What. A. Nose. Clay, dry clay and wet clay, olive, game, red berry fruit, granite and very stoney. Smells so old school and very stoney. Elegant and so pure. Beautiful. Very pure. Gorgeous black cherry as well and blackberry. Really compelling. Palate is super juicy and clean. Gorgeous mouthfeel and super stoney complexity. Balanced, clean and so pure. Inner mouth aromas are violets. Awesome. The stonier side of St. Joseph. Long chewy and very velvety tannins. Really great. Sappy tiny berry fruit intensity as well on the finish but the stones wash it all away. — 2 years ago
Aurelien Palthey makes huge strides every year with this cuvée. Less oak, more riveting acidity. Lush and tropical, but it’s from the 50+ year-old vines, not overripeness and cheap cellar tricks. One of the best 2017 white Burgundies I’ve tasted. — 3 years ago
Gorgeous precise nose. Clay, graphite, mineral as all can be. Some gamey, wild feral note as well but also profound blackberry and red berry fruit. Gorgeous nose. Complex and concentrated with loads of minerals and full dry yet ripe tannins. Finishes with loads of granite and graphite and juicy fruit hints. Needs 45 minutes but it is all there. — 2 years ago
Love the cherry fruit. — 2 years ago
Gorgeous, cloudy garnet color, with ripe, brambly raspberry, garrigue, with a strong mineral core. Refreshing 100% Cinsault at only 11% ABV. — 2 years ago
