I’m a huge fan of Loire Cab Franc and this wine is deep and rich. Forest floor and coffee notes on the palate. Black lush fruits. Very balanced and finessed. One of my favorite Saumur wines!!! — 12 hours ago

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru has a superior bouquet: wonderful delineation, control and mineralité, sophisticated and charming. The palate is medium-bodied with finely spun tannins, a taut line of acidity (this feels like the pH is lower than its peers) that imparts tension throughout. Sapid with raspberry, strawberry, black pepper and sous-bois on the finish, this is an excellent Premier Cru from Mortet. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, October 2024)

Didn’t love this - aroma was classic Burgh fruit but palate didn’t match - overly musty/underwhelming - maybe needs some age. Or the sons aren’t up to the dads standard — 4 months ago
Epic Aligote. The best vintage of this I’ve had. Perfect balance of reduction, texture and nutty, umami goodness. — 6 months ago
Ok but not anything to ride home about especially at the price of 83$ way back then. Band-Aid, dark fruit some lime. Should I get rid of the other bottles in my cellar? Need the space. Day one 8.9. Or may be this needs 10 more years? I don’t know. Under Argon for 5 days this gets better. And smooth (although i hate this term). So day 5 under Aragon 9.1. So on average a 9. — 3 months ago
