Wow! So young, concentrated and serious! This Pinot driven masterpiece has power to spare and chalky drive like few others. A true Tete de Cuvée- small production and top quality. — 11 years ago

Sure did make an impression. Big, rich, textural, stunning acid drive. Pears, apples, limes, and layers of molten honey! Likely some bot even - hints of it on the palate. Utterly delicious.

Add notes: Domaine des Roches Neuves. Biodynamic focus. L'Insolite - 80+ year old Chenin vines, clayey-limestone, sandstone and flint subsoil. — 9 years ago

Beautiful stuff, with lovely floral notes and great acid drive with tight yet rewarding tannins and lush fruit, offering ripeness and elegance. It's more slim compared to the expressive 2011 but equally fine. — 10 years ago

So much potential! The first out of my six that I bought prearrival, and opened to soon. Great dark fruit and drive to cut the ribeye that we enjoyed, but the best is yet to come foe this claret! — 12 years ago
