Très beau vin avec un fruité noir, assez mur et généreux, équilibre exemplaire.

Gorgeous wine with generous dark fruit, firly ripe but so well balanced. 91-92

Blind tasted this guy in a row of three Burgundies. Ow ow! Poopy af nose with smoke and earth funk. Palate was charmingly silky - tannins were not obnoxious, even without decanting. I assumed this was older than it was just based on the non-fruit profile.

Bright, fruity cherry with zippy acidity and forest floor notes. Simple, but pleasurable.
