  Burgundy dinner for friends: Textbook Gevrey. Obvious coffee notes on the nose. Smoky, dark red fruit with some earth and iron notes on the palate.

  The first vintage of Florence Heresztyn and just so well-made. It is improving each year and now at 10 years, it still has the clear bright fruit mostly in the darker end of the spectrum being true to the 2012-vintage. Tannins have softened with age. An enjoyable village-wine now that I think could even continue to improve with age as it gets more tertiary flavours..

  PNP and much more fruit than I would expect. No doubt a Gevrey with a good dose of rustic flavor. This is in a drinking window for sure. Tannins are tame. Very enjoyable.

  I have had my fair share of this wine from different vintages (02, 09 and 12) and it always disappoints a little. So... maybe I should stop buying (their white generic Burgundy is terrific)? The nose is better than the palate with tertiary notes of underbrush and cherry fruit, the palate is a bit one dimensional lacking some brightness and complexity. 87-88

  Still on the young side but I like how this wine is developing and it is actually at a good spot already with its ample clear fruit and with a fine and delicate balance. I like it!
