Initially quite reduced and aromatically closed but eventually opens up to reveal its Vosne perfume. The palate is impeccable though, with excellent density and richness, succulent fruit and acids and a long saline-mineral finish. — 11 days ago

Underrated producer. Bright, juicy and already complex with Grand Cru density. Showing beautifully and a perfect match for the Squab. — a month ago

Served blind, called ‘96 Paulliac! It’s a left bank classic in 1996, structured, earthy and peppery with an elegant palate and fine grained tannins. Went perfectly with aged Texas Antelope! — 16 days ago

What was otherwise a tight, inexpressive and simple wine initially, blossomed into a gorgeous, elegant and satiny white burgundy after some time in the decanter. While still quite young, sufficient aeration has it in a great place, showcasing the site, vintage and winemaking in proper form with layers of white orchard fruit, citrus blossoms and lilies, a velvety and refined palate and a persistent stony mineral finish. Still, the best of this wine is in the future. — 16 days ago

Only 23 bottles made of this wine. Blind you would think Roulot Meursault! Which is definitely a compliment. — a month ago

(En Magnum)…One to live forever, but with proper aeration it’s plenty giving, perfumed and seductive with a powerful, vibrant and structured palate with killer Grand Cru density and stunning length that seemingly never dissipates. For the long haul! — 16 days ago

One of the best CDLR’s in the biz showing beautifully tonight with an ultra complex and seductive bouquet of candied red cherries, rose petals, coffee beans and game meat. The palate is luxuriously silky with obvious grand cru and old vine concentration, particularly for the vintage, and there is beautiful purity and elegance to balance its power. Its spice and mineral inflicted finale just keeps on going. 07 Burgundy are in such a great spot. — 25 days ago

It’s no secret PYCM made incredible 11’s. Les Caillerets couldn’t have shown better tonight, fully open and giving wafting from the glass with layers of white peach, toasted hazelnut and pastry cream. The palate is impeccably refined, elegant, pure and chiseled with racy lemony acids, superb weight for the vintage and a long stony mineral inflicted finale. Excellent, and still quite young. — a month ago
