  With a couple of more years, this is maturing nicely. Has more mineral and earthy tones now still with a nice crushed strawberry fruit center to it. Good length and body throughout. This is an excellent buy from a "not just blanc" producer, IMO.

  Wow: cette bouteille était 2 coches au-dessus de la dernière car on y trouvait davantage de profondeur. Un peu fermé à l'ouverture, il prend de l'ampleur après une quinzaine de minutes. Du fruit foncé, un équilibre à point. Aucune note de verdure malgré le millésime, un grand vin, et encore davantage pour l'appellation, rien de moins!

  Très bon. Nez sur le cassis, en bouche c'est finement acidulé mais équilibré, toujours un plaisir à boire ce vin.

  Open the last night. Translucent ruby-cherry color. Nose now emerging with nice cherry fruit. Earthy, Dusty fruit in the mouth, this is not showing a great deal but still quite competent. On the rustic side of the spectrum. This could go on for a fair bit of time, but drinking well now. Still, on the rustic side. 4-12-15-8: 89/100

  Quite a nice deep ripe, red, ruby color. Very solid. Great legs. Nose is great, with red berries, and a candied quality. This is quite pure. Very gentle in the mouth, silky and graceful, with dusty earth coming through in the finish. This has no hard edges, but still retains tannin sufficient to keep it aging for a few years to come. Unmistakably Burgundy, and a good one at that. 5-11-16-8: 90/100.
