January 27, 2024 - Hits the spot! Upon opening, the nose tells the whole story.
An hour of air is all that is needed to fully enjoy... for hours. An excellent wine for the money -

June 5, 2023 - This came across as a little less structured, and easier going than the "en champs". Dark, soft fruit, cedar accents. I liked this and the other Gevrey-Chambertin wines tonight. They all showed well, and differently.

August 13, 2021 - This was really interesting...you can tell that there is something nice here but the amount of wood that was clearly layered on this wine is very strange. There is a BBQ note...like the wine was seasoned with hickory sticks. This blows off somewhat with time but as they always say in Burgundy....producer, producer, producer.

August 13, 2021 - After wrestling my way past a disintegrating cork, I decanted this with the aid of a strainer. I hate cork as a seal.
The good news was that the wine was worth the fight with the cork.
Colour is deep brick red, speaking of a potent, mature wine. A little turbid, but that doesn't seem to have shown on the nose or palate, thankfully.
On first opening, the power of this wine was apparent as the aromas of dark plum and some earthiness came up from the decanter. In the glass, aromas early on included roasted beetroot on top of plum and earth. About an hour later the beetroot retreated, to be replaced, surprisingly, by violet perfume. I was so surprised by this i decided to do some research to make sure I wasn't sniffing something else. Sure enough violet is noted as an aroma to be found from this appelation, so I am sticking with it. 8 hours later it is still there and this wine is enticing.
The flavours are as per the nose, the mouthfeel is velvety, with tannins well resolved. Is there a hint of oak lurking on the edges of this wine, or is it merely an 'old' character? This wine is fully mature, but that is not code for past it. The finish is long and sumptuous. This is worth hunting down and it is worth the coin. I was put in mind of the rather athletic, sensuous singers in the band 'Devil's Daughters' and this is a very good thing, indeed. -
