Sexy fucking wine. Sexy is overused but I’d get in a hastily planned 3 month relationship with this wine that would end in bitter heartbreak. Gorgeous nose. Flowers, big cherries, lipstick vibe. Palate is ripe and opulent with lovely sucrosity and wonderful freshness. Silky tannins and great mouthfeel. Very 15 but also very alluring. Long finish. Wonderful mineral drive and very complex. Great today. — 7 years ago

Nose of plums, forest floor with fresh fallen flower petals. Taste is of plums, black tea, Forest, raspberry, mushroom. I really like this. Opened up after an hour of pulling cork and really excellent after 2+. — 7 years ago

Amazing stuff. Awesome balance, biscuit, light fruits, tight bubbles, and sits perfectly on the tongue. — 8 years ago

A heavy chateauneuf - alot of syrah. Sweet, dark berry nose with an odd plum note that dissipates. Charred meat notes. Unctuous on palate (again, syrah). Well made. — 9 years ago

Fuller and grippier than I thought it would be. Very well balanced, nice earth and a little funk. Just liked the label ;) — 11 years ago

Delicious! Nose reminds of white burg but there is a slight tropical tenderness and almost saline element that distinguishes. Definitely a baby but loving it — 12 years ago

Young and fresh even with a bit of green on the nose, but it starts to put on weight after about 10-15mins. Great value wine. — 7 years ago

Kanske det bästa ”bubblet” jag har druckit som inte är från champagne. Otroligt imponerande faktiskt. Har egentligen det mesta av friskhet, syra, kritighet och gul frukt. Kanske inget stort vin att spara länge men dricks väldigt bra just nu. — 7 years ago

Can’t get stop going after ‘15 Burgundy. Here, from one of region’s elite and from the fabulous Combe aux Moines vineyard, deeply flavored and beautifully perfumed, ripe black cherries, red raspberry, exotic spices and damp earth. The texture is luxurious and supple and the finish is long and seductive. 🔥 — 7 years ago

CVed 12/29/16. As I remember it from years ago. Funky earthy notes and darker cherry notes that carry through to palate and long finish. Different wine from other three. Opened 1/21/17 at MRs dinner. Tasting the same. Crowd favorite. — 9 years ago

Sweet fruit and a bit fatty, as one would expect from a "millesime soleil", but acidity and minerality balance it all. Very good. — 11 years ago

Golden apples and nuts. Lengthy finish. Almondy flor flavors highly present. vibrant with mashed autumn fruits and oak. — 12 years ago

9.1

Nose is black cherry, plum, thyme, lavender, black pepper, and a touch of smoke. Pretty complex and inviting.

Palate opens with those black cherry/kirsch notes and then transitions to dried green herbs and medium acidity. Tannins are smooth and lend just enough dryness to keep it balanced. Good length with lingering plum skin.

Great little Rhone red with delicious approachable fruit and some nice spice subtlety. Where others at this price point (€11!) are austere or overly simple, this one delivers on deliciousness and complexity. The overall structure makes it quite drinkable too. — 7 years ago

At the Solace in Encinitas, CA. Really nice white Burgundy by the glass. Nutty aromatics and Meyer Lemon. Quite bold and fun for a proprietor to offer this by the glass a rare opportunity to taste a Chard from a Micro-producer in France. Perfect with raw fish Oysters or just any seafood. — 8 years ago

Red brambly fruits, earthy, floral, meaty and iron come into play. Sweet on the attack with good verve and mineral spine. This is in a great spot. — 10 years ago
