This punches well above its humble designation w/ wonderful balance, purity & weightless elegance. Plenty of acidity & zip but also tranquil & elegant. Very pure mix of citrus and stone fruit on a nice mineral ride. 91+ Paid $23 drinks like $45+. Weightlessly fine & utterly delicious! 13% alc. Wines like this dispel the cliche that Burgundy is too expensive! There are lots of these under $30 gems to be had in Burgundy. Drank on a weeknight but worthy of Friday & Saturday night too.

Nose: Similar aromas to notes on 5/29/20. Palate: The acids are a bit more folded in with stone minerals, lemons, pears and a clean finish. This last bottle is still drinking fantastic. Still 90+ points.
Another fine representative of the ripe rich well fruited 2014 vintage. PnP in Riedel red Burg glasses tonight. Light gold. Bold spiced pear aromatics with some oak overtones. The palate is semi dense with more stone fruit, some citrus, mineral, salinity and more oak notes. Deliciously round if lacking a bit of finesse. Good energy, might prefer a little more lift and less weight. All in all quite good in the context of the riper 2014 vintage. This vintage reminds of PCYM in style and weight. Alc 13%

Similar experience as other reviewers. Holding up well. I'd recommend a brief decant.
