A charming left bank blend with a high percentage of CF for 15’. Blueberry, cassis, espresso, dried herbs, and lavender. Hint of crushed rocks too. Medium to full body. A harmonious palate with round gentle acidity, lush texture, and grainy yet polished firm elegant tannins. Lingering lightly candied finish.
Finesse and classy, yet so approachable. — 5 years ago

Open about an hour and it's not singing but it is humming at least. A tad hot, but incredible. Balanced yet fulsome. Two plus hours in and just soars. Embers, earth, dark fruit, spice and integrated oak. Definitely 98+. Wow. — 9 years ago

Light yellow, acidic with a mild pepper finish. Good with fontina, toma, or a creamy goat cheese with pesto (especially the latter) on a warm summer day. — 10 years ago

Very dense at first. Decanted. Highly concentrated, but lifting. A great nose of stone fruits, dried herbs, and salty minerality. Should age well. — 10 years ago

Nose - pineapple, lemon zest, vanilla. Taste - citrus fruit and great vanilla flavor, little bit of caramel. Full bodied, with a good balance. Really good! — 6 years ago

Needed to be opened the night before...or in 4 years. Still tight. But a beautifully feminine, pretty nose. — 6 years ago

A little sleepy at the outset but ascended late. Some game musk on the nose, Elegant and supple fruit with bright black cherry, wood pulp and limestone. — 7 years ago

Fig, butterscotch, banana, cognac & alcohol dominate the nose. This wine is a monster. So intense and vibrant. Like it could not wait to be freed from the bottle. Nice tannins and acid. Flavors of biscuit, rhubarb & ripened light fruit. This wine makes you happy to love wine. Very fortunate to come across this bottle. 2006 vintage

Big cab franc. Showing big fruit with enough herbaceousness to balance it out. May take a couple years to bloom but drinks great now — 9 years ago

9.0

Great bottle showing its age well. Preserved lemon, ripe melon, marshmallow, apple blossoms, hazelnut, damp earth, oyster shell, minerals, tea leaf. There's a caramelized honey element to the wine. Acidity is still fresh and vibrant. Great example of Muscadet with age. Similar aromas and flavors of aged chablis/BdB Champagne — 10 years ago

Bought this on a trip to Napa. Had not heard of the vineyard previous to our visit, but was impressed at our tasting. Really nice ripe round fruit, balanced body. Not inexpensive, but a worthy spurge — 10 years ago

In a great place right now. Bitter chocolate, dark cherry, a little tarry. Best window is probably in next few years — 11 years ago

Bright crunchy fruits right out of the gates. Terrific tension and acidity. Excellent wine and blew away (and felt stylistically different) than a ‘14 we tried alongside it. — 6 years ago

I still remember the very 1st Champagne visit I had 12yrs ago with Pierre, it's so great to come full circle. This is rich, but balanced, a great apple tarte tartin quality to it when opened, so showed development, but being VV it's understandable. After being open for an hour everything came alive, white florals, beautiful minerality. Outstanding wine. — 9 years ago

Keith Herrick

9.1

Tasty, but too young. Still a bit disjointed and the oak stuck out. Not really knocking it, as I knew I shouldn't be touching a 2010 yet. Hope to try it again in a few years. That being said, I do think the gevrey VV is a step above. — 9 years ago

Quite sweet, but not syrupy. A great dessert pairing with berries, but still enough effervescence to cut through dense fatty chocolate or other rich desserts. Dessert in a glass for me! — 11 years ago
