Unexpectedly delicious. Reasonable price ($20) at k and l. Pinot in the way that I like it not too sweet. Lovely acid, a bit of wood and even some leather. A light red with character! — 4 years ago
Gripping, austere, reductive, mineral-laced and utterly cerebral. That describes the general appeal of this very well-crafted entry level bottling. But it remains expressive, aromatic, lifted and graceful. This vintage has proven to be one of the best gateways into serious and traditional Burgundy wines for many of my customers, earning it a couple of extra points from me. — 5 years ago
One of THE superb values in the US market for Hautes Côtes de Nuits. This is the Saint Martin Monopole which delivers serious gravitas and value. Lemon oil, golden apple, white flowers, honey and butterscotch delivered with very fine acidity and seamless texture. Mouthfeel is silky and superb. — 6 years ago
It grew on me steadily. Light-bodied, bright, fruity, clean. — 6 years ago
Toasty new oak aromas earthy cherry 🍒 wish the fruit wasn't as suppressed by the oak -still nice — 7 years ago
Big, bold and delicious from the dark dark cherry colors and complex nose of leather, slight licorice, hearty mushrooms, dried oak limbs... Through the first sip that suffuses the palate with steely minerals and then slides into those favors mid-palate that were in the nose. An acidic finish that will undoubtedly round and mellow in coming years... And likely if I have patience to let it breathe.

Nose of cedar, red raspberry, juiced cherry, cranberry and wet leaves.
Palate has rehydrated cranberry, partially dried cherry, raspberry juice, unsweetened cranberry juice, early spring strawberry and light, loamy earth.
Slightly grippy tannins, otherwise a very smooth finish, medium length. Our first go around with this producer. I bought at a local shop tasting event, decanting this was the way to go. The fruit was solid when I first tasted, but the tannins seemed to get in the way. You'll (generally) never get to taste a bottle at a walk around that has had the proper air, so you need to go on faith and experience some times. I'm not disappointed with this bottle tonight, decent show. $25
Another 3-5 years of patience will do no harm to this bottle, likely benefit. — 5 years ago
Bright, but quite ripe, red cherry with almond, nice herbaceous notes and light nutmeg. Reductive notes are there, but not overpowering... so a plus for me. YMMV. A little time to breathe helps.
Thanks to 2015, this is delicious now, but there’s enough grip to hold for a couple years.
So, nowadays we’re paying $48 in Dallas for Hautes-Côtes de Nuits... 2015 is a banner year for everyone apparently. — 6 years ago
