  November 15, 2023 - Medium ruby red with pink rim. Redcurrant, strawberry, raspberry, Imperial Leather Cussons bar soap, elderflower, violet and spices. Medium-full bodied with a magical lift that made the wine felt light and perfumed. The mid-palate was a little dense which would benefit from more time in cellar to open up. The finish was long but a little drying.

  September 14, 2023 - On the nose, bright crunchy fruits, sour plums, very natural vibes. Take some more whiffs and you can more of that fruity notes; some raspberries, cranberries, sour cherries. I thought Claire Naudin, but the palate didn’t have the acid that I associate with her wines. Rather drying on the finish, with the structure kind of leaking across. All in all, enjoyable.

  September 13, 2023 - Post work neighbourhood session. My bottle, pop and poured. Drank in Conterno Sensory. Fruit Day.
  Appearance is cloudy, medium intensity, purple colour. Legs.
  Nose is not clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of mild funk, dirty earth, purple fruits, boysenberries, brambles. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), medium tannins, medium body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of boysenberries, purple fruits, brambles, dirty earth, whole bunch stems spices. Very juicy medium+ finish.
  Very good quality natural style. Has the glou glou feel to it and very drinkable. Not overly funky for me.

  March 23, 2021 - I will not beat about the bush: I don't dislike this wine, but it's not why I drink Burgundy. Had I tasted this blind, I probably wouldn't have guessed Burgundy. In fact, I wouldn't even have been very confident that this was Pinot Noir. Somebody told me about Prieuré-Roch: it's not classical, it's jazz - but very good jazz. He may be right, but I guess I like classical. If a Burgundy is not expressive of its terroir, for me it misses the point. On a positive note: it was a perfect companion for Elizabeth's chicken goulash. I always drink Blaufränkisch with that dish, and this is a damn good Blaufränkisch imitation, with its sour cherries and peaches, flowers and spices, steely acidity, bright minerality and grippy tannins. Nothing wrong here, but why? What's the point?
