At Cuvée Como, 04/10/17 festa Laurea — 8 years ago
Nice flinty reductive properties that envelops into a rich minerality. Not lacking in fruit with some cantaloupe and lemon rind. Overall a great expression of Côte d'Or as a white wine with the complexity and familiar body of a red. — 8 years ago
Fresh, slightly green (stems?), primary. Warm fermentation? Quite lean on the palate. A bit more fruit would help. Very clear but a bit lacking in beauty or lushness. — 9 years ago
Stinky, reductive, needs lots of air & time to breath. Funky cab franc which many won't like. — 10 years ago
Fiiiinalllyyy!!!! I got the chance to taste it! And OMG, it just has that perfect harmony! And the light style with those red fruits... Perfect!
Enffffiiiinnn j'ai eu la chance d'y goutté! Et OMD! Il est juste harmonieux, legers et des fruit rouge claire! — 11 years ago
Just plain drinkable with a lot of red fruit, pretty CF aromatics and just a touch of funky-earthiness. — 11 years ago
Low yields in Northern Rhône 2013, but the quality of the fruit is prevalent here. Structured and well-integrated fine grained tannins at the five year mark. The nose explodes out of the glass with finesse and doused complexities. Definitive Syrah nuances of black raspberries, black plums, black olives, fresh cut violets, cracked black pepper, Indian spices, grilled and smoked meats, and stone dust. Light weight but packs a continuous release of flavors. Nose and palate changes from fruit to floral to spicy to meaty. As you move to different areas and rooms the wine changes. The more air it gets, the more meat starts hanging out. Complex indeed for a $20 bottle. Great showing. — 7 years ago
Clean, peppery, fresh — 8 years ago
Dark purple burgundy in color, smells of savory meaty component, blackberry, cardamom, white pepper, tobacco and fig, balanced acidity wets your mouth, full body with round mouthfeel,tastes of black cherry, pepper, licorice, black tea and roasted suckling pig, medium to long finish, excellent structure and way too easy drinking.
This is a negotiant operation teamed up by the Jaboulet family in the north and Perrin family in the south to produce Northern Rhône AOC and none-AOC varietal wines. — 11 years ago

Looooooved this. So bouncy and so pine-y! I drank it cold, like past the point of chilled, because no wine fridge or central air, and I thought it was perfect that way? — 7 years ago
