Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three days. Consistent throughout. The 2021 “Grange le Duc” pours a garnet color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous notes of ripe strawberry, Montmorency cherry, salmiakki, freshly ground black pepper, dried green herbs, salt water taffy, and sous bois. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium+. This is a classic, rustic expression of Burgundy that simply blows my mind. The nose alone, slays. Drink now through 2031. — 17 days ago

Worried at might be over the hill. Not so! Still a nice drinking Red Burg though wouldn’t wait any longer for sure. Higher rating than previous. Good with the pork dishes from Amah for recent dinners. The red cherry fruits and balanced you’d expect. Punches above weight class for sure. — 6 years ago

🏅 Rating 89/100 (3,9⭐)

White flowers and summer herbs. Oak is gentle and not overwhelming. Creamy milky notes. Citrus finish and good length. Medium body and satisfying concentration puts it above its regional hierarchy.

Stylistically it gravitates more towards Mersault which is home village for Domaine Jacques Prieur. It sets a good base line and high expectations for the rest of Domaine wines in the portfolio.

Medium lemon colour. On the nose this is quite mineral and expressive at first , taught lemon peel and some oyster shell , touch herbal , orange . With time this becomes more fruit driven , with lots of ripe citrus . Quite rich and ample on the palate with lemon richness and some grapefruit , with a touch of butter , just a touch of chalk dust to balance , creamy mouthfeel. Balanced but not particularly fresh acidity . Good length , quite rounded and generous in style . Still quite young but drinking well from now and over the next 5 or so years . — 2 months ago

For me, the connection to Ch. Margaux is in name only. While it’s a highly competent wine, there’s no hint of the elegance, nuance and intrigue of the flagship wine. While that might be related to vintage (2009 is not generally know for subtlety or nuance), I’ve had this wine in different vintages with similar returns. Fun for a night. — 5 years ago

On the nose: a touch of reduction to start that morphs into smoke, pure meyer lemon, lime, soft vanilla, and fantastic richness. On the palate, a touch of oaky bitterness, but excellent acidity, more meyer lemon, lime, loads of hi-toned mineral notes. Fnatastic density and good length. — 6 years ago

Maybe an off bottle that saw some heat but the cork didn’t hint at it. Underwhelmed for such a great premier cru — 7 years ago

Quite rich and ripe fruited , almost peach and apricot , on the palate more taut and elegant, very nicely balanced . Will age quite well but very enjoyable at the moment. A rewarding wine — 8 years ago

Medium straw color; smells like yellow apple and maybe jasmine on the nose; medium acidity; tastes like star fruit, saline, and a hint of butter with a long finish. I'm really enjoying the minerality. — 3 years ago

Clearly on the downside of its optimum drinking window. Low acidity, a pronounced saline component, oyster shell and minimal lift. I wanted more. — 6 years ago

Opulent and complex. Green apple, peach, a bit pipe apple, brioche, fresh bread dough, chalk, sea shells, and hint of toasted nuts. Savory and crisp at the same time. Splendid acidity. Super energetic mousse, though lacking a bit refinement.
Base wine is 2011, disgorged 2018. This and the Bollinger Special Cuvée are two of my favorite NV Champaign from larger houses. With 40% reserved wine averaged 10 year old, the CH Brut Reserve no doubt is a better value. — 6 years ago

My first time trying the CH rosé champagne. Their Brut is my favorite NV champagne, so I was glad to finally get my hands on some of this. Not surprisingly, I loved it. Similar to the Brut, certainly a battle between fruit and savory yeasty notes, but more strawberry skin and rhubarb pie adding some spice to it. It’s got that streak down the middle showing the older vintage wines they add to these (which I love) adding a bit of English biscuit and caramel. — 7 years ago
