The nose showcasing the perfectly ripen fruits with a richness and freshness. More cherry notes than dark plum that one would expect from Napa. Intense flavors glides over the palate effortlessly like an Olympic ice skater. Silky tannins lead to long soaring finish.
A young elegant beauty.

Nose has warmed strawberry, tangerine, apricots and wet roses. Quite expressive tonight, marked improvement from our prior several months earlier.

Palate has under-ripe strawberry, cool Clementine slice, (light) fresh cherries and wet slate. Nice acidity and refreshing finish. Decanted 90m.

Truly, Summer in the glass on a beautiful evening.

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the the Boston Pops Orchestra. Our Conductor Keith Lockhart is leading an all John WILLIAMS program, with Mr. Williams (hopefully) sharing some of his wonderful stories to accompany the scores.

The program includes selections from..Superman, Heidi, Jaws, The Towering Inferno, Memoirs of a Geisha Oliver, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Olympic Fanfare & Theme, JFK, Schindler's List, The Witches of Eastwick, Solo: A Star Wars Story, The Empire Strikes Back, The Force Awakens and...Star Wars. So to say we're going to be well versed into the JW catalog will be the understatement of the evening for sure!!! — 3 years ago

Fix is one of my favourite Greek beers. Good balance of malt and hops with a nice light carbonation and flavour. — 8 months ago

Superb, sublime & smooth - S to the 3rd power. Has a fantastic ride from nose to tongue with a finish that is like an Olympic diver entering the water without a giant splash from 40ft…it’s just that smooth. I’m suddenly wishing I would have purchased another bottle. Mature red fruit, masterful finish and a lingering note that just speaks to near perfection. Buy 2 of these at a time! — 3 years ago

Explosive bubbles that quickly dissipate.
Very lifted red fruit and florals that make it hard to take your nose out of the glass. The palate is like an Olympic high jumper with ripe red fruit, cranberries and minerals speeding down the length of your tongue then lift off into a ball of vinous goodness. Young and acidic. My only nit-pick is the finish , could have been longer but that could be the result of the tightly wound structure . — 3 years ago

This was surprising in a good way. I expected a burly wine, like a burly NYC night club bouncer. Instead I got a lithe Olympic athlete. No fat on this wine - big but a balanced. Tangerine peel made a surprising appearance. — 5 years ago

I’m an East coast Jersey girl hanging on the Pacific Northwest for the week, staying in Olympic National park for the next two days. I’m drinking only local wines and headed to vineyards later this week. I love this wine because of where I am, otherwise I’d just like it. Xo — 9 months ago

More balanced than an Olympic gymnast. Tight and restrained at first then opens up to blackcurrant, vanilla and spice. Lovely finish. — 3 years ago

Nose has pear slice, orange zest, various under-ripe stone fruits, pineapple core and yellow flowers; not overly expressive at this time.

Palate has tart pineapple, orange peel, slightly chalky, yellow apple and mild barrel flavors (more new than neutral?). Decent finish, but seems a little closed here as well.

90m decant; Note to future self, check again 2022-23-ish.

Winery Notes:
"Le Clos du Château" is essentially a vineyard of approximately five hectares that sits in front of the Château de Puligny and is entirely enclosed by walls. This facilitates our bio-dynamic farming methods.

Classified as Bourgogne AOC, this vineyard is remarkably well situated in the village on the border of the Puligny-Montrachet vineyards. The deep soil, consisting of silt and clay gives the wine a lovely generosity.
