2018 tasted 2020. Some may find this bio-dynamic Pinot Noir off putting—fermented as it was in a clay amphora using wild yeast—but give it a chance (if you’re feeling adventurous). Right out of a newly uncorked bottle I get Earth, smoke, and cherries on the nose (and the cherry is the scent of artificial cherry flavoring that you get with cherry flavored hard candy!). A Thick and chewy fruit bomb on the front., Musky chlorophyll on the mid palate with a surprisingly soft finish. By now you’re saying “eeeewwww! Not for me!” But pour off a glass and recork the bottle for 24 hours. All that intensity mellows into something remarkably drinkable, albeit still a bit strange. — a month ago

Sweet but not cloying. Melon and with a hint of citrus on the nose. Soft velvet on the top of the palate with a gravely mineral finish. Lots of high notes at the very end. I love this wine. — a month ago

2017 tasted 2020. Nice Gimblett Gravels bouquet, Roses and mint on the nose. Plums on the front. Velvety tannic structure. Very smooth. But kind of meh in the middle with a sharp mineral ending. Very drinkable but not memorable. — a month ago

2918 tasted 2020. Apples begging to get punky on the nose, with an undertone of darker fruit. Light front end without much fruit. Light inoffensive tannic structure with a lot of high notes. Not much happening on the end. — a month ago

2016 tasted 2020. Dark chocolate on the nose with some notes of chalk. Cassis and raspberry fruit on the front — but the fruit isn’t very intense. Medium tannic structure with a lot of calcaire incorporated into the soft mouth feel. This a delicate wine all the way to the end. Lingering finish with an aftertaste that reminds of apricots. — a month ago

2017 tasted 2020. Bananas and wildflowers on the nose! The scent is almost oily. Malolactic fermentation gives it a silky tannic feel on the top of the mouth. Slight hint of bananas and chalk on the end. A surprising long finish. Very nice. I’m a confirmed Chard hater, but this causes me to reconsider my prejudices. — a month ago
