Fresh, elegant, graceful, precise. All words that come to mind whenever I taste this wine. Disg 4/2018 — 3 months ago

Serious cellar potential, and that is probably where this one belongs for awhile. Very primary, dense, juicy and structured. Crunchy wild berries, gravelly mineral character and slightly herbaceous. This bottling needs more time than even the grand reserve Juliénas because of its much shorter elevage and early release time. It will surely reward, but showing some mutedness now. — a day ago

17.5/20 (93/100) Яркий и насыщенный аромат сушеных яблок и груш, сухих белых грибов, табака, бриоши и каучука. Тельное с высокой кислотностью. Сдобное тесто и табак доминируют во вкусе. Экспрессивное. — 4 days ago

Pale Salmon, fine bubbles with a creamy mousse and aromas of fresh red fruit with yeasty notes. On the palate ripe plum and strawberry flavors, vivid acidity, dry with mineral tones. Medium+ finish with good balance ending creamy with fruit, mineral and yeast tang. Excellent value as a Champagne alternative! Reserve is a bit better the non-reserve. Tasting Sample. — 23 days ago

Another good run-in with the dreaded 04' red Burgundy vintage, another wrong guess in a blind. Drank with the 04' Meo Brulees, which I thought was the better wine despite them both overcoming most of the vintage's greenness. This leans more on the rich side, more brooding, but still manages to remain juicy and mineral. Nose was perhaps less interesting than the Meo, and the oak still a little awkward at this stage. Finishes quite tart and long. I think time will bring it more balance. Nice wine, but not the style I prefer. — 11 days ago

Color of saturated gold, beautiful. Nose of nutty, buttery flavors, spice, sprite, dense flowering note like Riesling, some mineral, and some ripe pineapple and banana. Taste is mouthful with zesty tinkling flavors leading the way, spicy, and less sweet than suggested by nose. Second sips has more sweetness from honey, same spice, and more zesty rind. Aftertaste is dominated by spicy taste from alcohol and a bit short of complexity. I do feel the nose alone earns her a nice rating. — 6 days ago

Pretty and complex, a morphing witch’s brew of a wine. Time has really drawn everything into focus here, with aromas of sweet berry fruits, pine needles, my camphor wood armoire, and Clement Street Chinese medicinal herb&mushroom shops. Silky and resolved, lush in texture and fruit while still being quite lithe in body. A stunner, and I’m lucky to have scooped up several more. Enjoyed with crispy fried chicken cutlets, roasted root veggies and wild rice. — 22 days ago

Very enjoyable super crisp Riesling with electric acidity and a touch of sweetness. Paired perfectly with my spicy tofu veggie dinner. — 2 months ago
