2018 vintage. Picked the last two bottles at Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa, CA for $119 a btl. Had not seen this producer in the wild since the 1994 vintage.The namesake producer passed away years ago and the daughter has been making the wines for some time now. The old wines I was familiar with were dialed slightly down from the Coche-Dury style but still oaky and fleshy. This was more delicate, light-medium body, with floral attributes and a splash of white pepper. Saved a glass' worth and tasted the following day. Wine had gained a little weight to medium body and the complexity fanned out like a spider web on the palate whereas, beforehand, it was a steady stream of solo notes. Should have decanted but will do so with the last bottle. And yes, I asked if they had any Chenevottes or Caillerets or Maltroye or the like in the back at the time of purchase. Alas...nein. 11.4.25. — 6 months ago

An exceedingly pleasant weekday Burgundy. A pretty dark plum color in the glass with a nose that blossoms. Nice floral accents that really shine here with a touch of tobacco. Some of the cleanest funk that I can remember. Beautiful.
Still so young with many more miles to go, this is drinking nicely now. Bold with plenty of character and charm. A smooth pour and easygoing for the most part with a bit of depth. Medium intensity on the palate with strawberries, cherries, and raspberries. Herbs and oak with beautiful earthiness. A pretty little Burg. — a year ago

2022 vintage. Last tasted 9.10.25 (9.3). Staff Burgundy tasting. Still gratuitous. Still tangy and bangy. Quintessential toxic relationship in a bottle. Medium/medium-heavy body. 2.17.26. — 3 months ago
