Delicious #chablispremiercru - likely built for the long haul but drinks splendidly young as well. Taut tartness up front on the palate, lemon layered on top of wet stone. Yum! — 3 months ago

Nice! Cigar box nose a hint of black cherry and forest floor. Smooth and well balanced. A bit less complex than some of the better known CDP’s. It drinking well. — 3 months ago

Classic bojo. Rose, blood orange, mushroom. Would have liked a bit more tension to liven it up — 2 months ago

On the tail end of its prime window, but still hitting. Like a mealy yellow apple, not quite browned. Has cider notes but plenty of acid in the mouth for vibrancy. Laser lemon cleaner with toasted oak becomes candied kumquat and sweet clementine.

Theres a lot of beautiful weight and texture and raw power that comes out to play as you let it warm. — 3 months ago

Nose: complex. Beautifully herbal.

Palate: great herbs. Perfect genetic bonding with dense red cherry fruit. — 3 months ago

Really good but also would be good with another year or two of age. Complex - dark fruit, dirt, some tannins and more acid than a typical benovia. We are eating with pork chops and slaw and it’s a perfect match. — 3 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours and alongside Foillard’s “Corcelette” from 2022. The 2014 “Corcelette” from Daniel Boulard pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate stain of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of wild strawberry, pine forest, Juniper berries, forest floor, hot asphalt, sage, leather, and rounded off by the smell of an old, cracked bar of Irish Spring soap from a basement shower. On the palate the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes on the nose. The finishes long and gorgeous. Rustic but beautiful and a brutally honest wine. Wow. Drink now through 2034. — 3 months ago
