Complete and very much in harmony. En danseuse, and tasted blind, I was thinking chambolle. On day 2 it is richer, more full bodied, still very elegant.

Straight forward and very pleasing. A simple wine, sweet, light, delicate with me herbal notes. Unchanged on day 3 after opening, no hurry here …

Some sous bois here, spicy, but also sweet, creamy, vibrant, even airy. Stood very well in this tough crowd, a surpise for all, and even on day 3 a delight to drink, no signs of fatigue.

Spicy, quite rich, more so than elegant; dark fruit, a bit closed, but while other wines from this tasting survived fine even on day 3, this had a wee bit of an oxized feeling. 89?

A bit petillant, bot oh dear, this hits the spot;, vibrant, very much on the pinot nerve, en danseuse. Love it. A bit dark, roasted at the end, but still … on Day 2, this is still a cut above the Lavoux St. Jacques, more vibrant, mineral, intense, lively – a wine with identity. Great. 94+ points

Petillant when just opened. A little bit less concentrated than the Vougeot. Sweet, a bit polished, but only in the highest level. On day 2 much better, smooth, creamy, polished but on a high level with excellent fruit indeed. Juicy stuff.
