Textbook wine from this corner of Burgundy. Outstanding nose, featuring earth, mushroom, dark fruit, and a peppery/brackish note. Satisfying on the palate. Good stuff. Bottle #2 (and #3) at Asta.

Bright and lively, buzzy cherry and tart strawberry. An unusual barnyard to it. Nice. - Gramercy Tavern always so good

Much too young but ... when paired with red meat it unveils its potential : superb nose of sour cherry, blood, a bit of térébenthine too. Some spices. A profound, intense nose that makes us think and reflect on the wine. The palate is much too young but the sour cherry little song plays again among subtle tannins and along a long acid backbone that wants to go the extra mile. Red berries play a little part in this piece and raspberry comes at last. Very nice work. Would love to come to it again in 5-7 years. Fun fact : we are currently spending Christmas time with the in laws in Warsaw, Poland. This winemaker is of polish descent. His great grandfather came to France in the early years of the 20th century to make wine in burgundy. It's quite consistent with our life story that we open this wine during our Christmas diner!
