Dark colored, earthy, rich flavors of dried dark cherries, plenty of acid, smooth finish, little tannins. Great with pork chop with cherry sauce, butternut squash and couscous.

I had this with my wife at a local restaurant that has an entry level WS seal of approval. Pretty nice selection with the expected 150% markup, this was a nice burgundy that I picked on the basis of vintage and the domaine. This slowly accruing kind of knowledge was augmented by my enjoyment of the wine. Crisp, tart cherry that is light and right on the tannins while leading with acidity.
89 because it was a terrific night with the right meal and the right companion. 88 for a well-balanced and ordinarily affordable wine that I'd buy time and again for table wine at home.

Lush, dark black cherry on the nose along with licorice, crushed red berries, light cedar and a graphite minerality. Tart cherry up front with substantial acid. A loamy, chalky note throughout, it displays a somewhat underbrush-laced array of cherries and hints of lavender. Powerful frame and dark fruit. Dry finish, but the acidity keeps the mouth watering. Nice but needs food.

Good example of the mineraliness of red burgundies. Dark stone fruit with a little pepper and a nice tin/mineral finish
