A great wine and site that recently came under DRC ownership and now comes with a 10x price tag.

Open & expressive showing layers of red fruit, spice, mineral with floral notes. This kept improving over time in the glass

This is why I buy burgundy - wow. So happy to find 6 more w/solid provenance after opening this bottle. PNP and it still outdid the Faiveley with a 3 hour decant. Faiveley was also fantastic.

What a nose. Not what I expected from a Corton. Floral nose with a touch of wildness to it. Dark cherries and maybe vanilla. Spices... clove and nutmeg. Immediately thought Morey, but the extremely elegant mouth feel and sweetness on the palate made me think Chambolle. Bit of smoke in the end. One of the last few vintages before the plots were sold to DRC.
