White burg perfection. Captivatingly complex aromatics with Coche fireworks on full display, layered with popcorn, citrus oils and white flowers. What texture on the palate. Incredible volume and density, particularly for the vintage, fills the mouth with vibrant energy and phenomenal length. So good. — 20 days ago
Dujac fans know how great they did in ‘06, Jeremy Seysses’ first vintage in full control. Aux Combottes, a Premier Cru surrounded by Grand Cru’s on all four sides, is fabulous in 2006, fully open and giving wafting an unmistakable Dujac perfume with elegant spiced red berry fruit, cocoa and Gevrey earth. It’s liquid velvet on the palate, notably impressive for the vintage, with superb balance of fruit character, minerality and fine grained tannic structure. Terrific showing. — 13 days ago
Love this wine. Excellent Nebbiolo that drinks far better than its price point. — 25 days ago
Just the second vintage from this new winemaker who has bursted onto the scene. While I admittedly haven’t had every Gillet bottling, this is definitely my favorite and the only one I’ve reordered. What a perfume. Candied red fruit, fresh violets, exotic spices and vanilla bean. Silky palate with delicacy and finesse. Terrific bottle. — 20 days ago
There’s village and then there’s village. Gibourg made fabulous 2012’s and at age 12, the Vosne village is showing superbly, with seamless layers of fruit, mineral and spice, with the concentration of the vintage and the elegance and finesse of the site and winemaking yielding the perfect combination. In a great spot. — 25 days ago

After 2 hours in the decanter 2015 Chaillot is showing beautifully, fully open and giving wafting distinctive Allemand aromas with a seductive, mineral inflicted palette and fine grained tannins. It shows the warmth of the vintage but not at all hot, and its liquid rock minerality and floral lift adds a seamless balance to its fruit character. This is going to keep getting better. Love these wines. — 6 days ago
