  From 75cl, good cork, decanted off powdery sediment 30 minutes. After 3 excellent/outstanding bottles (10.10.2018, 10.06.2020 and 30.07.2020) I suppose it was time for a disappointment and further proof that cork is not an appropriate closure for delicate wines. This had a whiff of freshly-unblocked sewer on opening, the texture was initially almost like a "natural" wine, with gentle CO2 and fecal notes. Lovers of Dujac take note. After an hour there was a charming scent of rose-petals(!), an over-ripe fruit-cordial mid-palate and a slightly sickly, red fruit compôte finish. No exotic Vosne spice, alas. 87-88P.

  Rich black and red berry throughout, not shy about expressing its ripeness, yet easily able to retain its style and balance. Very good weight for its level, drinking well now through 2029.

  From 75cl, perfect cork, decanted for slight powdery sediment. Even finer than the beautiful bottle tasted in June, this is a big, exotic, ripe, muscular, asian-spicy Burg, in gorgeous full early maturity. Amazing ripe acidity. Resonant, long finish. Gob-smackingly good for a „mere“ villages, this makes it into my personal hall of fame. 92P

  From 75cl, exquisite cork. Opened but not decanted 30 minutes, dramatic evolution over following hour in glass. Initially almost spritzy entry, with pin-prick acidity dancing between red and black fruit. Delicious, multi-dimensional mid-palate, still a bit closed and squeaky as noted on 10.10.2018, but developing in the right direction. An hour later it settled down into a soft, almost lush velvety smoothness. This strikes me as being about as good as villages Burgundy gets, still youthful and with perhaps a decade in store... I recommend P+P, but then taking time. Fine value at 40 EUR cellar door price. 90P
