Piuze in his typically accidentally oxidiZed style. Kinda got beat by a Tribut villages from an inferior vintage.

Wow great example of what 1er cru should be. Typicity and transparency for days. Loving this!

This bottle showed a little better than the last, though the color was still a bit deep. Nice Chablis characteristics and a good pairing for a festival day!

A better showing than my first bottle, about 14 months later, but not a knockout and less racy than I had hoped. It did improve when paired with oysters, which filled in some missing tasting notes. Something I would expect from a villages wine at best. Continuing to drink up these wines as my faith in their ageability is all but nonexistent. Sansom St

I think first time with this vineyard in Patrick's hands. On opening I thought "uh oh" and "not again." Definitely showing some oxidation and flattened acidity, notes of tropics, etc. Came around a little bit, certainly isn't fully premoxed but not at all where I expected this to be 3 years into life.
