  July 15, 2022 - Ex domaine bottle from owc, drank next to CLB reignots 02. This started out more oaked but yet there were similarities compared to the CLB starting with a lovely medicinal nose and demonstrating great structure and length. Just preferred the CLB by a hair in the end. But both bottles beautiful and one wonders if the premium for the CLB is worth it.

Louis-Michel made both wines - he worked the entire vineyard and was the winemaker and filled the Bouchard barrels for half the juice (which was then bottled and labelled by Bouchard, their barrels having a slightly higher toast and I think they racked and fined the wines which L-M didn't do for his own label wine). L-M's view is that the wines are more similar than not (which your notes seem to confirm). I really enjoyed the Bouchard labelled version earlier this year and look forward to five more bottles.
