October 15, 2023 - J’avais vu qu’une aération idéale de 4 heures était souhaitable. Manquant de temps, j’ai choisi de l’épauler 1h30 (retiré un verre, laissé la bouteille ouverte puis reversé le verre dans la bouteille après). Le traitement était à point car le vin est expressif, parfumé, complexe, suberbe.

May 19, 2022 - Superbe bouquet fin, complexe et racé qui ne manque pas de parfum. Bouche soyeuse en attaque, haute et bien fraiche pour un 2016 qui culmine dans une seconde moitié de bouche un poil trop structurée et acidulée mais qui tend à s'adoucir à l'aération. Ma seule bouteille qu'il m'aurait fallu attendre 4 à 6 ans encore, j'attendrai donc sagement mon Clos des Chênes et Clos du Chateau des Ducs quelques années au minimun. 90+

April 3, 2022 - Decanted to open it up a bit. The fruit is high-toned and almost tart initially. Rounds out with some air and picks up weight. It seemed like this was holding something in reserve and I think another few years will be very beneficial.
