Perfumed, mandarin orange nose. Medium bodied with medium+ acidity. Orange and ripe lemon. Very floral with nice acidity. Surprisingly dense and intense for a Pinot Grigio.

Big, ripe strawberry nose, pretty and high-toned. Light to medium bodied with low to medium acidity. Floral, strawberry palate, supple texture. Straightforward with no sharp edges but no flab either. What a nice village wine.
Nice dark cherry nose with a bit of potting soil and maybe a touch of brett. Light to medium bodied with medium acidity. Juicy, tart black cherry fruit, roses and a bit of orange. Doesn't say Pommard to me but nice enough.
Pretty ripe raspberry nose. Medium to full bodied with medium acidity. Mix of ripe and tart blackberry and black cherry fruit. Minerals and light tannin. Great intensity and weight. Drinking well now but seems likely to improve.
Reticent nose, bit of smoked meat and herbs. Medium bodied with medium acidity. Savory, green palate. Meat, iron and green peppercorn. Moderate tannins. This is rustic right now and showing its 100% whole cluster. Needs lots of time.
