    February 25, 2022 - La robe est garnet, évolué en parrois. Il dégage un parfum d'épices, de fruits rouges acidulés, canneberge, pointe de truffes. La bouche est droite avec une grande acidité mais jouis d'un jolie amplitude qui s'élargie en rétro. Grande pureté et finesse. Les amers sont bien dosés. Longue finale salivante ponctué d'une fine notes de menthe. Wow! En plein dans le mile!!!

    June 27, 2021 - The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like cranberry and black currant (cassis). It tastes like cranberry, black currant (cassis), vanilla, cinnamon and light toast. The body is medium. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity.

    September 2, 2018 - Still reduction, pretty oak
    Sweet cherry, mushroom, spice
    Not strong attack, soft, delicate and balanced flavor
    Long finish and lingering acidity(like Leflaive's Puligny)
    I said it was like a Chambolle in blind tasting.

    March 22, 2016 - Nose of sesame! Reminds me of a very fine-crafted Burgundy white! While the new oak nose is a little over-the-top, the wine is very pleasant with rich fruit and spice and mineral notes, with salty bacon developing as the glass gains some air. Much more ripe for the vintage, but seems to have a 10yr potential to gain further integration. Could be a blind-taste-killer as I have no idea where this village is yet the wine-making quality is evident. Worth keeping and great QPR for the price!
