April 4, 2024 - So freaking delicious! Corton-Charlemagne, Batard, and Montrachet are all stunning wines from this estate. Each time I have the opportunity of tasting these wines, I am reminded how much I love great White Burgundy. Yum!
December 11, 2023 - Very good QPR. Great nose, excellent balance and decent length.
October 28, 2023 - La Fête du Champagne Grand Tasting (Pier Sixty - New York NY): Walkaround tasting with the producers. Big and brawny with lots of energy to go along with large scaled orchard fruit. This goes on and on to long finish. Needs time.
September 27, 2023 - Clear yellow color with a green hue. The nose is explosive, with ripe lemon, yellow apple, light tropical fruit. Yet it is sharp and mineral on the palate, with a finish that keeps going. Great wine.
July 22, 2023 - White Burgundy tasting @ K&L (K&L Wine Merchant - San Francisco): Aromas of ripe but awesomely balanced fruit flavors and a nice spiced note, it’s strong spice but very well balanced, and wet river pebbles. Nice richness but somehow manages to stay light and swift.
Drier fruit profile on the palate but leans more toward the minerals and prickly bitterness, and subtle dried stems. Dried, sun basked earth and dried crushed stones.
This was a bit disappointing for the price tag. Even with some time, this didn't improve much.
May 19, 2023 - Pop and pour. Extremely long diam cork. Serious tension. Lots of chalk. For a 2018 it’s well balanced without the heat overly showing. This got better as it got warmer, albeit I preferred this a couple of degrees below room temperature. With time, white chocolate and caramel dominate the nose. This is a great wine that punches well above its relative price point.

April 14, 2023 - An embarrassment of riches (Noizé and 67PM): Blind. Similar colour and style to its sibling.initially a little more cut and maybe a bit more mid palate grip as it opens. Broader with air. Eventually not quite the line and shape. ****
November 19, 2022 - Waterford Wine Co. Burgundy Festival (Waterford Wine Co. - Milwaukee WI): Walk around tasting. Big and dense, this seems slightly awkward and angular right now, but with so much great, and really great potential, 2024 forward.
March 19, 2022 - Tasted at La Paulee Los Angeles. So young, fruit was expectedly muted. Minerality was overt. This one has lots of potential but likely needs 7+ years.
March 12, 2022 - La Paulée de New York Grand Tasting (Pier Sixty, Chelsea Piers - New York NY): Walk around tasting. Rich and powerful with the stuffing to restrain the inherent ripeness. This is a big boy that can be fun now, or cellar for a decade+. Very long finish.
