  2021 Burgundies: Côte de Nuits reds and Côte de Beaune whites: mid-yellow colour. clean nose of pear, fresh peach, delicate white blossoms, beeswax, and a note of oak. of silky texture, a mineral vein leads to subtle but growing fruit flavours deftly lifted by a pleasant acidity. some accents come into display and tend to be herbal and spicy rather than nutty. elegant, balanced and long.
  
  needs a couple to a handful of years and should age beautifully.
  
  13.5% AbV; from a large monopole vineyard heavily affected by the frost; vines are ~80y.o.; 25% of the wine sees new oak, and the remainder second-use barrels, all 350L.

  Great stuff here, changes in the glass with air. On opening, more lemon oil, orange flesh, pineapple...more unctuous. When the air comes through, it drops out some of the richness. Some green apple comes in, with Brig suggesting some bruised apple. For me, with what seems like some new barrel influence, caramel apple is what I get. Finishes with some lemon pith. Showy, flashy at this young stage.

  Nice nose of citrus, smoke, herbe coupée, loads of citrus, mineral quite long aftertaste, very chalky, hint of green.

  Forward nose of white flower and brown sugar. Clean, fragrant and nuanced with high toned floral notes, honey, stones, and citrus instead of the typical orchard profile. Nose is captivating and delicate with deep soul, hard to put down. Palate certainly leaner for this bottling but focused, serious, and long. A good expression. Took 3/4 hours to come into its own.

  Puissance, virilité mais délicatesse. Réglisse, et bel encadrement avec l'acidité.
