Lots of sun drenched orchard fruit on the nose, confirmed on the palate. Ripe pear and apple, some baking spices but not overpowering. Medium plus finish. I think the balance of the fruit and acidity is off; 14.1 percent abv; if it was 13-13.5 with a slightly less ripe fruit profile and more acid it would be better. — 8 months ago

9.7

Sweet and savoury nose of ripe red fruit, cherry, currant, vegetal notes, Brussel sprout, cauliflower soup, cucumber, leather, underbrush, mushroom and Asian spices. On the palate the wine showed sweet, ripe red fruit, cherry, currant, vegetal notes, cucumber, tobacco, spices, caramel as well as mineral and balsamic notes, paired with medium-plus lively acidity, fully integrated tannin, a smooth mouthfeel and incredible length. The fruit became less pronounced as time passed, to the benefit of the tertiary notes. A medium-bodied, medium-complex, well-balanced red Burgundy that drank young for its age and seemed to be good for another 10+ years. I liked it a lot. 93 — 11 years ago

Dark garnet color. Complex aromas of lavender, violets, rose petals, red cherries and cinnamon. Red, blue and black berry fruit flavors with touches of baking spices, orange zest and fresh basil. Beautiful earthy note on the long finish. Medium bodied with soft tannins tannins and nicely balanced acidity. Delicate but bold at the same time. Excellent! — 9 months ago

One of the better DDOs I’ve opened in a long time. Purity is the word that pops to mind over and over again with this wine. Sings with bright red cherry fruit and has impeccable balance that you can’t poke holes in. — 8 years ago

Big producer, but a really stellar wine. Everything you'd want in a Chablis. Got this for $5 on the clearance shelf at an Albertsons. Kudos to the wine buyer, shame on you general wine buying public. If it said Chard on the label it would have been sold long ago. — 9 years ago

Initially thought the wine was premoxed but eventually came around. Little minerality, likely resulting from vintage but enough fruit and complexity to keep the wine enjoyable. — 11 years ago

Trying the 2012. Very nice with hint of cherries. Been so used to the US Pinots of late that I missed going back to the Burgundy region. This wine is excellent. — 9 years ago

This really is ground-breaking Pinot. It drinks exactly how it shouldn't, and it's fantastic. Young and bright like this is great, aroma mellows to bright cherry yet starts will hints if spice. Pallet is juicy and acidic, a wonderful wine to crush, but is intense in a very unexpected and pleasant way. The Bourgogne for the Rhone drinker. — 10 years ago
