Outrageous! Even in the flood of thanksgiving wines, this stood head and shoulders above the din. Selfishly, I’m glad only 3-4 of us were partakers. By far, one of , if not the very best U.S. Pinot Noir in my experience. Wonderful nose and balance in all things.
We shall have to wait for a non-holiday quaff for greater exposition.

All smiles in the exposition, but the climax some two hours in was truly breathtaking. It was all mineral, mineral, mineral - the undeniable theme of this tale! So much so that it even permeated the nose, with chalky aromas mingled in with notes of cherries, strawberries, roses, and spices, incense almost. And the palate, oh the palate - just brimming with limestone energy. It’s hard to believe there’s just fruit in the bottle. The chalky, saline flavours and the grainy tannins made the rock almost palpable in the glass. Ah, such persistent minerality. Most definitely the best showing in the evening, but could potentially be legendary with time. — 2 years ago

red and black fruit, floral, smoke, black pepper, full body, glossy. Med + acid, med tannin. A very big wine but still finds balance. ⚡️🔥👌 — 6 years ago

Astonishing find, single bottle from AA way back, powerful, subtle, complex, mouth-coating, yet lifted into long finish. Wow. From ‘30s vines and just missed 1cru due to slanted exposition. Stunner — 11 days ago

Way more expensive than normal and you can definitely taste it. Strong and intense yet well balanced, would save for special occasions. — 2 years ago

2024. Single parcel, 500 m altitude, granite and clay soils, south exposition. 100% Gamay Saint-Romain. Very young still, but very nice complexity, freshness, spiciness and length. Very nice minerality. — 2 months ago

2022 vintage.From a vineyard on a hillslope with south-southwest exposition on chalky calcareous soils (aka "grous" or "griottes"). Light on its feet, like an elegant ballerina, with exemplary purity of fruit and balance. Absolutely delicious. Abv. 13%. — 2 years ago

Expresses its windy exposition and kaolin clay soils, the fruit is dialed and taught with firm tannins driving the wine through the finish. Mineral underpinnings. Despite its nerve, the classic D&R buoyant fruit emerged. Would like to see it in 1-2 years to see where it is. — 6 years ago
