The wine shows med to high intensity in the nose. The wine shows freshness, ripe red and blue berry, floral notes, the wine shows some almond notes.

In the nose, the wine shows bitter notes, ripe blue berry fruit notes, tannins are there, med to high acidity, mineral notes. The wine shows a rather unpleasant herbal note and that plastic note too. With time you get thyme and a more dried Mediterranean herb note. Quite fullishly called this village Bourgogne, should have paid more attention to the Brouilly/Cote de Brouilly immense acidity
The wine shows med intensity, ripe kirsch and blue berry notes, feels like a more concentrated version of the previous wine (2022 Cote de Brouilly). The wine shows ripeness, red notes, floral notes, some varnish notes, the oak is a bit more upfront, a bit more polished (or at least tries to be), quite tight though. In the palate, the wine follows the pattern of the nose but if feels more open. The tannins are more but also polished and plush, velvety. The acidity is high. The oak is again more upfront, cuts a bit short though -/- Called this 1er cru Burgundy, not a madly bad call. Warmth well hidden (14.50%)

The wine shows med to high intensity in the nose. The wine shows freshness, green profile, citrus notes, lime notes, the wine shows some plastic notes, some tropical fruit notes. The wine shows some candied notes, lemon notes, pear drops and green apple notes, some kiwi notes. In the palate, the wine shows some co2 at the tip, the wine shows low to med acidity, again green profile, very light on its feet.
