  October 4, 2022 - With a touch of vanilla along with citrus and a hint of pineapple and Meyer lemon, the wine is fresh and oily with a hint of white peach in the finish. Still, a bit tight at the moment, give it a bit more time in the cellar before pulling a cork. Drink from 2022-2032.

  June 30, 2022 - A little simple because it was served PnP. Keep it for another few years or open it a day in advance.

  August 9, 2020 - As you may know, this wine is named after the knight who is the protagonist in the whole Hermitage story, and is a blend of 65% Marsanne and 35% Roussanne. It is fermented in oak, and matures for a year in the same barrels.
  
  On the first day of opening (yesterday) the wine didn't really prove itself, bit was a nice, slightly fatty white wine. Hardly something worthy of being called Hermitage. Today it's a different story, and the wine is basically defying gravity, and falling up from my glass. Citrus, Provence herbs, hint of petroleum, very fresh but also full. On the palate it's very dense, packed with minerals, citrus, and a touch of salty liquorice. Long, acidic finish.
  
  This is a great wine. Honestly, why would anyone buy village Puligny-Montrachet, when they could buy this for the same price? I'm guilty of it myself, but I'll have to consider my purchases even harder now. Fortunately I still have two tucked away, and I'm looking forward to seeing them develop over the next 10 years. Highly recommended!

  December 22, 2019 - Blind tasting. 8'°C. Nice nose of flint and roasted cereals. Mouth straight simple and banlanced for a suspected grenache blanc from gauby.

  April 16, 2019 - Découvertes en Vallée du Rhône; 4/15/2019-4/16/2019 (Ampuis, Mauves and Tain-l'Hermitage): Walk around tasting talking with the producers, brief note. Ok but I'd expect a wine this young to be more pristine. Disappointing today.
