June 24, 2023 - Had my last bottle in 2022 - I still like the wine but not a lot of development has happend - Can more or less repeat what I wrote in 2022 so still 93 but a smaller 93 this time.
July 1, 2022 - A great wine - where you get cherries and strawberries - we are also getting some menthol - the wine is dark (house style) - you also sense the use of new wood - the wine has a great balance - tannins and acidity are well integrated - my quest had it blind and he guessed premier cru . The wine has a nice long aftertaste - a well made wine - that still will develop - we are happy to give solid 93.
April 30, 2021 - Roasted meat with intense black cherry and plum aromas and flavors. Some clear earthy character when first opened, but which dissipated by the time finished three hours later. Very good depth and balance, I'd have certainly thought this Gevrey 1er Cru density if tasted blind.
August 14, 2019 - Dim Sum Club at Majestic (Majestic Restaurant, Marina One): A big, strong village, just about coming into its own. The nose showed deep wafts of dark cherries and berries, bloody iron mineral, and a lift of florals and spice at the edges. The palate was still marked by a sense of extraction - with firm, powdery in tannins and chewy acidity framing big flavours of dark berries and cherries, all this leased with a nice spiciness and, again, that tang of iron mineral. Solid stuff, good with meat dishes, and probably with still a bit of upside to go. Not the most elegant of styles though.
January 26, 2017 - Burgundy 2007 (Chez moi): Dark, almost roasted, modern stuff; not a fan as such, and in the company of great wine, this falls through.
February 22, 2015 - Deep dark colour, red rim.
Intense rich fragrance of plums, black cherries and distinct cherry stone zest. A light scent of oak but a much stronger sherbet zest.
Rich and quite extracted, heavy plums and black cherry, damsons and a hint of prune. Slightly tart finish, not especially well balanced. Has some earthy flavours adding complexity but fruit dominates. Curious but not exciting.
November 23, 2014 - A nice balanced combination of red/black fruits with minerality
Could have used some decanting; drinking well now but no rush
90-92 pts
November 22, 2014 - Dark red, but with a lovely vibrant glow. Floral bouquet, with violets and fresh roses. Some nice forest floor and toffee. Palate was fresh, acidic, with a good amount of resolved tannin. Again, there was the intensity, with cherries and raspberries and fresh minerals. Its amazing how balanced Bernard Dugat's wines are, be it Bourgogne or Grand Crus. This was a really lovely effort, a village drinking well above its level.
May 23, 2014 - Decanted for one hr
Very alcoholic at the beginning, mellowed out within two hrs. Lots of red fruits with white peppery nose . Long finish
Needs time 3-5,years to come together
February 5, 2014 - Very ripe and intense black cherry aromas with some sauvage and Gevrey roasted meat character. Very similar on palate with a surprising stemmy note that I inferred as whole cluster, which surprised me for this cuvée. A serious Villages wine, slightly more brooding than I'm finding in 2007s today.
