Not an everyday village. This is an absolutely epic red burg even when this young! A wine I just wanted to smell all knight. — 5 years ago

This was a superb village Burgundy that punched well above its weight. At first reticent, but opened up nicely to become a vibrant, acidic, fruity pinot noir that would probably benefit from some years lying down still. — 6 years ago

Always been a go-to producer for me in terms of price, drinkability, and sense of place. This had all the MSD character I look for in village wines with generous fruit and weight to make it a no fuss experience. Some reduction and brett dominated but blew off quickly letting its leathery and brambly, sous bois fruity character shine through. One foot in rustic, one foot in conventional, this had a well rounded mix of what I like when I reach for this village. — 6 years ago

Blind I could spot this by the colour. Ruby red and a nose of decaying leaves is a dead give away. I was shocked at the firm tannins from this Pinot. Barnyard, fur,, truffle, and hints of licorice make this a memorable wine. With a 45 second finish this is a qpr at the village level. — 8 years ago

Wonderful wine, aged beautifully. Just under 25 yrs old but young and fresh. Good complexity even though it is village appellation and not premier cru. — 5 years ago

Quite open and delicious with bright fruit and tangy acidity. A classic Morey village showing many good qualities of the vintage. — 6 years ago

We enjoyed this bottle late into the night, taking our time and growing our appreciation of the wine as each sip grew richer & more sumptuous. From an assortment of grapes grown on an arid and rocky, white gravel plateau in the tiny village of St Jean, France - this small batch, biodynamic beauty has alot of personality. Instantly fresh and out of the bottle with notes of red fruit, silky, smooth and growing in complexity as it breathes. By the final glass I was noticing hints of leather & blackberry jam. — 7 years ago

Drinking above its village level, lots of berry & black cherry fruits along with Asian spice and mineral. — 9 years ago

Rustic tannins as expected but lots of stewed and dried fruit from a big vintage along with the earthiness of the village — 9 years ago

I decided to revisit a bottle that was the winner of our horizontal tasting of MSD 2016 village (10 producers tasted blind by 10 participants). And once again this is a hit for a village. Lots of complexity, licorice, spices and red fruits... more than satisfactory length for this level of appellation. — 6 years ago

Liquid violets, lavender, mulberry, blueberry and a hum of nutty oak. Fruit is much plusher than the village wine. Fine web of lacy tannin from front to back. Delicious drinking. — 6 years ago

Nose of hay, earth, vanilla, cherry, iron. Profound and complex. The palate is long and wide with cherry along a strong acid backbone. Silky touch on the sides. An oaky thing happening in there too. Strong persistence of the vanilla and cherry for an everlasting finish. What a village! — 7 years ago

9.0

Located to the east of the village of Saint-Émilion, on one of the high points of the appellation and it extends over 20 hectares. Ch was promoted to "Saint-Emilion Grand cru classé" in 2006. A blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark Crimson with ripe fruit aromas & herb notes. On the palate black cherry & raspberry, currant-like, with tobacco & cacao notes. Dusty fine tannins, lingering finish ending with earthy mineral tones, drinkable now, but ‘12 has more L-T aging. — 8 years ago

Some absurd ratings out there for this nice but decidedly middle of the road Burg. Light for the vintage. A dark translucent salmon (I've seen some darker roses). Nose of cranberry and orange peel with a little briar and a light touch of spice but not really perfumed. Lithe finish with ample acidity and fine tannins. If pressed I would guess village level Vosne. — 9 years ago
