  January 26, 2024 - Lovely fruit and acid balance. Hints of cloves and Asian spices. Perfect with roast pork. This is absolutely singing right now, and I would say in a perfect place. Such an excellent showing for a '13 marsannay. Very well done.

  October 27, 2023 - Burgundy WIMPS #170 27th October 2023 (La Trompette, Chiswick): Cool cark fruits on the nose and a slug of dissolved SO2. After pouring between glasses for a while this develops some real depth. There are touches of Oolong tea, some goji berries and layers of dark fruits. Palate is rich with a lovely peppery acidity. My wine of the flight.

  April 14, 2023 - Notes similar to last time, with acidity and tannin more to the fore, fruit even further to the rear. Disappointing.

  October 7, 2022 - Medium ruby, translucent; no sign of age. A fairly muted nose, which I can only describe as 'smelling like village Burgundy.' On the palate it's light to medium-bodied; there are fine tannins and a reasonable amount of acidity, but quite a lot of briary fruits to bring a welcome generosity. I suspect this would have been a stunner three or four years ago, but I'm enjoying it very much tonight. It's not a wow wine, but it has character - Marsannay character - as well as providing pleasure. Cork, 13%.

  August 9, 2020 - Just lovely. Seemed perfectly in balance. Just enough acidity to prop up the raspberry and cherry. Bit of kirsch in there too. Tannins supersmooth but nothing sickly about it. Perfect with a huge poached trout and Russian salad on a hot night in the garden. Wife in transports! (That has to be good). To my mind this is why i buy Burgundy - i am not a big spender so this is no 'cellar defender' for me - but it is miles more enjoyable than the 'Tay raspberry' version of Burg the WSUK buyers describe for the much more acidic notch below this one. (As you can tell, i am no expert, but if i enjoy a wine i like to say so :) ).
