November 16, 2023 - Decent bottle of wine but could be much better considering the vineyard. On par with a good bottle of village Volnay. Can't complain considering the price, but you get what you pay for.

October 14, 2023 - Fantastic immediately on opening
Vivid nose, wonderful perfume, Violet and cherry pastry
Garnet red
Deep flavors, rich earthy, allspice, nutmeg, forest floor, hint of game on finish in mid palate
Intense and elegant -

October 5, 2021 - Opened by mistake and recorked overnight. Consumed on day #2
Very nice wine with good fruit and depth. Some nice mushrooms on the finish. will likely get better still with 4-5 more years in the cellar. -

April 2, 2021 - Bra Bourgogne med mycket frukt men kanske lite ung ännu, som andra påpekat på forumet. Kändes aningen bättre dag två men kan gått ligga några år i källaren.

January 23, 2021 - Opened and pure a taste for my wife who tasted blind. Very light and bursting with cherries. Wife no like. Said she wanted something with more body and thought it a cheap pinot noir. So I recorked and put in fridge. 3 days later spend it back up and WOW! What a transformation. Much darker and gained weight. Dark raspberries and dark cherries. A bit of chalkiness. forest floor and mushrooms. Earthiness. Great mouthfeel. Been opened for 2 hours now and still opening up. Will definitely age. If open now will need a decant.
