Exceeded my low expectations! What this wine lacks in complexity, it makes up for in value. Dried cherry, cranberry sauce and a bit of earthy mushroom. Texturally pleasing with nice acidity. Paired well with a petite filet mignon. @17.00 bucks a bottle, I owe it to myself to highlight the positive aspects of this wine. I'm glad there's a place in the market for a simple, but well made, inexpensive Burgundy!

2023 vintage. Light-medium body with a consistent palate presence. No über-demonstrative characteristics but no gaping holes either. Pleasant, pretty and unafraid to converse throughout. At $15.10 resto cost a bottle, beyond decent value with most red Bourgogne efforts running me $35-$50 these days. Picked up two cases. The proverbial cheap chicken and the nice price. 03.28.25.

Translucent ruby-garnet. Wound up, reductive. Suspected of Brettanomyces contamination; medicinal and wet band-aid aromas, when first opened. 3 days later, Brett characters gone. Bright fruit with some reductive character. Suspect it was just hyper refuctivr when .1st opened. Good acid backbone. Tannins 50% refined. Would benefit from 5 years bottle age.
