  Pale brick red, water rim. Simple cherry fruit, generally not showing. Tart acidity.

  Nice Burgundy perfume of flowers, cranberry, and cherries. Very fresh fruit forward palate on opening. Raspberries, Cherry and forest strawberries. the wine gets more serious after half an hour with leather and an herbal note. Good acidity and lightness on this one. The wine lacks real depth and substance to go for the long haul I think but up to 2025 let go!

  Pretty wine. It’s very accessible already. Black fruit, very fine grained tannic, a certain amount of minerality in its backbone. We polished off two bottles in the last three months. I’ll try to hold on to the last one for a few years to see if it gets someplace interesting.

  Delicious, lively, still young, cherry and pepper. Great balance. Long finish. Significantly more depth and liveliness than comparably priced Cote de Nuits village wines that I've had from recent vintages.
  More detailed tasting note to come with next bottle. Fortunately I have 9 more!

  A good weeknight burgundy.
  
  Nose was gravel, dirty flowers, burnt meaty.
  Taste: cherry and plums. Acidic bite followed by a smoother meaty finish. Not too complicated but went well with a simple lamb and noodle dish with brown butter sauce.
