My wife and I visited this winery in ‘93. Wines were great, but I haven’t seen them anywhere since then! They seem to fly under everyone’s radar here on the East Coast.

2022 vintage. From Coravin. The same vintage Overture shows better currently and likely for quite some time. 2022 a fairly pilloried Napa vintage. Feel this could be similar to the 2011's that are finally showing to the best of their abilities now. Give this a decade and a half but don't expect it to eventually show top-notch like the 1987, 1994, 1997, 2001 or 2012. 6.24.26. — 2 days ago

2023 vintage. Last tasted 3.18.26 (9.2). Light-medium/medium body with golden flavored accents here and there. Some lanolin, more lemon. Kiss of spicy oak. Tastes like declassified Puligny grapes as it has length/detail on the finish with splashes of subtle mineral qualities. Resto cost was $30 a bottle. Triple S-Super summer sipper. 6.23.26. — 3 days ago

2018 vintage. Big. Dark. Brooding. Hissing. Pricey for what is is tho. I'd take Beau-Sêjour Bécot St. Émmie for (nearly) half the price any day, or night, of the week vs this. 6.24.26. — 2 days ago

9.2

2023 vintage. Had approx 9 months ago but didn't post here apparently. Sub-$30 a bottle resto cost. Golden, medium body with substantial oak but not as much as Meursault used to AXE Body Spray everything with. Thank whomever for the Reformation. Emphasis on drinkability with spicy, appled oak and B+ acidity. Moovin und groovin (k)noow without elbows, shoulders and knees. Absolutely beyond p*ssed that Meursault, Puligny and Chassagne jumped the pricing shark 2-3 years ago. The silver lining is that it has forced old farts (raises both hands) entrenched in their ways to reevaluate/taste overlooked/undervalued both white and red Burgundy efforts in order to restore semi-affordable Burgage on menus/lists. 6.23.26. — 3 days ago

9.4

2010 vintage. Decanted and tasted immediately. Lean and mean. Medium body but only because of the concentration. Dark fruits and plenty of espresso influence evident. Slightly less delicate than other P-C efforts fortunate enuff to taste. Tighter than the outstanding 2009 upon initial impressions. Needed more time to coddle this one but couldn't carve it out. 6.20.26. — 6 days ago

I might have exited the planet by the time the well made 2010 Bordeaux’s peak.
