Patrick Arnould passed over 2009 & 2010, but decided to make this 2011- a strange decision on paper. This all old-vine Pinot blanc de noir has it where it counts- in the bottle. Only 60 bottles for the USA, now 59. This seems lighter than past vintages, but still has that Nutella like hazelnut character that screams Verzenay. I will wait a year or two to have my next bottle for sure... But this long wine sure did go down easy last night! — 7 years ago

Nice bang for the buck, a bunch of red fruit and the right amount of orange wine sour (don’t hate the description- it’s refreshing). Love the producer, can’t go wrong with this Grand Cru. — 3 years ago

Surprisingly, one I just haven’t gotten around to trying.

It’s very light on its feet. Micro oxygenation, lime & lemon pulp, grapefruit, white peach, slivered almonds, nougat, vanillin, notes of cream, delicate chalkiness & volcanics, saline, sea fossils, touch of yeast, lively acidity, clean, elegant, polished finish. — 3 years ago

A mistake to open this so early. At first it was acidic and slightly disjointed, but 2 hrs of air allowed it to show ita potential. On the nose: very rich, with brioche, vanilla, loads of dense fruit to back it up. On the palate, fantastic acidity, lemon oil, rich mousse and great density, some wild strawberry. Long finish. Revisit with 《significant》additional bottle age. — 4 years ago

2000 vintage. Blend of Chardonnay and Pinot. Toasty, brioche, nutty, but still fresh. Apples and pears. Elegance and power. Delicious. — 7 years ago
