Damn this was so mineraly, flinty, and savory to me! Like licking a rock. Very impressive but also a little brash at this point, would probably be incredible with some more time — 2 days ago

Delicious, great balance and nice structure. Could be mistaken for a nice burgundy. Great balance of earthy and fruity notes. Would probably be better after more time. Also tried the 2022 which was good but too young — 2 months ago

So easy to forget how good a simple class can be. I’ve tasted this so many times, but almost always in horizontal lineups together with its more prestigious siblings and instead I just opened a bottle and a weekday and really thoroughly enjoyed it. Lees, mouthfeel and acid balance. It delivers so much by showing off so little.  — 2 months ago

Nice soft Apple and apricot jam with very light vanilla but not too intense in terms of oak. Light. Lovely. — 8 days ago

I read an article recently where the author felt that this 1er cru probably deserved to be a Grand Cru. Whilst this was very good I think it is right at Premier Cru. Initial notes were salinity amongst the apple, citrus flavours and a touch of beeswax. The following night tasted more “new World “. This was very enjoyable but needs to develop more complexity. I will leave my remaining bottle for a couple of years. — 2 months ago
