This has improved since my last note. The focus and length are better, and there is now a more assertive sauvage character leading the way, but plenty of limestone and dried red fruit later on. A higher acid pinot, good with food, and overall very nice. Drink anytime over next 5-7 years.

Very pleasant, I think it's probably at the beginning of of its drinking window, and will have more to give in a few years. It's on the lighter side for a gevrey, with a little earth/forest floor, but also some pretty, more chambolle-like qualities. I think it will lengthen out as it gains some secondary and tertiary characteristics, and peak around 2020.

Pleasant and fairly middle of the road in nearly all respects. A bit of sauvage character, medium body, medium length, medium intensity. Enjoyable, and just fine on a weeknight with a roast chicken.

Took to a tasting. Very nice example of CdN pinot, with limestone and sauvage character. Acidity is elevated. Finishes long. Good stuff.

Moderately expressive nose. High acid, light style Pinot, with red berry, herbal, leather, loamy soil notes. Versatile with food. Drink now.
