Consistently good everyday wine dinner — 2 months ago
Warm, juicy. Lots of fruit. A hint of overripe fruit. A touch of coconut. — 3 months ago
A generous Le Clos. The nose offers ripe orchard fruit, lemon curd, and a touch of honeysuckle, more Burgundian than maritime. The palate is broad and supple, with layered fruit and well-integrated acidity that provides lift without the usual steely edge. While beautifully balanced and polished, it leans toward richness and charm rather than the taut, mineral austerity typical of young Chablis. — 22 days ago

Previous bottle opened a few months ago was very tired, but tonight we are back to form. Plenty of ripe and lean orchard fruit with a drop of lemon. Lots coming through for a village wine, both in terms of flavors as well as density. Very good now. — 2 months ago

The aromatics are beautiful. The soft, mid dark spices are delicate, swooning and inviting. Slightly candied plum to pudding , blackberries, black cherries, baked strawberries, black raspberries, hint of charcoal, some of the most beautiful baking spices-gentle cinnamon, soft clove, dash of nutmeg, hint of vanillin, forest floor w/ some dry leaves, wafting, understated, dry herbs-sage, mocha powder, some caramel notes, slightly candied to withering; dark flowers, red roses framed in soft lavender & violets.
Beautifully lush entry with some powdery M dry yet velvety tannins. Slightly candied plum to pudding, blackberries, black cherries, baked strawberries, black raspberries, hint of charcoal, some of the most beautiful baking spices-gentle cinnamon, soft clove, dash of nutmeg, hint of vanillin, perhaps the most beautiful, delicately layered spices I’ve had in a red burgundy, dark chocolate baking bar to cake, moist clay with grey volcanic minerals, limestone powder, forest floor w/ some dry leaves, wafting, understated, dry herbs-sage, mocha powder, some caramel notes, slightly candied to withering; dark flowers, red roses framed in soft lavender & violets, round acidity, balance for days, gently structured/tensioned, elegantly polished finish that lasts minutes and lands on micro grained spices.
Hard not to give this a 93 but it is not quite there yet but will get there in another 3-5 yrs with a total 15 yrs plus of good drinking.

First time trying this producer that I’ve seen everywhere the last few years. Was expecting racy and was met with elegance. Really fine and balanced with creamy acids. Medium bodied with ripe citrus, apple, pear, melon, and chalk. — a month ago
