What a great wine and terrific value. Nose is closed yet rich and floral. Some mineral. But a sense of something is there. If yet unformed. Palate though is fully formed and gorgeous. Juicy fruit. Clean and mineral. Balanced and lip smacking with great structure. Great wine. Hits above its weight. — a day ago

Florent's breakthrough vintage for reds. He crushed 14 across the board. Reticent nose (it's too cold, my fault) at first of freshly picked dark cherries and some earth. More nose notes later. The palate is young but amazingly fresh with tons of energy. Loads of bing cherries and tons of dense tannins and terrific freshness due to the crunchy acids. Such nice fruit and sap. This will and should age but had to try it. More nose notes later as gets to room temp. — 8 hours ago

Killed a baby and lived to tell about it. As classic as it gets in Volnay. Great vintage for this wine. Stoney nose with deep red cherries, mint and wonderful underbrush aka sous bois. Gorgeous nose. Palate is juicy, complex and full of fruit but a brooding structure as well. Exceptional balance and freshness. Stunning depth. Maybe at 5% of what it is capable of. Deep and concentrated fruit that is dense as it is young and raw. Amazing potential. Classic Clos du Chenes. — a day ago

Stunning aromas. Nobel aromas. Lemon candy, lemon zest, honeyed almonds, loads of minerals, intoxicating. The minerality is truly encompassing. Palate is full of acids, such dense and delicate fruits. So elegant and mineral. Just stunning. Exuberant and expressive. Wonderful. — 4 days ago

Wow. As advertised, Thierry killed 2015. Stunning wine and best FDP ever from this estate. Floral, lavender, roses, berry, mineral, earth, very refined and perfumed. As it aired out it just got crazy. What a nose. Truly outstanding. The palate is just so complete. Juicy and dense yet startlingly fresh and complex. Awesome tannins and balance. Young but not impossibly so. So long on the palate. Wonderful. — 4 days ago

For me the best German Chardonnay but I am biased obviously. Floral nose with some green apple and loads of minerals. The Palate has the rich almost Meursault like flavors on the attack and then finishes so mineral and fine. Absolutely brilliant. So fine. So filigreed. So finesse driven, yet also beautifully light touch of wood. — a day ago

Cork was pushing up and this needed to be opened. Gorgeous nose. So many rocks. Petrol, lemon, lime zest, mineral and even a hint of rainer cherries. Really aromatic and stunning. Palate is super mineral and dense and opulent (this is 06) with nice texture and freshness. Good acids and nice citrus fruits on the long finish. Really Long. Excellent and at its apogee. — a day ago
