  This bottle showed even better than the first. Similar profile, but seemed even more settled than the prior one. Really silky texture here.

  I agree with what have been said below. The style is fairly modern and accessible, but I reckon the grapes have been destemmed. The style is almost as if Méo-Camuzet made a Spätburgunder in Baden.
  
  It’s such a crushable wine though, offering luscious sweet strawberry and cherry on both palate and nose, a refreshing acidity, and not much in terms of dry extract. I struggle slightly with recognising its 1er Cru status, and currently it isn’t much better than the Clos du Meix Garnier. I do, however, estimate that this will be great in 4-7 years time, when it has evolved a bit.
  
  For the money it’s still a good value with modern burgundy prices, and I don’t regret having another 2 bottles in stock.

  Pretty stereotypical modern destemmed burgundy notes... I think I'm getting bored by these flavors.

  Red fruit dominated with a underlying minerality. Approachable now, but there is an underlying structure to support aging. Really lovely.

  Night 1 I was underwhelmed by this, however a night of air did wonders and it showed very well on day 2. Crunchy red fruits with floral notes, orange peel, and maybe a hint of mineral. The palate has much more freshness and vibrancy with a lovely mineral hint. Really tasty. If you open now; give it a long decant; otherwise let it rest a few years.
