Lovely C9dP. Plum and black olives dominate in a complex palate. Beautiful balanced. The 15 alcohol is not a problem. It does not have a ‘dry’ finish. Very elegant. Sad it is my last bottle out of 6. — 6 days ago

Great Preuses. Ripe yellow fruit. Fortunately not on the tropical side. Mineral even oyster water in the back. More elegance than the Clos tasted two years ago. Paired with langoustines, caviar and reduction of heads of langoustines @Armendu in Nevez France. one of the best winelists — 2 months ago

9.5

Very typical way of producing. Top wine with classic elements but bever dull. Dense. Hints of tropical fruit and lemon zest. With a long….. finish. Delicate not buttery. I would not recognitie it in a blind tasting as a Meursault. Must try for Evert Burgundy lover. — a month ago
