Jan 28th, 2017Wow 2014 really brought the tide up on this wine, really good Fleurie character with granite, fruit and crunchy acidity.

Oct 18th, 2016Good, but better in previous years. 2013 is thin, very feeble on the fruit, very slight tannins. Still enjoyable, but crossing my fingers for better vintages.

Dec 5th, 20152018. Burgundy color. Very flavorful with ripe plum and light tobacco. Medium dry with pleasant tannins. Long persistence with smoky finish. This is a very pleasant wine.

Sep 15th, 2020One of the most drinkable wines I've had in a long time. Fruity, not too dry, and noticeable spice (black currant) without being overpowering or peppery.
