Drank in Zalto Burg glass. Pop and pour. Deep and brooding. Big baked cherry and cabinet spice hits you in the face. Wow! Just spectacular. This vineyard is a sleeper as it abuts right next to Bonnes Mares. You can taste the pedigree. A wine that will reaffirm why Burgundy is the best. Thrilling bottle. In a great place right now, why wait any longer - ready to drink now.
Dark ruby. Complex, detailed, refined nose, roses, Turkish delight, cola, coniferous forest floor, even a tinge of wormwood. Breathes up nicely to reflect the nose but with a rather rustic edge, somewhat astringent tannins, almost a bit medicinal. Overall this is young but accessible and very intriguing, pleasure in an academic rather than hedonistic way, would be fascinating to revisit in 10 years (or even tomorrow, if my wife hadn’t glugged down the whole bottle…)

Bien trop jeune, anguleux et serré, mais à mon goût, bien trop boisé, absorbé par son élevage. Je ne retrouve pas le charme ni le velouté de l'appellation, le pinot (qq peu réducteur) est comme engoncé par la planche qui reste tenace jusqu'en finale où elle dépose encore ses arômes et une sensation asséchante. Peut-être que cela se fondera, car le vin ira loin, (2030+ ?), pas sûr pour autant. Pour l'heure, je ne suis pas fan...

Probably a bit young -- but certainly nice now. Serious notes -- sailed over so not the right match for our rabbit stewed in tomatoes carrots onions and green olives.

Alors que plusieurs 2013 de Ghislaine et Louis sont passablement ouverts, celui-ci fait exception. Joli nez se garrigue et de fraises. Bouche racée et puissante, des tanins mordants, un côté acidulé, très minéral, énergique, finale saline. Trop jeune, mais prometteur. Revoir en 2025. 91+ pts
