Lots of ripe red cherry with good concentration for its level, but it is clearly simple in character, so coming across as certainly yummy, but not particularly complex.

Boy is this fabulous. I seek out this bottling every year, because its one of the last burgundies made in the Jayer style and it punches way, way above its weight; this year is no exception. In the exceedingly capable hands of this producer the 2019 ripeness is tamed; the wine is balanced and fresh and red fruited. Silky tannin, just the right amount of oak for the fruit. Funny how a skilled winemaker can make a fresh, silky wine in a ripe year without stemming the shit out of it! This is what burgundy used to taste like in 1999 and 2002, and it's worth every penny.

Open-knit and silky, this punches above its weight. Very attractive Bourgogne with the potential for mid-term aging. Not sure it's worth the price, though, which has become pretty severe for the level.

beautiful vibrant magenta color, this was pretty and friendly. For a bourgogne rouge, quite delicate with some light florals and faint spice. It is elegant in body again for the appelation, but I was looking for a little more spice and heft.

Good for a bourgogne but extremely overpriced for what it is. The 19 Gevrey is a big step up.
