Funny how sometimes I’m guilty of thinking “ letting the Brett blow off” to taste the main event. Here the development in the glass is the main event, which includes quite a bit of funk when first opening up. That the evolution includes wild blackberries & cassis, & the funk adds to the overall impression of something feral getting tamed, is all part of the fun. Fine grained & can be drunk young, but curious how it would fare in 8-10 years ( imagine a much more smoothed out development & sweetness). — 2 months ago
Fresh and fruity. Minerals. vincent girardin bourgogne blanc cuvee saint-vincent 19 @, Vin, 240928 — a year ago
Very nice flavours of cherry, plum, raspberry, and a touch of leather/earthy (in a good way!) Well balanced. Nice bottle too! — 2 years ago
Unreal nose for one of the best wines in all of NSG. Gorgeous black cherry fruit that is so clear and vivid. A hint of black plum but more black plum skins. Wild mint, desiccated tree bark, wild flowers and mega forest floor. Just stunning. 9.6 or 9.7 nose. Rich and deep with awesome purity and freshness. Really lush and succulent with terrific tiny berry fruit intensity. Superb concentration, structure and juiciness. Such a baby but not inaccessible. Really long finish and so compact. Glorious and can’t wait to see what the evening brings for this wine. This did get riper, “soupier” and plummier. Showed its “20” bones. Still fresh and deep but man 20 is all plum it seems like at some estates. — 4 months ago
This is a legendary wine and wow is this elite. Nose is the essence of NSG aka “The Bordeaux of Burgundy.” Stunning cherry fruit. So vivid. A creamy aspect also to the nose but on top of wet earth and stones. Tiny berry fruit intensity and mashed violets. Super aromatic. Palate is so well knit and silky with a meaty element as well and distinct cherry fruity. Mid season but also some black cherries as well. This has classic Ledy structure but is so approachable for this bottling. That’s 17! Will be back as it opens. But out of this world right now. Amazing tiny berry intense fruit! Also a pastille effect on the finish. — 3 years ago

Second take on this one because I really enjoyed it the first time and we even went back to buy a couple of bottles to bring back home. Previous notes stand and we had it with food this time around and it works super well with white meat cooked on the grill and light summer veggie and salad dishes. Last evening in the Polish mountains. We will come back. — 2 months ago
