The Vosne-esque Aux Thorey is showing beautifully at age 14, perfumed and seductive with excellent depth and concentration. It’s dark fruited, black tea and spice tinged and laced with minerality. In a great place. — a month ago

375ml. Translucent dark gold color with subtle orange hues. Beeswax, honeysuckle, and butterscotch on the nose. Past prime but I like it and maybe this is how it’s supposed to be. Gets better with air. Nice depth and a long finish. — 3 months ago
At Cindy David’s NYE shabu dinner. Perfect nicely aged Burg with all that autumnal forest notes. — a month ago
Loved this in a magnum. Tart cherry, earth, and red fruit galore. This is everything Pinot should be. Damn near perfection — 4 months ago

A clear ruby color in the glass with a deeper, darker core. A wide brim and sexy legs. A very provocative nose showcasing the customary Burgundy aromas of ripe cherries, cranberries, and grassy knoll. Violets and mild spice. Beautifully clean funk permeates from the glass and I can’t get enough of it.
Pataille’s range of wines obviously carry a lot of hype and they constantly hit the mark. Lovely, fresh, effervescent wines through and through. Ignore the simple Bourgogne designation because this too, is a cut above. Delightfully juicy with bright acidity, nice structure, and tons of personality to be found here.
This needs around 15-20 minutes of air before she really opens up. Once she does, you’ll find generous red fruits on the palate along with more earth. There’s certainly an ethereal quality to this wine. Like a ballerina, it sways to and fro, always leaving you excited and pleased. And wanting a little more. Have it. — a day ago
