situated vineyard on edge of Gevrey Chambertin, this is a beautiful Pinot , not at the village level , but with pronounced red fruits, structure and aromatics. Little bit hot on the finish for my taste at 14% alcohol, but overall a lovely refined taster of the more grown up wines of the grower/region

This is improving with age - have case and second bottle better than first. Classic burgundy Pinot - clean fruit and full flavours , all perfectly balanced. Also without the hollow centre that some generic Bourgogne Rouge has. Lovely

First of a case. Nothing wrong but not good enough for the price (and I bought EP which is way cheaper than retail) . Good red fruits, minerality and tannin and so should age well so maybe too young. But for now lacking the earthy kick you get from quality Pinot, and to my taste not as good as generic burg from other fashionable names like Cathiard etc. let’s see
