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
An excellent #meursault I found the acidity slightly too high #perrieres #gaunoux #chardonnay #whiteburgundy — 6 years ago
Exactly what this last humid Japanese summer night needed - a refreshing and deceptively light melange of citrus and apricot, with a lovely vanilla enrobed body to finish. — 8 years ago
Light to med gold in the glass. Apricot and honeysuckle in the nose with stones. Huge in the mouth. Very rich. Best Niellon I've had. — 9 years ago
A blend of Grenache from the right side of the Rhone river and Syrah from the left side cooler adds some freshness — 10 years ago

Had with oysters and was divine. Great lees undertone and extremely aromatic, hitting all the right notes. Well played, sir. — 8 years ago

This + Szechwan green beans? Delish. Another triumph, @baygrape! I'm ready to re-up very soon. — 10 years ago
12.5%. Very very good. Hint of brett - tart and closed. But boy is this complex. Earthy, Kashmir red pepper, perhaps even a hint of tomatoes 🍅. Orange bitters on the back palate. Like silk much better than many Burgs I had in the last six months. From Max Kogod and I will buy the last bottle and the other cuvée from this producer best Trousseau I had in a long time! — 5 years ago
Unusual bouquet of damp earth that goes right into the back of the nose. Strong and prominent tannins, though not grippy. A very long finish with warming deep cocoa, salt and stone. Very interesting, though even at 12 years old still seems a bit too young and rough on the edges. — 6 years ago
Un grand pauillac? Not sûre. C bon. Une côte rôtie encore. — 8 years ago
Young, but very good. Classic Chablis profile. Lemons, green apples, and oyster shells on a glycerin-tinged frame. — 9 years ago
