looks it’s age. Cork a quarter soaked. Cherry, slight oak, dried mixed fruit. Palette has integrated acid that lift the fairly monotone flavours. Good length, tannins very slightly tongue drying (in a good way), simple, not earth shattering but a value buy and light on its feet. Several years left.

Last of my 3 bottles and well worth the wait. Previously tried in 2016 & 2019 with disappointing results. Now, the acidity has calmed down and there is lovely bricking, a complex nose, softness and richness. I'd say it is at its peak at this time. Although I don't have anymore, I'm happy that I do have 2 bottles of the 1er Cru Aux Gravains from this producer to look forward to down the road.

A complete, elegant wine from one of the better recent years, a year with plenty of ripeness, but, in this time of global warming, would now be classified as a classic vintage, not a hot year.
Bright red with a darkish tinge. Fresh nose. Delicious palate featuring juicy red fruit with nice complexity due to the additional notes of dried red fruit, a savouriness and ferrous-like minerality. Absolutely gorgeous wine that screams Burgundy. Such a great balance between fruit that is perfectly ripen without a hint of overripeness and the brightness you expect from Burgundy, although the ripe fruit is more than sufficient to make it enjoyably on many levels, from cerebral to hedonistic.

Not a lot going on here. Maybe too old, likely it never had it. A
