Ripe plum, light but noticable tanins, medium bodied, works for burgundy fans and skeptics alike. — a year ago
Oct 2022 disgorgement
Mix of 14/16 vintage with 2017.
Yeasty and good vibe right out of the bottle
As it sits and settles - medium body with a little punch. Less citrus and more stone fruit. Pear flavor.
Really enjoyed this and will search for more as this was last bottle — 3 months ago
Solid for the level. Clearly well crafted. — 5 months ago
Well aware that we were committing infanticide but retail pricing let us rationalize. Big whiff of high quality oak could not hide beautiful orchard fruit and scents of lemon. In the mouth oak dominated but similar to the nose it could not suppress the purity of the fruit. My score reflects today. In a dozen years if things go as planned this will rate much higher. — 5 months ago

Pale to mid Ruby. A sooty earthy savoury red fruited note with raspberry and new leather. The palate is reserved yet with M+ intensity. Delicate yet assertive. Still very fresh for its age. Elegant with enough palate weight to make it totally enjoyable. Benjamin Leroux was the winemaker who has gone on to more accolades with his own label. Jasper Morris thought that this was the best wine made by Benjamin Leroux during his 14 year tenure at Domaine du Comte Armand. Would go on for several more years if you were lucky enough to be holding some. Pommard is another commune which has no Grand Crus but this must be one of the best Premier Crus. I concur with Jasper Morris MW when he had a bottle of this very wine with friends when he said “we were very sad to finish the bottle “. My son Hugh bought this wine for me from Sotheby’s NY in December 2013 and brought it home in his luggage for Christmas that year and I am so glad he did. This is one of the 1001 Wines. — 2 months ago
