Community Tasting Note

  June 21, 2020 - Bien. RQP discutable. J'ai acheté quelques bouteilles pour essayer suite aux bonnes critiques pro, CT et recommandations. Les comparaisons aux grands Bourgognes de Côte de Beaune me semblent ambitieuses. Peut-être est-ce le millésime ou la jeunesse? Nez agréable de fruits exotiques, noix de coco et vanille. On retrouve ces saveurs en bouche mais plus subtiles sous une trame plus acidulée (agrumes, zeste) et minérale. Mais ça reste assez gras et on sent l'élevage. Longueur acceptable. C'est assez agréable, mérite un peu d'air et peut s'accorder avec des mets qui supportent l'élevage pour le moment. On va laisser les autres se reposer. Prochaine dans 2-3 ans.

  6/22/20, 6:06 PM - Phil, I was fortunate to visit this property in March '19 and taste about 8-9 vintages of their pinots and chards. I found there to be a definite uniqueness to each vineyard and each vintage. They are all well made but some years are definitely more homeruns than others. If you like pinots, give theirs a try, too. Enjoy, my friend!
