Surprising. Very good. — 3 years ago
Violets, dark cherry liquor, ripe blackberries, hint of sandalwood, Provence herbs. Needs time for the tannin and acidity to get fully integrated but good effort. — 4 years ago

Medium straw . Quite green fruit nose , quince , bruised apple , white flowers . On the palate more strict quince fruit with a prominent mineral , chalky , oyster shell notes . Orange peel , white pepper on the finish with decent length with saline tinge . Really quite distinct, for drinking now and over the next 5-7 years . — 2 years ago
This white Bordeaux wine has a subdued nose, but traces of stone fruit and citrus do come through the mineral curtain. The palate is also laced with minerals and citrus, with a nice touch of salinity to add to the waterside connotation of the region’s name. The acidity is fresh and zippy enough for a salad, some vegetables or a seafood dish. — 3 years ago
The 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru is clean and precise on the nose, with raspberry and wild strawberry, crushed stone and discreet sous-bois scents. This, again, unfolds wonderfully in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle but insistent grip. It is more saline than Launay Horiot's Chambertin, with fine structure and a hint of spice towards the finish that has just a touch of piquancy. Bravo - this is a Chambertin from the top drawer. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, October 2024)

A rosé for burgers. A bit smokey at first. Give it 10-30 minutes for reduction to blow off - this wine was singing half way through meal. Red vines, ripe red fruit (raspberry,cherry fruit leather), toast, maraschino cherry, cinnamon, cloves. nutmeg and espelette pepper on the finish. — 3 years ago
