Deep sous bois. Very red, very Côte de Beaune, but good concentration. A bit rustic, but satisfying

Nice cherry and subtle herbs, hints of minerals. Aroma was juicy and a little cake when tight.

2009: opening up wonderfully now, lots of minerality, chalky, graphite notes, red fruits a plenty. Cherry, strawberry, lightly oaky, leather. Light saline note. Light sweet spice. Light bodied but punching above its weight, acidic, but only lightly grippy, lots of sour cherry, bright and crunchy. A chalky grainy style. Drink up in next 2-3 years.

Just a lovely Burgundy, nothing showy or fancy, but smooth, soft, pretty fruit, intriguing depth, a really drinkable and delicious wine.

A really lovely, pure expression of traditional Burgundy. It's nice to see wines like this at a fair price making a comeback.

Pinot Noir. Red fruit. Medium-bodied. Lacks complexity
