Really interesting wine. First night was red, tart, light, brett that tastes identical to Lapierre Brett. The second night it deepened, tastes more of Cabernet. Really lovely stuff. True to the place and style, but with the lightness and grace that draws people to Burgundy. I'd love to see this again in ten years.

I love this! Old school Merlot. Aged in old foudres. No new oak. Light red that's quite fruity and medium bodied with good acidity. So drinkable.

Pleasant and accessible. Pleasant, earthy nose though very light on the palate an short simple finish. Not complex or particularly structured but still easy to sip

Initial stallighet som försvinner i karaffen. Hög syra och lättsam frukt som ändå är bordeauxtypiskt med sv vinbär och fruktkaka plus lite körsbärskärna, menthol och mineraler. Skönt befriat från fat.

Le Puy is so damn good. Dark berry fruit, dust and a bright, lively acid that I don't normally see in young BDX. I rarely say this about new-release-Bordeaux, but go ahead and enjoy this now!

Straight soil & soul. The waves of terroir on this cuvée will not escape you::::it is relentless in its expression: hence the note on the bottle :: Expression Originale du Terroir. Very little fruit out the gate...dry...maybe something very dark and deep...minerality then soil and deeper and deeper. It has a mystic aura, ethereal. I can honestly say I've never tasted anything remotely like it.

Burgundy or Bordeaux - that was the debate of the evening. We finally decided to go Bordeaux and we picked this guy. Pretty delicious selection, being full of character but light in its feet. Mushrooms, damp earth, dust, and ripe cherries.

Red raspberry, red currant, and vegetal notes from rhubarb. Very light. Tannins quite soft - beautiful even young. Big up Sam for the recommendation!
