Light gold color. Love the nose. A little toast/brown butter, wet straw, appley fruit, a little crushed stone. Straight down the middle on the palate. Good fruit intensity initially, then a little wood, with that limestoney/clay earthiness taking control in the back half of the finish, which is fairly long for a village wine. Decent (medium-low) acidity. Not for long ageing but really nice and a good value for a Cote de Beaune village white. — 24 days ago
Rich dark red fruit and tannic structure - a nice drink now but the wine will approve with age. — 3 months ago

Popped this about 20 minutes ago. Nose is already revving up. Showing earthy cherry cola scents, and a wee bit of toasted autumn spice (or maybe that latter thing is me sitting in the deck on this nice November evening surrounded by fallen leaves). Deep ripe, earthy fruit hits the palate immediately, and then the tannins take over. I know this is too young but I wanted to get a sense of its starting position. Palate clenches a bit after the first whack of fruit and a little astringent on the finish, but I think a couple of years rest will settle it down. Pretty solid 9.0 at present with potential to go a bit higher in a few years. — 3 months ago

Really well done in a lighter-styled red burg. Rather delicate and pure cherry scents, not too tart, not too oozy, accompanied by damp gravelly earth scents. In the mouth it’s very well balanced, fairly soft for such a young wine. Loads of high-toned crushed rock minerality in the savory but bright palate. The cherries are there but hanging back. Nice acidity! This is not for long cellaring but there’s no rush. A very nice roast chicken wine! (PS-one of the things I like about this domaine is that they put a lot of info about the wine on the side label, unusual for Burgundy producers.) — 12 days ago
