Nice nose of spice, mid season cherry, dark rustling leaves, wet moss, dark flowers, and lots of mineral. Terrific depth and ebullience on the nose. Palate is ripe and juicy but a bit one note, lacking in energy and the tannins seem a bit much for the vintage. Let’s see where this goes. The tannins melted away but it was boring and correct. — 24 days ago

A producer & wine I purchase every year as it always hits the spot for Burgundy lovers with its red & black cherry, berry fruit, spice, crushed rock mineral & violet. The 19 is youthful but approachable with its generous fruit & spice. — 2 months ago

9.2

A blend from (57%) Estate fruit, and a sizable portion (18%) Mes Filles Vineyard. Medium Ruby color, purple edges, with aromas of ripe fruits, floral and complex spice. On the palate concentrated flavors of raspberry, plum and currants with pepper, tea, herbs, cinnamon and oak, soft tannins on well balanced structure. Full body, long finish, ending with spice, ripe fruit and warm woody tones. Very Nice! — 9 months ago

9.5

Another grower favorite; 75% Pinot Noir / 25% Chardonnay, mostly from 2015 (50%) along with 2014 and 2013 (50%). April 2021 disgorgement (+45 months), which is very evident; 12.5% ABV. High dosage of 6.5g; medium+ body and quite round; crisp on and through finish. Tons of green apple, tangerine, and pear, with an aggressive flower bouquet on the nose. Shows much brighter than the strong Pinot Noir tilt would imply. Delicious …and an absurd value; crowd pleaser. Cheers! — a month ago

Gorgeous aromas. Wow. Floral, meaty and mid to late season red cherries. Pungent! Almost confectionery out of the gates. In such a great spot. So many berries and spice. Woodland berries. 9.6 nose. Ultra glorious. Gorgeous palate if a bit straight with lovely lush cherry fruit and terrific structure and freshness. Tannins a bit firm on the finish but air will resolve that I suspect. Good concentration as well and lift. Really good acids. Let’s see what air does to this. Palate fleshes out but still some unresolved tannin. Not sure if it will go away. Well made but also boring. With air this regressed to a 9.2 from a 9.4. — a month ago
