April 14, 2024 - from a few weeks ago. i recall this being very good but 1. probably too young to drink and 2. didnt give it enough time to open up and hit its full potential. not as much overt matchstick and reduction that i expect from PYCM and the fruit was good but not as lush as I expected from a CC. def bracing acidity and minerality with white stone fruit. but didnt scream Grand cru quality to me which I would have expected. i think letting these lay down and age longer and then giving them more time to open will be the best path.
March 10, 2024 - I continue to love this vintage of PYCM CC. A great wine.
March 9, 2024 - Grand Cru White Burgundy Fest: Wonderful acid combined with a lingering finish garnered this WOTF honors. Such a lovely drink.
January 16, 2024 - I continue to like this very much. Great juice.
January 15, 2024 - Heidi's Gang: Wind Chill & Frostbite (Maison Margaux, Mpls): Pale gold color. Drank a glass over an hour plus side by side with the '17 Perrieres and '17 Genevrieres. This was an amazing trio by measure. The CC was a standout immediately on pouring and continued to evolve. Buttery, rich, decadent yet so refined, creamy, lemon, lemon cream, delicious. Thie is rich and so classy, very even; buttery, fantastic ultra refined ocean minerality, beeswax, Anjou pear tart, lemon, tangy, melon. This was exquisite, balanced, sustained and harmonious. Thanks Brad. 96+(+)pts.
January 15, 2024 - Heidis Group in the Minneapolis "Warehouse District" on a bone chilling night. Same spectacular blt as Brad E. My favorite of the 3 PYCMs in the same flight. Opened alongside the 17 Meursault Perrieres & Meursault Genevrieres. I loved the laser like precision and minerality here. Every sip was magic and intriguing for its purity and sheer class. Best set of PYCMs I've ever had! Thanks Brad!
December 25, 2023 - Beautiful clarity and precision. Expresses scents and flavors of lemon curd and brioche. Very tight even after an hour's aeration. Would benefit from an additional five years of aging. May merit a higher score once the cocoon is divested.
November 28, 2023 - French club tasting. 2 hour decant. Stunning nose of flint, stone fruit and citrus. Lively and lean palate, decent depth but defined more by the mineral laden and chalky elements.
September 24, 2023 - Superbe nez de mineral, superbe citronné, accacia, noisettes grillées... Striking acidity, very delicious!!
May 22, 2023 - Starts out fantastic, then with air gets even better. This is great wine of the highest order.
