Quite dense , with ruby , and a narrow ruby garnet rim . Quite a lot of dense fruit on the nose , cassis , blackberry , dark cherry some spice , but lively and fresh . On the palate quite velvety , suave tannins , balanced acidity . Quite juicy with the same of the dark fruits from the nose , cassis , blackberry . Lightly gritty tannins and good acidity , intergrated alcohol . Long dark fruit stained finish . Still really quite young and fruit driven . Even better in a few years and then will age well a further 5-10. At Ma Cuisine in Beaune . — a month ago

The 2017 Montrachet Grand Cru was the full stop on a long and bibulous evening, but that did not detract one jot from the quality of this wine. It has a wonderful, pure, effervescent bouquet with orange pith and touches of camphor and chamomile. The palate is very pure and delivers what you expect from this vineyard. Caressing in texture, it fans out to devastating effect, and while it may just miss earth-shattering mineralité, it is quite simply a beautiful wine in the flush of youth. Tasted at Maison de Colombière. (Neal Martin, Vinous, March 2023) — 3 years ago

这个属于是非常神奇的自然酒了，会有些不属于其本身的二三类香气，如皮革，甚至会有些老酒特有的荃类香气。在后面还会有些青椒味，浆果味也越发明显，最后也会有花生和芝麻的味道，是会随着时间变化而变化的酒，很棒👍🏻！ — 3 years ago

Great. First time having Negrette variety. Very easy to drink but still has a slight spiciness to it like a Cab Franc. Definitely want to buy again. — 6 years ago

2024 vintage. The first time I tasted this very rare grape variety, it was saved from extinction by Philippe and Diane Cauvin at Domaine La Colombière. These days a few estates produce Bouysselet wines, and intriguingly Château Anthonic in Moulis, grafted Bouysselet on Merlot vines, with the first production expected in 2025. I suspect this is produced from young vines, but the resulting wine is very interesting. The closest thing that comes to mind is Chenin Blanc, but it seems to have a character of its own. I will taste a few others soon. Abv. 13,5%. — a year ago

CLB La Colombière 2017 was explosive and with soaring aromatics and continued to blossom beautifully. CLB’s 2017’s are my favorites right now along with Mugneret Gibourg. — 6 years ago
