A bit hard and austere. Bitter finish. Wasn't able to crack the code on this one. Had his 2009 Rugiens Bas a year back - which was much more interesting.

An extremely good bottle.

Cassis, prunes, tobacco (cigars), bilberries, dark chocolate, sweet licorice, coffee.

Fresh acidity. Long. Soft. Elegant.

I was quite impressed with this wine at this price point. A really full and flamboyant pinot. Strawberries, and bilberries. Maybe a bit short and bitter at the tail.

Dark berries. Nice acidity.

At opening, disappointing. But after an hour it woke up. Seductively balanced, strawberry, sour cherries. Lovely.

Yeasty, sour. Avoid.

Full - nice mouth feel. Good acidity. Quite delicious. Fairly developed at this point.

11/30/2018 - Poujeaux Likes this wine:

Nose: Blackberries

Palate: Blackberries, wood, some bilberries

Purple color. Closed at opening, improves and becomes juicier after a few hours of decanting. Precise. Needs time.

11/9/2018 - Poujeaux Likes this wine:

Beautiful depth with blackcurrants, tobacco, coffee. Also some leather, smoke, lees and caramel. Fairly developed now. I'd say it is now hitting it's prime.

11/3/2018 - Poujeaux Likes this wine:

Reductive on opening. Decanted out after two hours. No hints on day two.

Very acidic. Austere. Quite enjoyable if you lile a pinot with a bit of bite and hardness.

Dark berries. Cherries.

10/20/2018 - Poujeaux Likes this wine:

Interesting blend of syrah and cabernet sauvignon from Provence. Dark berries, dark chocolate and licorice on the palate. Needed about 2 hours to open. This is a 2011 - I think it should have waited 3-5 more years in the cellar. Would drink again.

10/11/2018 - Poujeaux Likes this wine:

Nose: Humid forest floor, oak, vanilla

Palate: Raspberries, cherries, "burned" taste somewhat similar to a white Meursault

Nose: Intense dark berries, spices, cherries, some strawberries.

Palate: Blackcurrants, blackberries, cherries, bilberries, liquorice

Color: Ruby red

Light, fresh at opening. More depth, lush after a few hours.

Young of course at this point. Lightly tannic finish.

In some ways it reminds me of a Gevrey-Chambertin. Really looking forward to see how this one is going to develop.

8/17/2018 - Poujeaux Likes this wine:

With reindeer filet.

Nose: Moss, forest floor, mould, blackcurrant

Palate: Blackcurrant, with a fresh layer of cherries on top

The acidity compliments a quite sweet base in a very appealing manner. Drinks well now, and for several more years.

Lovely Morgon. Blackcurrant, blackberries, cherries. Slightly tannic - should have some ageing potential.

Fuller than what you'd expect from a gamay. I found it quite non-typical for the grape.

Cork fully OK (saw some other reviewers mentioned soaked corks).
