22 Burgs let’s goooo! Huge expressive nose of sultry cherry fruit, cherry compote, gorgeous red berries and lots of sweet earth. So inviting. Palate is divine. Crunchy and sweet with wonderful freshness and purity. Lip smacking succulence. Dark cherries on the nose with air and such lift! Great depth and concentration and such friendly, sapid fruit.

What a nose. Huge early to mid season red cherry. Nothing black here. Loads of dusty earth and just so classic and appealing. Palate is so juicy and full of energy and red cherry fruit. Teeming with energy and sap. Wow this is like 96! So classic and timeless. Lovely note of earth on the palate nose that is echoed on the palate. Ripe tannin and so so juicy. Wonderful wine. As classic as it gets. Nose with air gets crazy. Cherry flower, florals of other sorts and fruit is more expansive and brambly.

Amazing value Burg! More fruit depth than I was expecting, and touch of old world charm. Very drinkable

Best young Cabottes ever. Knockout nose of lipstick like intense bright and vivid cherry fruit. Lovely earth tones as well. Really jumps out of the glass. Palate is decadent and ripe with awesome mid season cherry fruit and great richness allied with just ridiculous freshness. Great. 18 so good at lower levels for early drinking. What a mid palate and terrific balance. Julien nailed this.

Always so great. Such a lovely wine. Big cherry on the nose, spice, plum, lovely mineral and loads of limestone. Complex, juicy and so refined. Really amazing fruit starts to develop after 30-40 minuets. Just huge fruit with terrific energy, volume and amplitude. Fresh and pure with just a hint of rusticity. Can short term age for 3-5 years as well. Hard to keep hands off.

Medium reddish purple. Dark berries, pomegranate, and dried leaves on the nose. Tart cherry and cranberry fruit with pleasant minerality on the palate. Firm acidity and only 12.5% ABV. Really nice value Burgundy.

2017 Burgundy is awesome and there is plenty of it. Big, open fruity nose of cherry essence. So clean. So aromatic. Sour cherries and almost high toned. Stunningly juicy and sweet with awesome texture, depth and freshness. Great acidity. Terrific wine.
