Not bad but paled vs the 96 Rousseau Chambertin. A little match stick in the nose, disjointed. Beefy and young still but not fun at the moment. — 6 months ago
What an absolutely beautiful Pinot Noir. We had the 2016 vintage. Amazing after every pour, the more the bottle opened up. I ate a beautiful skate fish whilst my friend enjoyed her pheasant. — 7 months ago
Terrific rich and deep nose of savory minerals and an elite airiness. Also a hint if that classic Pommier richness. Pure and fresh. Palate is deep, rich, savory and incisive. Mouth-filling and deep. Awesome structure and finesse. So well made. Flavors of lemon, lemon pith and some savory elements. Has years to go. Truly great. — 4 years ago
Bottle empty. This was Damn good. — 6 years ago
1996 vintage. At Ryozanpaku in Kyoto, Japan. Medium garnet - slight bricking around the edge. Medium intensity of aromas, manure, earth, blackberry, violet creams and savoury spices. Fairly complex if slightly mature. On the palate, good fresh acidity, medium body and noticeable rounded tannins. The mid palate is flavoursome and impressive. The finish is slightly short. Probably won't benefit from further ageing. However, I suggest giving the wine 30 minutes of air before serving. — 7 years ago

A very decent burger for the price. Dark, almost dark ruby. Brooding and savoury. Dark and blue fruit, wood spice, chocolate and a touch of mushroom funk. Simple and a bit short but good flavour profile. — 6 months ago
The greenness of the vintage shows through but it was still enjoyable—maybe slightly past peak. — 6 months ago

Thank God it seems like lots of people do not get bachelet. I see this stuff lingering around the local stores. More spice characters than I could ask for in the category. I'm not even going to get specific. This is by far the best CdN year after year. — 8 years ago
Ruby in color with a ruby grapefruit edge. Red berry and Manhattan cherry aromas with floral and cedar notes. Bright acidity with fresh red fruit flavors. — 10 years ago

Pnp perfection with a captivating and explosive layered bouquet of candied red cherries, rose petals, coffee beans and exotic spices. The palate is luxuriously silky with obvious grand cru weight and intensity and there is stunning purity and elegance to balance such power and exhilarating energy. An incredible combination. Its spice and mineral laced finale just keeps on going. One of the best CDLR’s in the biz was perfect tonight. — 8 months ago
