I heard this 2007 made by the late Patrick Bize tastes like a 15 rear old Meursault. I agree. This has a deeper gold and a slight nuttiness from age and lemon zest, apple skin, a yogurt tang, lees, and a mineral finish. Becky Wasserman sure knows how to find gems in Burgundy. — 9 years ago

Tasted 28/04/2016
Vibrant, intriguing, eloquent nectar made of Heida (Savagnin Blanc), idiosyncratic to Valais.
Dense shimmering brass color, golden glitters.
Wet hay, mint, soaked apples, quince, sage, limestone, pinecone. Caramelized peach.
Fat-bodied, zesty palate. Lively acidity supported by tough mineral kick and kumquat peels, unripe cantaloupe, bruised quince, laurel, sage flavors.
Interminable finish...
Unique winexperience!

Pairings... I tried several ones.
First was 'C_Bro favorite': cute little bunny, trapped, skinned, disemboweled and baked in sourcream with allspice, garlic, onion, juniper, carrots and thyme.
Than - moderatetly spicy grilled reindeer sausages.
And finally mature + blue mold cheese plate.
All three played well. — 9 years ago

Pure enjoyment - Starting with the story behind this Syrah living in Burgundy (plus the Domaine Simon Bize connection), and peaking the moment this vibrant beauty leaves the glass. — 7 years ago
Still a baby but very promising, with intense mineral and floral character, chewy texture and superb persistence. — 7 years ago
This has good fruit combined with forest floor earthy aromas. Great acidity. A no frills classic burgundy. Less refinedvthanbyhe Simon Bize. — 10 years ago

Reduction, slighty sulphuric, flinty smoke. On the 2nd day it opened up with red apples and lemonpeel, still some flint and wet stones, very tight and fresh style. Minerality like drinking a quarry. Amazing value. — 6 years ago
