Steely finish, lemony and lots of mineral — 6 years ago


On the nose closed. On the palate ... basically an orgy. Ridiculous umame. Savory. Rich. But acidically balanced. If that’s a word. With chicken in cream sauce this would be heaven. Check back in 18 months. The upside on this wine could be very very high. The downside is just really delicious. Ok an hour in this is sick. I mean sick and profound. Internal aromatics are kicking in. Incredible wine. Do not touch for 18 months. Once the nose kicks in this will be a bucket list experience. — 9 years ago

Pale gold. Nose of medium+ intensity showing stone fruits meal, oyster shell , toasty oak and leesy notes. Palate shows the same stone fruit and oak notes but all in perfect balance. Long finish. A very good wine but will cellar. Priced at $120.84. Wine of the day at WSET Level 3. — 10 years ago

Dark cherry, a little earth and tartness when first opened. After breathing some sweeter pomegranate notes showed. Very interesting 2001 vintage. — 10 years ago
At Batard in NYC. Decanted. Nice aged ruby color. Sweet nose including ripe berries, mushroom, forest floor and some spice. Good mouth feel that lasts long enough to give you the terroir impact. Really like the finish. This was on the wine list at two restaurants in NYC this week and both somms said this was a recent direct release from the domaine. So good provenance and a good showing for a so so vintage. — 10 years ago

This is my first Burgundy (so that skews the rating) but it's omg delicious. Nose is all candied cherries and spice. Tastes goes from fruit, to pepper, to a soft gamey flavor. Delicate and watery on finish. Hubby who likes intense, dark wine and beer says, " I like it because it has flavors." — 12 years ago
Discrete nose of white fruit with pears and also a slight minty and smoke feel, very discrete. The palate is gorgeous, such balance between the perfect acidity and slight richness of fruit and elegance. Another great 2017 CDB. 90-91
Nez discret de poires et une touche de menthe et de fumée mais sans déranger. Le vin est délicieux, quel équilibre entre cette tension appuyée et cette richesse de fruit, juste parfait. Un autre beau blanc 2017. 90-91 + — 6 years ago

This is a YOUNG WINE. I decanted for 2-3 hours and it really benefitted. I’ve had it at 8 years and it really shines. Very enjoyable now with some air but clearly more to say in the future. — 7 years ago
Bright translucent ruby core, on the nose the wine displays a nice freshness of red berries and candies cherry. The palate is medium bodied, juicy with good length. A couple more years of age and this wine will sing! — 8 years ago
Hit the spot. Thanks again @Matt Tornabene and @Anderson Fariss . on the bold side but incredible bright acid on the finish. A treat — 9 years ago

Recognizable as sauv blanc, but so different from my frequent New Zealand sauv blancs. No grapefruit or grassiness. No cat pee. Just classic sauv blanc fragrance and minerality. — 11 years ago
This is delicious, though from a riper vintage so a bit more round and luscious than normal. Crunchy minerality, soft oak notes and starting to develop the walnut/hazelnut and bruised apple and pear that time provides. Classy stuff, indeed. — 11 years ago
