France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru
Tasted next to the red Marechale 2020. This was more refined and elegant. Pretty closed at the moment. Medium intensity with orchard fruit, mirabelle plum, some oak spices. Medium+ acidity, medium+ finish
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru
Tasted next to the Marechale blanc 2020. This was a bit too big and ripe for my taste. The alcohol also shows. Medium intensity on the nose with herbs, red fruit, cherry. Medium+ acidity, medium tannins, medium+ finish
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
This bottle was amazing, just so fresh and energetic! Medium+ intensity on the nose with a lovely reductive note, great fruit, elegant use of oak. Medium+ acidity, long finish. My WOTN.
Fantastic bottle, this has aged superbly. No hurry to drink this
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru
Such an interesting and elegant nose! Medium+ intensity with betadine, iodine, mint, forest strawberry, sous bois. Medium+ acidity, medium tannins, long finish. Great bottle
Tasted next to Kei Shogai Gevrey ‘20 and Lachaux NSG Les Proces ‘16 and it might have suffered a bit from that comparison. A bit closed. Red fruit, earthiness, elegant. Medium+ acidity, medium tannins, medium+ finish
This showed beautifully and even developed in the glass. Strawberry, sweet spices, sous bois, hint of mushrooms. Medium+ acidity, medium tannins, medium+ finish. 91-92
This has aged gracefully and might even get a bit better if stored well

Medium+ intensity on the nose with more than its fair share of oak, popcorn, butter, cotton candy. Medium acidity, long finish.
Not my wine. Interesting to read critics call this refined, as I would consider its the opposite
