  February 28, 2024 - Acker "Paulee" Burgundy Dinner (Capital Seafood - Beverly Hills CA): Paulee style dinner. Magnum. Restrained start with apple and pear, delicate floral and spice notes. Bigger finish, all well balanced. Upside from here.

  November 23, 2023 - Two bottles consumed today. Both perfect and HQ. Greenish gold straw color. Orchard fruits tending toward green apple and pear. Oak brought a richness and a hint of tropical fruit like unripe pineapple but the wine was in perfect harmony tending toward lean rather than rich (and PYCM GC can lean toward richer/fuller). Great tension in the wine. Great texture and weight. Medium plus acid gives me a good feeling about aging another 5-10 easy. Crushed rocks and minerality come in the package and this is a standout wine and still a good value for best of the best CC. Highest recommendation.

  July 1, 2023 - An Epic Summer Wine Weekend - Year 2; 6/30/2023-7/2/2023 (Muskoka, Ontario, Canada): [Tasted Single Blind] This is pours light straw in the glass. The nose is rich and complex with vanilla custard, flinty reduction, candied lemon peel, pear, cashew, sawdust, struck match, and mint. Definitely some high quality new wood here, unlike every other wine in this flight which shows little oak at all. The palate is super precise entering on crisp citrus and orchard fruit, with medium plus acid and a lovely light herbaceous note. Almost a touch of wood tannin turns up on the mid-palate. The finish closes nicely on mineral and stone augmented by a touch of sawdusty oak. While myself and this group are generally oak adverse, the quality of the oak here and integration level is impressive. Clearly the winemaker was thoughtful in their application of new oak as it's already showing a degree of integration and at this points seems to add more than detract. This was fairly easy for the group to pick out as the PYCM CC. "It smells like money" one taster commented.

  March 25, 2023 - Pale color. Light body. Usual reductive profile although after about an hour this started to shine. Certainly among the most crisp, precise and zippy corton Charlemagne’s I’ve ever had, if not the most (de Montille CC is a close runner up in this category). Nice complexity and harmony, although it took some time. I’d definitely suggest a decant and or letting this get air before drinking, but it’s drinking very nicely now.

  October 13, 2022 - Revisiting this wine I may have underrated it. Not that I thought it was bad, but it may have simply been served a bit too cold. At a slightly warmer temperature this was showing so well tonight. More cut and precision than I recall previously. Strong showing for the vintage from PYCM.
