So complex. Earthy, decomposing leaves, tobacco, cloves, jammy fruits, toasted oak. I love it — 10 years ago
This wine was closed when we opened it but the next day it turned out to be a gem. Keep for another 3 years. Great balance between acid and fruit. Tannins resolved over night and now the wine has dark berry notes and a hint of bitterness and dirt! The ripeness of the 2009 vintage shines through but is well managed. Beats any California Pinot at the price level ca. 50$ when I bought it. This is how Burgundy should taste! Low 13.3%. For a Gevrey at the village level stellar! — 11 years ago

With an hour decant, this opens to show beautiful ripe red cherries and rose petals, with a lithe and succulent texture. Great value. — 11 years ago
Nothing fancy. But Maume is the real deal. Beautiful wine. — 11 years ago
2008. Very good. Tart and firm acidity. Very old school style. Not overripe opulence of today's style. — 11 years ago
Big cherry cola. Bright red fruit, with Smokey overtones. Beautiful balance. Sexy and approachable — 4 years ago
Some ‘05 magic starting to (re)appear — 7 years ago
Similar in feel to the old Maume or Bertheau. On the rustic and traditional side but one has to be grateful this style of winemaking is still alive. AAA — 9 years ago

2024/7/24-25. As an old fan of Maume via the KLWM connection, I’m predisposed towards this. It starts off very quiet, but the nose opens significantly over 30 minutes or so. It starts with red fruit, herbs and stone, but over time reveals darker fruit, iron and earth. The dense, powdery mouthfeel, layered fruit and grippy tannin shows this is still quite young and will probably improve for some time. Also, even I have to admit a (legacy) Maume Pallud may be more suited for cooler weather… — 2 years ago
