Good solid Gevrey-Chambertin. Deep, dense, earthy. Decent structure with mellow integrated tannins. Moderate finish. Later in the evening with air some dark cherry came through. — 4 years ago

This showed more of an austere style showing a stony, flint, chalky, mineral & crushed rock. — 5 years ago

🏅 Rating 93/100 (4,3🌟)

Double blind tasting

Greenish nose. Tense. Develops with creamy notes, nutty, rich and mouth filling. Saline minerality. Already very drinkable now.

Very well crafted Chardonnay. We took wild guess if that was Piemonte.

BBM is effectively a lieu-dit of Batard-Montrachet. Lacks the breed of upper Grand Crus. Located at the bottom of the slope with a richer soils. — 6 years ago

A dense and chewy Clos De Vougeot. Black cherry, underbrush, damp soil and truffle. The fruit came through with some coaxing but it is very reluctant. It’s either a hold or a never will be. — 6 years ago

@Ted Mandes @Steve Colanero @Christine Christine's WOTN. Such an elegant example of a superb old world wine. This was next to an Aubert PInot and the differences were amazing! Balance, harmony, integration, beautiful subtle notes vs. the Aubert Pinot. Christine stated that she preferred this to Aubert! Amazing bottle. I'm not sure how much evolution can be gained from further aging. I think it reached its max. Stunning! — 7 years ago

Ik denk m’n eerste Meursault….

Bevalt goed! Hier kan ik wel aan wennen 😂.

Zachte zuren, ziltig en zalvend. Bitters komen in de finale. Lichte boterzuren, granny smith, iets toast, fijne mineralen/grassig. Abrikoos, sterfruit. Prima, lekker, maar geen wauw.
Bij deze ene gaat het desondanks niet blijven.

Didn’t know they did this bottling or Chablis period. Score is more on potential as the components are there just too young at this point. — 6 years ago

Didn’t do that much for me. Some age would likely help. — 7 years ago

Has evolved into a fantastic wine. Sweet Apple, almost cider like. Also lemon and some spice. Fantastic. — 7 years ago

Well structured...orchard fruit and nutty weight carry through. Emma described it as 'ham-like, which I think is perfect. Roast peanut shells. A well-made balanced expression. I'll take a case. — 9 years ago

Light, bright, tart cherry, nice finish. So balanced and well done. Can’t wait to see what this family does with Williams Selyem and CA grapes in the years ahead — 3 years ago

Typical Pinot Noir barnyard on the nose and much more delicate taste of raspberry and minerals than the initial smell would suggest. This should be left alone for a few years to develop — 8 years ago
