Wow. What a wine. I love this Crozes. Nose is full of pepper, grilled meats, blackberry, black raspberry, dark blueberry and lots of crushed granite. Just awesome. Mashed violets now with air. Palate is rich yet energetic with terrific precision and silky depth. Juicy and full of black fruits and crushed granite. Needs air but wonderfully elegant palate with really high quality tannins. Needs air. Air has helped. More lacey and complete. — 4 months ago

An estate that I really like but this vintage had not yet completely convinced me. It was simply the time it took for everything to take place. Beautiful Gamay, dry and concentrated, with a breeding that brings a refined classicism. The mouth is delicate and deep, airy with a more dry and mineral character than the gamay of Beaujolais. A very beautiful Burgundy wine, full of elegance. 2016 finally ready to drink.
Un domaine que j’aime beaucoup mais cette cuvée ne m’avait pas encore complètement convaincu. C’était tout simplement le temps nécessaires pour que tout se mette en place. Très beau Gamay, sec et concentré, avec un élevage qui apporte un classicisme raffiné. La bouche est délicate et profonde, aérienne avec un caractère un plus sec et minéral que les gamay du Beaujolais. Un très beau vin de Bourgogne, plein d’élégance. 2016 enfin prêt à boire. — a year ago

Base champagne of Dhondt Grellet. I get a beautiful balanced nose suggesting a very high end champagne. On the palate I get that vinous quality of still wine popping through. Brioche, yeasty, bread. The bubbles are a bit course and edging towards harshness and that brings me to the rest of the palate where there is plenty acidity but also a bit thin.
A base champagne that is definitely punching above it's weight!
