Rich but not blowsy, this was a lovely aperitif wine which is drinking very well now. Medium intensity and moderate acidity. Very pleasurable but doesn't have the incisiveness (or the price!) of a top Puligny.

Aromatic, rich and long. Very pleasant with food. Plenty of life - should improve further. Kept well too - very enjoyable finishing the bottle the next day.

Too cool on opening, so rather muted. After half an hour and some swirling, this started to wake up. Clear and clean nose and palate of gel fruits and oak - slightly over oaked at this stage though very refined too. Put aside for 3 hours and reurned to find a wine that had blossomed. Incredidly focussed nose and palate of white flowers and crystalline fruits. The oak had really subsided and integegrated. Really stunning, classy and magical.

Salty green fruits, with just the rich amount of nutty richness. Almost a salt-cured vegetable flavor as well. Firm acid, very long in the mouth. Still young but definitely no crime in drinking this now. Some might find this a touch lean for a 1er cru but I thought it was fabulous, particularly with our steamed crab w/ egg white dish.

This had loads of charm and paired beautifully with a cheese souffle. Lovely wine.
