Last and least good of the case of 12 I bought a couple years back. This has somewhat fallen off and become less and less good with cellaring, since the initial fruit that was present up on release has faded. Still, a really solid regional Bourgogne, that keeps delivering from vintage to vintage, and seems to follow the vintage pattern from much higher classified Burgundy’s every year. I will keep buying this stuff, at least until I stumble across a similar wine that are even more interesting/better, with an equal good qpr. However, this is not a wine for cellaring, but for immediate/early drinking.

A decent Bourgogne Rouge. Very nice as a house everyday red. Let it breath for a while, and it shows some really nice and fresh features and origin. Went great with chicken.

Another bottle of this cuvee. This one showed slightly better, with quite nice maturity and freshness, than the last specimen opened. Okay for what it is and for the buck.

Previous bottles have been better than this one. The wine is a bit thin and loosing the fruit, that made it quite enjoyable a year ago . Still, a decent (good) drinkable Bourgogne rouge, but nothing to save, finish the remaining bottles. The 2010 is better.
