Rich and opulent nose with ripe fruits, honey and oak clearly apparent. Full bodied, rich but also very well balanced with tonic energy and very good length. This is a wine that would put many Charlemagne to shame.

Wine gathering at RJ's; 4/4/2023-4/7/2023 (South Carolina): Expressive nose displaying concentrated ripe succulent yellow fruit, lemon curd, yellow peach, tangerine, orange rind, subtle butter scotch, oak/vanilla and mineral. Excellent concentration, generous rich succulent yellow fruit, rich and opulent but also showing good balance, bright acidity, strong mineral and a long succulent yellow fruit driven finish with a hint of butter scotch at the end. This is a big scale ripe Burgundy that clearly expressive the vintage and terroir typicity.

One of my fave Burgs. Fat & unctuous mouth feel. Complex nose of usual alcohol and oak with hint of lemon. This carries over into long lasting buttery taste which develops over an hour or two and at a cool, not cold, temperature. Bought as much as I can find!!

Good but not stellar. Had that special honeyed/wavy texture that I think makes this a good winter white. Round with lots of depth and body but not heavy.
I would probably hold the next couple of bottles till 2023
