This is an absolutely glorious wine. Approachable now but clearly a great future ahead, amazing finesse, a bit of American oak to start but then it burns and burns, Vega like they used to make it 40 years ago. — a day ago

Back to back 2017 bougros and 2016 les preuses. The 2017 bougros is a fantastic effort. More forward, more fruit, a bit somekey, lots of citrus and pear, more approachable, good acidity and saltiness. Better than the 2016 for now. — 3 days ago

Medium weight, lots of red fruit, showy. Was offered as an alternative to the Clos de la Roche (I drunk their last bottle on a previous occasion), doesn’t come close. — a month ago

The wine is still very tight and needs time. Citrus and thyme scents with an oyster shell finish, salinity and minerality top. Wait. — 3 days ago

Great, satiny, velvety, lots of dark red fruit and a bit of leather. Wait to drink 4 to 5 years. Approachable but a bit of a crime. — 5 days ago
