2016. Really great wine. A bit young and will be great in 5+ years. Earthy woodsy nose, medium body, some dark fruit with mineral. Decant for at least 1 hour. — 8 years ago
Cheese rind Chablis funk. Has the wooly character I associate with the region. High acid - compared to most in this lineup. Lean and mean — 9 years ago
Great acidity! Some slate and hint of salinity as well. Delicious! — 9 years ago
From a lieu dit surrounded by Gevrey. Definitely young but with a couple hour decant quite enjoyable and accessible. Tons of sweet cherry on the nose; aromatically really quite intense. Full on the palate, get more tannin than I was expecting, but very nicely balanced by a lot of acid. Enjoyed it with a roast chicken provencal but could have stood up to red meat too. Nice qpr at ~$30. Note this is not the “cuvee unique”, which apparently a 100% new oak bottling - this is the regular which is 85% old. — 6 years ago

Lots of cherries. Spices, chocolate and some herbs. Sweet tannins in a very good wine. Muita cereja madura, com especiarias, chocolate e um toque herbal. Taninos bem redondos em um belo vinho. — 10 years ago

Ruby color. Bit jammy on the nose. Flavors are rich and more of a Syrah type. Nice flavors. Seems older. — 8 years ago
We often read discussions of wines that deserve more respect than they are designated. Villages that drink like premier crus; premieres that aspire to be GC's. in this case, we have a "lowly" villages lieu-dit surrounded on 3 sides by great Gevrey GC climats. Such a sweet spot of intense savory fruit at a price point that blows your mind. Thoroughly impressed with the pedigree of this wine, and the visceral edginess that Gerard Raphet imparts here. Spicy, fresh acidity, vibrant mesmerizing tannin, ripe cherry, earthy to the core. Soooo Burgundian! Enjoyable now (with a brilliant succulent Mahi-mahi), but will be so much more incredible in the mid-2020's. — 9 years ago
