I seriously thought this was outstanding for the appellation. Nice balance right now, not really stemmy, no reduction, just beautiful fruit. The wine is singing right now. Loved this.

Swings well above its Bourgogne classification. Tight & restrained at first, this opened up beautifully once decanted over a 3hr dinner. Bright acidity, well structured, oak is at the early stages of becoming fully integrated. Clarity & concentration of fruit is at least 1er Cru level. Easily has another 10yrs+ ahead of it.

The cuvee that sees negociant grapes from Domaine de la Cras...still manages to punch above many grand cru bottlings from lesser producers. Reductive nose with some burgundy funk belies it's lowly designation of "bourgogne". There is absolutely nothing "bourgogne" about this. In the mouth, palate peaks in the mid palate, revealing just a slight jeweled red sweetness. Finish is a little bit on the shorter side. This cuvee is 25% whole cluster and sees 30% new oak so should last for a few years, unlike what it's designation would suggest

Even the humble Bourgogne from Cecile Tremblay had some proper oak treatment, spicy and fragrant wood toast. This 2017 is drinking well today, expressive crunchy red berries, juicy fresh fruits and oaky spices. A tad too heavy on the new oak treatment for my liking. (81/100)

Nice fruit but lacked persistence and amplitude
