February 11, 2024 - En lisant des notes d’il y a quelques années, je crois que le vin s’est refermé et qu’il commence probablement à émerger de cette période d’hibernation. Le nez est parfumé, superbe. La bouche est fraîche et délicate, puis le vin devient plus costaud avec l’aération. D’une grande complexité car change de profil en cours de soirée. Encore très jeune, déjà solide, je vais attendre pour la prochaine.

January 7, 2024 - This was quite lovely. Nose with lovely ripe plum, some black raspberry, and ripe cherry; floral with a hint of mineral, but right now mostly just pure and delicious fruit. The mineral tinge takes you back to Volnay and while there is some structure there it is well buffered; lovely and a long finish. High quality village stuff.

December 21, 2022 - Meaty and earthy base notes with a sour cherry and dark cherry fruit. Good intensity. Round mouthfeel with a solid acidic structure. An amazing wine in its price range. Consumed 5 consistent bottles during a lunch.

July 6, 2022 - Closed and disappointing at first. Much better after several days open, but still not so special. On the nose: elegant Volnay red and black fruit, but something a touch thin. On the palate: good acid, some medicinal herbs and red fruit, ok density and surprisingly burly and rustic tannic structure. Seems rather disjointed actually, and maybe this will improve with (a lot of) age, but right now just ok, even with loads of air.
