  January 27, 2020 - Exploring Meursault with Cedric at Eleven Madison Park (Eleven Madison Park Sol LeWitt Room): Smokey bacon and earthy notes. Some chalky tannins. Big black fruit.

  March 11, 2019 - There is quite some amount of leather and pepper notes, that is not defined, slightly overwhelming the fruit notes. The wine is balanced but lacking the elegance. This is a slight disappointment.

  March 2, 2018 - La Paulée Zachy's Auction (Mourad - SF, CA): Yes, there is a reductive note here but the fruit behind is very polished, ripe and exuberant. Good freshness and lift throughout. Once the reduction fades, this will be an early drinking and fine Volnay.

  March 2, 2018 - Some Wine Tasted at the Zachys La Paulée Auction (Mourad - San Francisco CA): Small glass, brief note. Very reductive, so impossible to assess in the few minutes in glass. Very good stuff behind that.

  October 30, 2017 - This struck me as a very serious Volnay. Absolutely delicious, with excellent fruit concentration and freshness to balance. Sensed a good mix of masculine and feminine, which I appreciated. Another sign of 2012's early drinkability.
