2011. More bing cherry than the pernard-vergelesses, but a very strong showing as well.. Distinct earthiness on the nose, along with some bright red fruit. The palate is pretty vibrant, showing it still needs some time.. A bit of black tea and spice.. Nice bottle.

Sunny afternoon hanging with family and this was a great compliment. Everyone loved it. Ended up getting onto 2 bottles. It’s OK. I got lots for the long haul. Cheers. Hope everyone is safe, healthy, and enjoying family and friends during this crazy time.

Jun 1st, 2020I had to try one. It’s awesome. So light, the color Is medium garnet but more transparent than most. When I poured I worried this would be too thin, but not the case! The nose is floral, red fruit, and a touch of hay. Light body, but it dances. Cherries, pomegranate, strawberry... really nice. I can’t wait to try the next one after 5+ years and hope I give it time to let in some mushroom, soil, and brown sugar. I’m imagining this with that and think it’ll be a 97.

The nose is pleasing with a sweet intoxicating aroma. Bruised cherries and truffles on the palate. The high acid and pleasing tannins make this a very balanced wine. Got to love village level Bourgogne.

Lovely fruit perfume bouquet. Racy dark cherry and intensely tannic; seems to need another year or, at the very least, substantial aeration (smooths the tannic structure, transforming the experience into silkier fruit). L does not like, but made her decision somewhat early.

Floral and raspberry on the nose, red fruits and spice on the palate, nice tannins on the finish. Still needs a little time 8/30/15
