March 2, 2024 - Nice but somewhat unremarkable. Has brighter notes like a gamay with the body of a pinot noir - go figure considering it’s a gamay-pinot noir blend!
December 3, 2023 - Encore assez costaud, d’une jeunesse fougueuse pour l’appellation. Un vin concentré, qui prendra je crois encore quelques années avant de se révéler pleinement. C’est quand même déjà très bon.
November 4, 2023 - I wouldn't call it anything exceptional. It is clean and correct, but completely forgettable.
October 15, 2023 - Remains so delicious, full of raspberry, lithe, light tannin, just great.
January 25, 2023 - Clear ruby
Hibiscus, strawberries, cassis, warm spices, earth, cotton candy
Med finish
Lovely casual wine, great pairing with slow poached soy sauce chicken and roast duck
Day 3 still super lively! More raspberries
January 25, 2023 - Bright, charming, delicious. A bit more serious than your average passetoutgrain. Drink over next 2-3 years
October 2, 2022 - Ouvert dès sa réception. Typique du domaine, il est discret et réduit à l’ouverture. Il prend de l’ampleur après une heure, révélant des notes de cerises et de cassis, des fruits assez mûrs à l’image du millésime, quelques notes d’épices douces en finale, une plénitude en bouche, mais la finesse de Lafarge. Aura droit à au moins un point de plus avec un peu de patience. Toujours une valeur sûre chez la famille Lafarge.
July 28, 2022 - Bright red cherry balanced with earth.
Medium acid with a long finish that mirrors the nose. There’s noticeable concentration on the palate.
A perfect execution of passetoutgrains. You have the aromatics and brightness of the gamay, with the savory complexity of burgundy Pinot. At $30 you’re getting nearly 100 year old vines that enjoy the same elevage as the domain’s top bottling. Incredible Burgundy QPR for 2022.
July 27, 2022 - Red fruit (cherry, cranberry), earth, violet, spice, good acidity. Bright. Like a good bojo cru. Really enjoyable.
June 7, 2022 - Bright red cherry start-to-finish with very good depth for Passetoutgrains. Still finishes a bit firm, so probably even better as it further softens in another year or so.
