Last bottle the best. Plenty of savory bits like a predominant & pleasant pear skin; also marzipan, quince, & green apple. Beautiful mouthfeel, very expansive, with just enough acidity begging for the next sip. Just a very pretty & food versatile Burgundy that powers way above its Bourgogne label. — 4 months ago

Day 2 notes. Still showing some wood as per usual for this cuvee. But there is so much mint, herbs and wet earth. So gorgeous. Salty as well. Palate is concentrated and elegant not showing any wood and has grand cru grip and structure. Amazing finish. Super pure. Long. Amazing wine. So complex and mineral. — 4 years ago

Unusual color for sure. Like a cross between a rose and a red wine. Nose of spice, flint, dusty cherry fruit, citrus rind (orange), tree bark and some nice minerality. Rustic and charming with a hint of etherealness. Some sweaty, feral notes as well. Palate is fresh, uncomplicated and so juicy. Lithe and pretty with a lovely persistence. Nice mouthfeel and elegant tannins. Great freshness, acidity and persistence. Just a pretty when with a hint of rusticity. Love it. This really comes together with air. Also should be drunk slightly chilled. Maybe cellar temp. It’s much better. Textured and deep. 9.1 to 9.2. Nice complexity develops as well. Lacey. Really good. — 5 years ago

Such a stunning wine. The deliciousness factor is off the charts. Nose has deep dark black cherry, leather and so much limestone. The palate is just unbelievable. The most intense fruit, my goodness. So explosive with lots of grape tannin that is so absurdly sweet. Finishes so mineral. Not that complex but my goodness the fruit and intensity is epic. — 4 months ago

Nose is mineral, apple, apple cider, a hint of reduction as well. These wines always need 45 mins to an hour and a half to come into its own. No matter what vintage or level. Palate is scintillating with energy to burn and lovely richness. Icing on cake texture. Such vivid fruit. Loads of apples and more apples on top of that. Nose getting more apple pie like on the nose. This is so so well made. A wonderful wine. So juicy and long. What a gem this winery is.

Now with air nose gets confectionary. Outrageous basic bottling. — 4 years ago

A slightly better bottle than our prior '17...quite looking ahead to the '18 which I am picking up in a couple weeks and hope to be posting on in early '21.
'17 is still a fine bottle of rosé, no disappointing. — 5 years ago

Especially by comparison to the flawed Berlancourt Champans we had alongside, this bottle seemed well-structured. Loads of lemon, pastry cream, lime and doesn't betray its heat on the nose. On the palate: lovely acidity, good minerality and now showing some salinity. A touch short on the finish, but solid otherwise. — 2 years ago

Extremely enjoyable. Very expressive and deeply characterful on the nose and palate. The fruit leans to very ripe apple and pear, cut with some sweet, ripe Meyer lemons and orange blossoms. Toast, vanilla and baking spices compound the whole experience. With all that said the balance and underlying freshness keep it all together perfectly. Drink now or up to 5 or maybe more years. — 4 years ago
