Little kiss of wood, sea air, mineral and finesse. Rich but energetic, sappy and very pure. This has that Boussey thing where the wine feels generous without losing its line. Delicious, clean, and seriously drinkable. — 25 days ago

Gorgeous and opulent nose of dark cherries, mid season cherries, lovely fresh wet earth, penetrating minerality, decaying leaves and more. Stunning nose. 9.5 nose. Not that complex but so pure and precise. Palate is so juicy and ripe with gorgeous cherry fruit and epic cleansing acidity and terrific freshness. Cuts a swath across the palate Nose starts to get a lipstick like intensity after it airs out. Terrific tannins that are ripe and juicy. Really great energy here and length. Just a terrific value. — 2 years ago

Lovely aromas of cherry, minerals (limestone) cherry flower and some hints of red licorice. Very bright nose and very lifted. Palate is juicy and acid driven with terrific energy and wonderful driving minerality. Slight reductive funk on the nose blows off very quickly. A pretty wine and drinking well now. Very tangy and fresh with pretty tannins that are ripe. Like many 17’s this is gorgeously skinny. — 4 years ago

Barrel sample. Amazing tannins. Dense, mineral, and the explosiveness on the finish is insane. Fine minerality, crazy length, and that Boussey fruit intensity all stretched over a serious frame. This is going to be terrific.

Great aroma. Spice, wood shavings, richer and denser than the 2024s, more round and generous, but still with energy. This has a broader frame and real depth. Big step up in volume and presence. — 25 days ago

lovely and deeply fruited nose but also very mineral under all that. Juicy and super concentrated, silky and sweet but youngest of all the wines and very very mineral finish. Needs maybe 3-7 years. very delicate — 3 years ago

2022/9/6-7 with wagyu rump steak several ways, etc. This was fresher and less volatile than the bottle of 2015 I had just before it - and more reminiscent of that first, best bottle of 2019 Monthelie we had at Kamakura — 4 years ago

Damp earth. Cherries. Mineral. High acid and tight tannin. I’d like to drink this on a Monthelie basis. Wants coq au vin, mushrooms, or grilled salmon. — 6 years ago
