  Unfiltered, light color, Bret and garigue smell, elegant and fresh with acidity that does not show up so much in C9P. The nose is somehow earthy. This is not your typical C9P style. Very good for the price, and not bad at all for this bad vintage.

  Wijn was heel licht van kleur. Slecht of te lang bewaard. Had nog geen wijnkast. Gedronken met Papa bij Peggy thuis. niet goed

  Fruity nose with some freshness. Sweet and round on the palate with a rather alcoholic finish. Not bad effort given the vintage.

  Verticale Charvin
  Mon coup de cœur de la soirée et la plus grande surprise car trois dégustateurs l’ont placé premier (et non les moindres, hum ;-) )
  
  Le nez a un profil idéal à mon goût, soit des fraises des champs, de la garrigue, du kirsch, un petit coté foral charmeur.
  La texture aérienne montre un vin subtil et parfumé, au profil le plus bourguignon de la soirée. Il a encore quelques tanins en finale mais se boit tellement bien. J’ai adoré même si objectivement il a moins de coffre et de profondeur que les autres. Un vin presqu’insolent par sa volupté et son charme, qui défie les préjugés de millésimes et exprime son terroir de façon magnifique . 92-93+ pts
  J’ai cru au 2000 puis à un 2002 hors normes à cause de son coté plus léger. Je ne crois pas qu’ « objectivement » il mérite la plus haute note, mais ce fut ce soir là mon vin préféré du groupe, un poil devant le 2001.

  Yes, a bit light, but hey - great purity of fruit here AND it is still a young showing. Rayas-like finesse in the cherry fruit. Just yummy. Bravo Laurent!
