6/23/2021 - MatthewF wrote: NRGorgeous aromatics. A mix of red and black plum flesh and skins, with crushed blackberry and some savory herbal tones too. The same fruits come through on the richly textured fruit on the palate. Great energy. A lengthy, vibrant finish. |

4/30/2021 - MatthewF wrote: NROpened, decanted for 2 hours and drank over another 2 or so. Very bright and aromatic. Lemon peel, crisp asian pear, a bit of lime, with fragrant white floral too. Finely crushed rock. Bright and energetic on the palate too. Tart lemon/lime custard, with intense minerality. A slight bit of light roasted nut. Long finish and super delicious. |

4/24/2021 - MatthewF wrote: NROpened, decanted to remove sediment, and immediately served. A seductive combination of red and black cherry with dense spice and mixed floral on the nose. Red and black cherry on the palate too. More giving right away than expected and the tannins have pretty much integrated here. Fruit forward and an almost plush texture, but with just enough backbone and freshness to carry it. Moderate plus finish. |

4/11/2021 - MatthewF wrote: NRDecanted for approximately 3 hours before serving. Seductive mix of fresh and dried red cherry and plum. Tobacco and cedar too. The same mix of fresh and dried fruit comes through in the palate. Good freshness throughout. Medium bodied palate and a medium finish. Very delicious now and I would say it is in its prime windows. |

4/9/2021 - MatthewF wrote: NRSuper fragrant. Ripe dark berry and cherry with fleshy black plum too. Lots of violet and some sandalwood too. Richly textured on the palate, but at the same time full of energy. Lovely spice on the lingering finish. Really delicious. |

3/28/2021 - MatthewF wrote: NRAnother of the stash of library release bottles direct from the domaine in 2012. Opened, but not decanted about two hours before drinking. Meaty, dark cherry dominates the aromatics with a healthy dose of star anise and clove too. Dark, fallen flower petals too. Ripe and fleshy dark cherry on the palate, but still a bit reserved with a mineral steak running through. Ground spice notes too with moderate plus finish. Overall very tasty and is evoking nicely. |

3/23/2021 - MatthewF wrote: NRAromatics of apple and asian pear with a bit of lemon peel as well. White floral and stone. Nice textures on the palate with the same orchard fruit coming through. Good mineral notes and all around pretty powerful. I’d personally like a bit more acid, but overall tasty. |

3/23/2021 - MatthewF wrote: NRWood spice seems to dominate the aromatics right now. Underneath there is some red cherry and dried florals. Palate is a bit coarse, but there is some fresh fruit and good spice. I’d be inclined to leave this in the cellar a bit longer and see what happens. |

3/23/2021 - MatthewF wrote: NRNose is full of ripe red cherry and raspberry. Macerated strawberries too. Richly textured palate, full of that same ripe fruit. Some mild spice peeks out, a bit of orange peel too, but it’s really covered by the massive fruit right now. Doesn’t scream terroir to me, but it’s still a nice glass of Pinot Noir. |

3/23/2021 - MatthewF wrote: NRReally bright fruit from the moment it was poured. Red cherry and some pomegranate too. A mix of red and purple florals too. The same bright cherry on the palate too with lots of energy throughout. A great savory quality to it. Burst of mineral on the finish. Really delicious wine. |

3/19/2021 - MatthewF wrote: NRIt’s been about five years since I last had this, so I figured it was time to revisit. Aromatics needed about 30 minutes to get going. Black cherry dominated with violets and whole brown spices (clove and star anise). Lots packed in there. Richly textured cherry on the palate, but still with great energy. Still youthful. Lengthy finish with a great burst of minerality. This is aging wonderfully and I’m already looking forward to the next bottle. |

3/12/2021 - MatthewF wrote: NROpened and enjoyed over 2 hours. Fragrant red raspberry and cherry with rose petals, black tea, and a tiny bit of orange rind too. Initially reserved on the palate, but started fleshing out after 30 minutes or so. The same cherry and berry on the palate with a wonderful lacy mineral quality. Wonderful freshness all throughout with a big burst of acidity on the finish. Delicious, but will try to wait a couple years before checking in again. |

3/6/2021 - MatthewF wrote: NRFirst time trying since release in 2016. Maturing nicely with aromas of baked lemon, toasted bread, ripe yellow peach, and crushed rocks too. Quite broad on the palate with lemon peel, yellow peach skins, and some raw doughy notes too. Lovely balance of fruit, mineral, and acid. As some others have noted, more towards its prime than expected, but still a very delicious bottle of Champagne. |

2/21/2021 - MatthewF wrote: NROpened and decanted about 2 hours before drinking. Beautiful aromatics of cherry, tobacco leaf, whole star anise, and leather too. The palate is still pretty firm, though kept fleshing out with air. Firm cherry on the palate with a great mineral steak running all throughout. Very fresh and vibrant with a long, gripping finish. Happy to have some in the cellar and looking forward to following these over the years. |

2009 Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les FuéesPinot Noir more |
2/14/2021 - MatthewF wrote: NRVery seductive aromatics. Meaty dark cherry with crushed clove and star anise, with a lot of deep floral. The aromatics and texture on the palate reminds me of a Domaine Leroy wine. Ripe fruit on the palate, and the ground spice is there too. There is a mineral vein running through it helping keep it bright. Perhaps a bit heavy and showing the 2009 vintage, but overall a very tasty bottle of wine. |

1/31/2021 - MatthewF wrote: NROpened 90 minutes before really digging in. Seductive aromatics of meaty black cherry, ground clove and star anise, with crushed violet petals too. Some damp leaf note starting to come out, but overall still a very fresh, young-ish wine aromatically. Richly textured palate with the same black cherry and spice all throughout. Tannins have melted away nicely. Probably already in, or entering it’s prime drinking window. Very, very delicious. |

1/23/2021 - MatthewF wrote: NRFrom a 375ml barrel sample that was shipped to the US from Jadot. Lemon peel and yellow apple notes on the nose. Some oyster shell too, but more about fruit than mineral. Textured palate with lemon curd and a bit of the oyster shell/mineral notes coming through. Tasty overall, but not a super racy Chablis. |

1/23/2021 - MatthewF wrote: NRFrom a 750ml barrel sample that was shipped to the US from Jadot. Both the nose and palate are dominated by lemon peel and crushed rock. A bit of white flower is there and some green apple too. A bit of lime peel seems to come and go. There is some richness to the fruit on the palate, but overall very mineral driven. So much energy here. |
