Unreal nose. Just so beautiful. Huge perfume. Seashells. Oyster shells. Unmistakably Chablis. So so mineral. There is no fruit. An exercise in a blast of terroir so intense you gotta be a wine geek to enjoy it. Salty. White pepper. A perfume that is broad and precise. Really really beautiful. Palate terrific and has some ripe fruit, green apple mostly, a nice hit of richness in the texture, good purity and a lonely initial blast of fruit/mineral concentrate and then the finish is all seashells that linger. Excellent wine for the appellation.

As it airs it picks up weight on the palate. Terrific wine for no money. So salty and fresh. — 5 years ago

2008. The purest vougeot I ve encountered so far. Less expressive organic strawberry nose. No black fruit detected. Palate is a drawback due to the vintage? Watery at mid palate, stingy at the back but really vivid. A fantastic vougeot. Buy. — 11 years ago

Carmine gave us just what we asked for: a lighter to medium body red with low tannins and mild earth. This fit the ticket perfectly- a delicious French wine in an Italian restaurant! — 7 years ago

At first it's passionfruit aromas were a little too overpowering however they've seemingly blown off and settled nicely into the background. Cut grass, lemongrass and a subtle smoke have appeared for a while and grapefruit and green apple show themselves too. The palate is tropical with assertive acidity with some pithy character and long finish. At first I didn't really enjoy this, give it a while and serve around 12-14 degrees — 9 years ago

The nose is like sniffing a regular great pinot noir glass standing in a bouqet of flowers; the perfume is remarkable, sweet and delicate; taste is equally refined, structure is solid - medium acids and silky but tangible tannins - and the fruity lighly-oaked and -tannic finish leaves me wanting more. — 9 years ago
