  October 26, 2018 - This has that obvious grand cru texture in the way it fans out and wraps itself around the palate. But it's also a little challenging in that it seems to dance around both sides of the ripeness line, with its fruit in an autumnal cast seasoned with twiggy brush and cracked grains of paradise. I'm getting the sense that the house style here is less primary, more on the winey side than tends to be fashionable in Burgundy these days even among the so-called classicists, so that's certainly a factor here and you can call this style a classicist's classicism. But I can't quite tell from this today whether it promises to blossom or will always feel like it could have used a bit more sunshine. The Combe d'Orveaux is actually a more satisfying drink at the moment even though it lacks the breadth that the grand cru site delivers here.
