Quite light ruby garnet , wide garnet rim . A bit funky at first on the nose , touch farmyardy , then opens up to show some cherry , dried rose , touch earthy , herbal notes . On the palate this is again slightly funky , quite edgy acidity , touches of dried cherry , slightly gritty chalky notes . This needs time in the glass to show its best and does get better , but this might not be the best bottle . However , shows it mineral , herbal and dried cherry touches on the reasonable length finish . Drink now and over the next few years . At Restaurant Les Caudalies , Arbois — 2 days ago

Killer nose. Like killer. Lemon oil that is so deep and so precise. Just stunning. Lovely airiness. So deep and fresh. Palate is fantastic. Lemony and tense with great cut and precision. Stunningly pure and fresh. Nose gets some tree bark after air and the concentration and structure here are epic. Wow. What a wine. Long finish. Needs air. Will be back. Nose gets confectionary with air. Really a showstopper. Now with air the complexity and finesse show up in spades. Wow. 9.4 to 9.5. — 3 years ago

Needed something a bit more predictable after that Overnoy. Step right up JJ Girard. Maddeningly consistent. Love this version of a great 1er Cru. Global warming is helping Beaune 1er Crus.

Nose is tight but has lovely spice, dark flowers and black cherries. This is such a serious 1er Cru. Wispy sour cherry, herbs. Super complex and opening by the minute. Fruit filling in big time. Sour cherry, dark cherries, early season cherries. Brambly now. So pretty and deep. Perfect hint of framing oak. Girard is so good. Palate is just gorgeous. Young but awesome. Showing some wood but huge sap, density and really fresh. Girard is always invigorating. Good concentration and really black fruited palate. Black cherries and they are so clear. Long palate staining finish. Persistent. So juicy and with such a serious structure. Plus that just maddeningly consistently delicious Girard fruit. — 4 years ago

Medium lemon yellow . Quite closed at first , this improves with air , actually was finished the following day . White flowers , camomile , quite chalky , a bit funky also . On the palate quite strict and direct , with quite sharp acidity , which does stick out a little bit . Quite lean on the palate On the palate there are notes of lemon , wet stone and white flowers . Quite good mineral , stony length . I can imagine this still ageing quite well , but it probably won’t improve very much . — a day ago

It’s very flavorful yet smooth, no extra leftover smells of fermentation, just clean berry note and reach flavor. Good quality chardone — 10 months ago

That's my jam. Smells kinda funky (nail polish) but tastes incredible. Preserved lemon peel, high acid, long finish. — 3 years ago

Color of rose color rust, and a surprisingly thick body this is a very interesting wine. A bold nose of cranberry with slight notes of cognac and rose, the palate is complex and earthy, with cranberry, raspberry, cracked pepper and floral notes. The finish is long, tingly, mouth coating and lingering with a dry acidity that leaves you continuously interested. — 4 years ago
