Serious wine, whatever that means. Nose of deep red fruits with an undercurrent of freshly cut grass and a hint of earthiness. Still a bit primary and tannic, but still just intense, focused and ethereal. Much more chambolle than NSG — 7 years ago
Mum likes it and she hates red wine. Liquorice on the nose. — 10 years ago
Pour it (decanter), and let it breath for 3 hours. It will go from bad, to absolutely magnificent! — 10 years ago
Silky concentrated rich ripe fruit with a lingering smokey earthiness. No details of the blend on the label but a GSM mix most likely. — 11 years ago

From the Meritage Wine Market in Encinitas 110$. Interesting that the rating for this white burgh is all over the place. However this is very nice! Pears, hazelnut and ripe apples. Honey. A nice white burgh perhaps a touch too rich and big at 14%. Drink now. — 8 months ago
A marvelous showing for the Vergy 2008. Light on its feet yet gorgeously complex, right in between first and secondary aromatics. — 8 years ago
Great wine for everyday drinking. Good body and fruit. Pairs nicely with so much. — 10 years ago

Blinded, I honestly didn’t think much of it. It just didn’t have any defining character or complexity to stand out in the line up. Found this note off the interweb, which is relevant:
This is a relatively newly planted single vineyard that formerly was the land of the Monks of Vergy, and is situated along the path they took daily to reach the abbey of Saint-Vivant from Vosne-Romanée. It is at a higher elevation and looks down on the famous Grand Cru sites of Vosne Romanee; the soil here is clay limestone.
The wine is characterized by a dense purple color. The taste of wine is fresh, generous, with crisp acidity and a crisp nuances of oak wood. The finish is a little bluff. Aromatic bouquet of wine abounds with tones of ripe and juicy red fruit. — 2 years ago
Quintessential French rosé for refreshing, sweet (but not too sweet) summer sipping. Can't go wrong with the region... I think I'm in love 👌 — 10 years ago
2016/3/8 at Wine Sellar & Brasserie, San Diego. My first time trying this producer. Seems more new world style, fruit generous, lower on acidity (perhaps due to vintage). It does have a good integrated sense of terrior though. Very easy drinking, very enjoyable. — 10 years ago
Maroon core turning light brick at the edges. Medium bodied. Soft tannins. Whiff of bull. — 11 years ago
