A good rose with bold fruit, good tannic structure, and pretty good acidity (I didn't feel the relatively high dosage). Probably not a wine that will wow the crowd, but a very pleasing companion to food that you can enjoy over days. Worked with everything I tried from Indian curries to pistachios, to tortillas (the guidance on drinking window for this wine seems off).
This was a 100% Pinot Noir using traditional saignee method; disgorged in 2016. 10 grams of dosage.

A pretty, and vibrant Volnay. tannins resolved, but still with plenty of fruit; tertiary flavors not yet dominant. My only bottle bought from the secondary market. I liked it very much.

Very good aged Macon. It started out rich, and honeyed (as others also said below), and frankly. it seemed a bit long in the tooth initially. After an hour or so, it acquired more acidity, and minerality. The sweetness almost disappeared. It had a chalky, minerally backbone, and a bit of a tannic grip that I wouldn't have believed possible after my first sip. Insanely good burgundy for the price!
This was my third, and last bottle.
