This showed refined/elegant for de Courcel, but think that was a function of being next to the rustic Gaunoux. Black cherry and cocoa, a bit of tannin yet rather lush on palate. Some others liked slightly more. B+/B

Sad to say this was an unusual bottle unlike all the others I have had from this case. It never opened up and evolved into a chemistry mistake. Did not expect this, but it does happen from time to time. All my other bottles I would have rated this wine a solid 92 points!

Beautiful youthful appearance, accessible bouquet of rose petals, red fruits and some earthy spice. After 30 minutes all I wanted to do was stick my nose in the glass. Med weight with nice balance, layers of red fruits including distinctly strawberry notes after an hour. All framed with engaging tannins and acidity showing its cote de beaune roots, nice finish. This is really firing on all cylinders.
