When you see the price inflation (3-4x) on some of these bottles, I sometimes wonder if I should drink it or sell it! Well, drink it was, especially since it was my birthday! Have been drinking more BdB lately and had forgotten but appreciated the relative heft and fullness of this Pinot that still had a lot of finesse. A bit shy on opening, but came to about midway through the 9-course tasting menu. Good balance of fruit (some lemon, orchard fruit) and acidity with a decent finish.

I'm not much of a Champagne drinker, but I brought a bottle of this to Thanksgiving dinner with my wine group and we loved it! I wish I had bought more!

Pour le 60e de mon frère.
Attaque fraiche et fruitée, très belle ampleur en bouche, avec une longue finale crayeuse et précise. Un délice! 93-94 pts

No note made, but yum! This showed very well already, probably like it more than the 2016's I had last year. Very good wine.

BYOB dinner and then some; 2/1/2024-2/2/2024 (Avalon, Amsterdam): One of the last bottles of the night, did not get the attention it deserved. Very elegant with brioche, citrus, minerality, nectarine. Very long finish. Dogorgement april 2020
