There is an increasing case that the 22’s are even better than I thought out of barrel. This is insane.

Outrageous confectionery nose of red cherry fruit and cherry flower. The confectionary quality is the most kinked out I have ever had from this cuvée. Stunning. Gorgeous mineral backbone as well and so stunningly aromatic. Palate is remarkable with unreal confectionary fruit and gorgeous supple tannins and pitter patter minerality. True finesse on the mid palate and lovely mid palate amplitude. Super fresh and that tart/sweet and ripe fruit on the palate is glorious. Such an amazing finish as it becomes part of your mouth.

What a nose. Essence of violets. Mid season cherry. Strawberry. So old school. Ephemeral. Cranberry and sour cherry as well. Gorgeous. Haven’t smelled a Burg like thus since maybe 2014 vintage and before that 2007 or 2001. Awesome. Palate is punchy and super juicy with terrific early to mid season cherry and awesome freshness and acidity. Some sweet mid season cherry on the finish and gorgeous sappy purity. Elegant and structured. This is so bright. The brightest Brisset I’ve ever had. Succulent and tangy with such fine and persistent tannin. Some red apple on the nose with air. Really wonderful minerality all over this wine. Man is this epically juicy and decidedly red fruited.

Nose: sensual. Mid season cherry fruits. As it opens awesome lilacs.

Palate: delicious fresh cherries. Just enough acidity. Luscious. Silky texture. Utterly delicious. Great palate vibrancy.

Man. This is sooooo much better than a normal Bourgogne rouge.

Very nice Pinot from a producer I deeply respect. I think this could use more time, with more and more air this continued to come alive. Wonderful mouthfeel. Quite bright both on the nose and the palate. Finish has some nice pleasing bitterness and earth with just enough acid. Excited to see how this develops over time.
