Drank alongside a 2010 François Gaunoux Pommard 1er Cru Les Épenots. Paired with Venison Bourguignon. The Gaunoux was the dinner party favorite but this wine was still delicious and paired well with the meal. Earthy terroir with nice fruit, spice, and some mineral and salinity. Balanced.

Garnet brick color. Perfumed nose. Fading red fruit flavors with hints of black pepper and cinnamon. The acidity is still fairly pronounced, but the wine's fruit may not hold up for extended aging. Drink now and for the next 3-5 years.

Two years after the prior: this, our fourth bottle, was the best so far. Energetic forest floor. Just a bare hint of pleasant barnyard. Beautifully balanced and lively. Hint of saline. Highly enjoyable over three nights. We will try to hold off at least another two years before opening the last.

Delicate and pure PN aromas. Soft, elegant, intense and vigorous on the palate. Good acidity and structure. Will last for many years, I guess.
