March 9, 2024 - Reduction, flint, and gun smoke. A rich, waxy wine showing oaky vanilla, cream, and a still some underlying orchard fruit. Acidity kept it going, but this is starting to get tired and was a bit out of sync for me this evening (though L liked it).
January 27, 2024 - A nice step up since the last bottle. Good crisp intensity on the palate, med- body, tart lemon. Med length.
September 24, 2023 - Nez légèrement oxydé, citron et mineral... Striking mineral, huge minerality, but unfortunately a by oxidized...
July 15, 2023 - 1/12 Classic PYCM profile upon opening. Quite lean and zingy for 30 mins or so before opening to reveal a far more expansive mid palate with real depth. Really minerally, finely crystalline, grippy texture with lots of fine extract. Ready to go and near the top of the upslope I think, there’s lots to like here. ****
July 8, 2023 - Amazing integration and minerality. Delicious. Will go 10 more years.
March 25, 2023 - Brief TN's from last night's B-day party:
Beautiful balance, subtle struck match, lemon curd, peach.
February 1, 2023 - On thé showier, louder spectrum for St Aubin. Screams PYCM in first pour. It’s sexy but not yet profound.
November 6, 2022 - Light yellow in color. The nose takes about 30+ mins to unfurl and shows lemon confit, hint of buttered pears/peaches, yellow florals and herbs. The palate is beautifully integrated showing good depth to the citrus poached orchard pit fruits, good acidity and a long mineral and floral finish. This is very, very good. No hints of aggressive oak or reduction on this one.
October 15, 2022 - Ouch this is good for a Saint Aubin. Initially a touch acidic but with ten minutes of air it gets totally in sync, not very reductive for PYCM, rather generous but still focused, radiant but restraint, some crème brûlée, salted caramel but so much sap you end up continuously reaching for the glass. Brilliant stuff, dare I say almost Coche-esque after two hours of air?
January 1, 2022 - Now lacks fruit to balance acidity. Too much matchstick. Rather thin.
