Pop and pour. Satisfying, classic, CNdV. Red berries, lush texture. Reminds me of the house wine that punches above its weight in a French restaurant. Drink now.

Day 1 dark, sexy and seductive on the nose and palate. Surprisingly (to me) dark cherry, dark raspberry on the palate. Day 2 more structure, not as pronounced dark fruit. Great both days, but almost two different wines.

Très expressif au nez comme en bouche, fruits rouges, cerises, un peu terreux, un vin vibrant et énergique, des tannins raffinés, jeune certes mais donne déjà beaucoup de plaisir. 91-92
Very expressive wine with cherries and a touch of earthyness, energetic with refined tannins, still young but gives a lot of pleasure right now too.

From the village of Comblanchien (not classified as a village in itself) just south of Premeaux (subsumed under NSG). Compared to a CdN VV I tried last year from the same vintage, this had lost some of its primary fruit. Only showed some glimpses of purple fruit but the sweetness was more prominent than the freshness. Seemed a little shutdown with some pruney flavours so hold for a while I think.

Deep and open aromatics of fresh Morello cherries, orange marmalade and subtle spices. This was less earthy than I last had it a year ago. Good red fruit intensity of medium bodied flavors, detailed texture with wiggly grainy tannins, red cherries, mineral inflected mid displaying crushed rocks, stones and soil. Very good length and long lasting finish.

One of the best cote de nuits villages i had so far. from a plot in comblanchien a bit south of the beloved clos de la marechale. this has great red berry fruit and minerality, enlaced by a floral/sous bois that fragarance that becomes quite enchanting with some air. good acidity/tannin structure gives it a more than decent persistence

An attractive and expressive bouquet red berries, wet earth, rain forest, camp fire smoke, floral and potpourri wafts from the glass. Excellent intensity and richness of red berry fruits, medium bodied flavors, integrated earthy mix of forest floor and ends with a lengthy finish. Very good quality and charmingly delicious.

Consistent with last bottle, pretty nose of dark bright berry, minerals, some warm spices and floral aromas, juicy palate on the attack that becomes a little thinner on the finish, with a crisp mouthfeel throughout

Just a little bit medicinal and barnyard, maybe brett which I didn't think was there before. Not sure this is headed in the right direction...

Powerful nose of rocky, flinty mineralite, complex floral perfumes.
Beautifully beguiling feminine palate, red berries, limestone mineralite, lacy textured.

The last glass (five hours open) was the best - so lay it down. Delicious spice but not for lacking in fruit or acidity. Very finely balanced.

Fragrant, pure cool blue fruit, backed up with solid but light tannin. Punches above weight, vg

Pure fruit, fresh, spicy on the nose. On the palate good acidity, slightly mineral, lovely fruit, decent complexity and length. Good QPR. 88-89+
