    December 24, 2023 - Racy fruit followed by a peppery finish. Very smooth and elegant.

    October 28, 2023 - La Fête du Champagne Grand Tasting (Pier Sixty - New York NY): Walkaround tasting with the producers. More black than red fruits, very attractive aromatically but more backward and brooding on the tongue. Good density. Better from 2030-.

    April 7, 2023 - Medium body. Nice spice and dark fruit, I think black berry, on the palate. Still structured but with nice fruit and depth, as well as balance. This is drinking very nicely now but will be amazing in 3-5 years. Aside a grand cru this will fall quite short, but on its own it’s quite great.

    February 24, 2023 - 100% Pinot Noir
    from the 3.92 ha parcel (since 1791) in the heart of the 32 ha
    Beaune Grèves 1er cru with east/south-east exposure and
    gravelly/sandy limestone clay soil.
    Manual harvest in small 13 kg boxes. Manual sorting by grape.
    Partial de-stemming (20% whole bunch). Soft pressing.

    Aged 17 months in French oak barrels (20% new) under optimal
    environment of the cellars of the ancient Château de Beaune.
    13.5% Abv.

    Background: Founded in 1731 in Beaune by Michel Bouchard and
    continued for 3 centuries and 9 generations. Acquired by
    Joseph Henriot (Maisons & Domaines Henriot) in 1995 which

    A(ccuray)=2: Med ruby/cherry. Mildly stalky, toasty varietal.

    C(omplexity)=2: Ripe dark berries, spices, tobacco, earthy minerality.

    Wine Tally Score [2/3/2/2] = 9/10

    Reticent charm.
