From 102 year old vines in the center of Pommard. This is, next to the Rugiens, the top wine of the estate. Sick nose. What a nose. So deep. So pure. Smoke, ripe cherry, huge minerals. Stoney. It needs 15 minutes I think. Wow. This is a beast. Massive fruit and structure. This is even more imposing than Rugiens. Massive power and concentration and fruit sap. This is incredible BUT I’ll be back to upgrade as this needs mega air. — 10 hours ago

Awesome wine. Like a baby Hermitage Blanc. Nose of yellow fruits, minerals and loads of gras. Gorgeous depth. Almost a pastry like element as well. Elegant, nimble and super fresh with great purity and depth. Elegant and balanced with juicy fruit and nervy intense minerality. Juicy and explosive with a long lingering finish. Really stays with you. — 13 hours ago

Gorgeous and pungent aromas out of the gates. Lemon party on the nose. Gorgeous pith and candied meyer lemon, superb minerality and also some black current. Palate is just electric with this confectionary sweetness derived from unreal minerality and sweet herbals and some sort KD fruit I can’t put my finger on. But it’s tasty and gorgeous. What energy and precision. So juicy and so much material. This is awesome. Complex and so drinkable and engaging with geek factor and normie factor. Really sick minerality and that 18 crunch. So pure. — 16 hours ago

Terrific nose. So fresh and pure. So so Pommard. Stones, spice, tea like aromas and deep cherry fruit. Juicy and complex with lovely fruit and purity. Fresh and ample but also energetic and linear. Delicious. Terrific volume and freshness. So pure. So clean. Amazing purity. Really impressive fruit soak on the finish. Exceptional village wine. — a day ago

So different than the Les Charmots. Nose is more ethereal and layered. Cherry and cherry flower but it is so lacey and nuanced. Gorgeous. Incredible florals. Pastille. Sweet raspberry. Just stunning. So delicate. Some BBQ and smoke as well. Palate has a painfully sweet intensity and incredible concentration yet remains light on its feet. Gorgeous purity and wonderful ripe tannins. Wow the freshness in this wine is off the charts. This is more tannic than the Charmots. After some air the nose is crazy. Such detail. This estate reminds me of a more polished accessible Billard-Gonnet. — 10 hours ago

Smells like Meursault. Beeswax, butter, some ML rich aromas, salty, mineral, ocean breeze. Gorgeous and stunning. Palate is ripe and rich with a succulent texture and such purity. Terrific freshness and sweet fruit and oak is like a 5% accent on the palate. So well made. Terrific energy and lingering length. — 16 hours ago

Classic Pezerolles. Stoney, surreal and layered. Just gorgeous. Tightest out of the gates so far. So floral. Gorgeous lithe elegant and ephemeral cherries. Cherry flower. Sick nose. Licorice and flowers. Just amazing. Juicy and complex with stunning intensity and finesse. Stoney throughout. Gorgeous elegance allied with sweet fruit and all on a silken string. So juicy with great breadth and depth also so so so long. Stunning. Ripe and Stoney tannins. Such a wonderful Pezerolles. — a day ago

Soaring nose. Gorgeous. Wow. Super high toned macerated cherries, glorious spice and minerality, amazing cotton candy, just an outrageous nose. Stoney and spicey and so so mineral. Just exuberant and insane pungent. Some smoke, game and leather as well. So transparent. Cherry flower, ripe midseason cherries. A 9.5 nose. Palate is incredible and sweet. Such thunderous and elegant fruit. Such flavor intensity. Wow. Just explodes on the palate with tiny berry fruit intensity. So so well made. This is incredible. Intensely sweet and concentrated but remains so so fine and so so elegant. This is so good. It has that sense of nobility that only the top Burg 1er Crus give. Such wonderful ripe tannins and exquisite energy and freshness. Top class. — 11 hours ago

Gorgeous nose. Classic Saulheim Weissburgunder. Nose of apple, pear, lemon, and very high toned, lovely purity and clarity. Palate is ripe and rich with amazing fruit and energy. Wow. So so delicious. Lemon, a savory element, pear fruit, lovely clarity and freshness. Killer acids. So so juicy and clean. Amazing mid palate with a bit of opulence and scintillating acids and freshness. Wow. What a wine. Can’t believe I’m giving this 9.4. — 16 hours ago
