Compared to my prior 2008 bottle tasting note - holding up beautifully for this 1995 GC burg. sour and stewed sour cherry and subtle raspberry. Stem notes and singed bramble in background. Effortless to drink. — 22 days ago
Winner winner chicken dinner. Intensely complex with sourdough and cheese rind aromas, lemon pith and cardamom. A showstopper. Will stock up on these. Move over Raveneau (at a fraction of the price). Chablis cannot get much better. — 5 months ago

Stewed plum, raspberry coulis, granite and wet stone finish. Hides the alcohol well. — 6 months ago

Light Golden color, apricot, jasmine, and peach compote. Complex with a long finish and string of acid throughout. Just Divine. Hard to imagine Alsace gets much better than this ! — 6 days ago
