The fruit & sense of place is so strong just from the nose…I could live here. Freshly picked strawberries, cardamon, old barn wood, but all so vibrant that it’s in 3D. Palate picks up the aromatics & redoubles them in intensity, along with black currants. So satisfying & generous, imagine in no small part helped by the six years of age.Lovely integrated mouthfeel too. — 12 days ago

A singular expression in excellence. Not many winemakers can say that. 11 is in the zone for me. Really developed and bursting with petrol and richness with that long acid finish. I wish this was a magnum. It changes every 30 minutes. So special. — 9 months ago

Bright tart cherry and berry upfront and that highly desirable Pinot earthiness that pairs so well with salmon, pork, cheeses, and charcuterie. I am surprised some folks have rated it so low in comparison to how good it tastes! I would definitely buy this again! — a year ago

Gloriously subtle and reticent nose initially but the palate is elite 1er Cru White Burgundy. Wow. Concentration, density, sap, tannin. So brilliant. Pure. More formal notes soon. — 8 months ago

Very distinct smell and a taste that doesn't resemble that smell, but taste very good. I enjoyed this very much, and it surprised me in a positive way — 10 months ago

One of those cases where I can't make a mere sip and fight for the right to finish the bottle. Yet it's sad, cause it's not available anymore in my local store. The first thing to notice is the pale colour of the wine. Apparently, caused by gentle extraction. A beautiful bouquet of fried sunflower seeds, raspberry, strawberry, dark chocolate, spices and gouache. Delicate on the palate, juicy and almost perfectly balanced with good acidity and velvety tannins. It is also flavourful and has a long-lasting aftertaste. To summarize, it is approachable and delicious Pinot Noir, stylistically closer to Bourgogne with a ripe twist. — 2 years ago

Black berry dark fruits smell. Pretty dry and fruity taste. I actually like this a lot — 2 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over three days. Best on Day 3 but slayed from Day 1. The 2021 “P’tit Max” sources fruit from Guy Breton’s oldest vines in Les Charmes; some nearing a century old. It can often be one of the harder expressions from the Gang of Four to find. The wine pours a pale ruby color with a slightly hazy, transparent core and a watery rim. Medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, so fresh! Almost like a spring rain shower. The fruit is so beautiful: strawberry, watermelon, kiwi, red flowers mixed with some anise and wet asphalt. On the palate, winsome structure with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and I want to spread it over toast. This is drinking so well in its youth but this undoubtedly has a long life ahead. If anyone has multiples, I would recommend enjoying one now and cellaring other bottles to be enjoyed over the next 15+ years. — 5 months ago

Tasting great. So good with food. Flowers, minerals, there’s a fruit sweetness too but overall it is mineral driven with good acidity. I can’t keep my nose out of the glass. — a year ago
