Expressive bouquet: flowers, strawberry, chocolate, fig, animal farm, mushrooms, wet wool and vanilla. Well balanced, good acidity, evolving taste. Flavours of milk chocolate with wild strawberry and sweet tobacco in the finish. Quaffable wine with persistent aftertaste. Great wine.

Wonderfully fragrant with notes of cinnamon gum, amaretto, leather shop, white mushroom, spiced plum on the nose. Mellow notes of cherry pie, buttery crust, with hints of marzipan on the palate with smooth tobacco and cinnamon on a nice lingering finish. Drink by itself! :) — 5 years ago

So I met Etienne Julien who took over with his first vintage in 2012. Nice guy. And after tasting his wines: nice wines. This one: excellent. Loved it young. — 7 years ago

Bought this many years ago for a bargain price. Admittedly it's a "suspect" bottle given the producer/bottler but I'm duly impressed. Scents of grilled beef, mushroom, and cranberry fruit. If anything, it's unbalanced and shows too much acid but I'm not complaining. — 10 years ago

Elegant silky wine with a lengthy finish for such a young grand crú. Skeptical of the recommendation initially, this somm has never let me down with a youthful Burgundy. — 2 years ago
