Grabbed a few so I could sacrifice one now. Wasn't sure what to expect, but this was quite good. Came around with lots of air, showing macerated red fruit, limestone nerve and a pleasant vegetal edge. Well extracted tannins balance the live wire acidity. Revisit in a few years...

Easily the best irancy I've ever had, this one is 100% Pinot noir. Good extract, quite dark in colour which is rare from this appellation. Good depth of flavour, fruit, classic minerality plus an enduring finish tie this wine together; pricey for an irancy, but anything from V. Dauvissat is a always worth a punt.

Way less austere than I expected. Nose is subtle with slight dark fruit and stems, palate has hints of soy and is somewhat leafy. Light but not insignificant tannins. Minerality revealing itself slowly
