So classic of vintage and terroir, a perfect example of Gevrey in a ripe year.

Last time we had this was nearly 4 years ago - the age has been good to this, but no need to wait much longer in my view. Has that lovely ethereal quality on the palate. Quite restrained but so delicious. Wonderful pairing with roast chicken with mushrooms. Lighter bodied but all there. Really nice burg - one that is just hard to stop drinking.

A bit green / tight upon opening. After decanting for a bit, wine opened up a bit with the fruit coming through. My 2nd bottle and didn’t show as great as the first. Perhaps slightly past its prime?

Floral, sous bois, sappy cherry and blackberry, concentrated fruit but very discreet oak and alcohol (12.5). Great at this level 😋

A delicious pairing with roasted chicken with shallots and garlic. A little green/stemmy when we first tasted, but opened really nicely. Good acid, bing cherry on the palate.

May 26th, 2020From a producer I really enjoy - in fact a 1998 clos de la roche from Lignier was one of the wines that got me very interested in burgundy several years ago. This probably needs a couple more years but was enjoyable with a 2 hour decant. A bit of green stemminess on initial pop, which mostly dissipates. Lots of dark cherry. Very mouth filling with green herbs. Quite balanced with a nice refreshing finish with good acid. For $40 a buy for sure to see how it develops.

2013 - very light bodied and aromatic with a slight spice aftertaste

Mild floral bouquet. Mild again in mouth, lovely violets and soft fruit. Fades quickly but very pleasant

Beautiful floral and fruit nose. Violets. Good immediate taste but a tad thin and fades. Good with fish but not beef or lamb. A pleasure to drink and tease all senses.
