Very Burgundian in style. Floral nose with more cream than minerals. Balanced body with good acids that's a bit fattier than Bigotes. Could pair better with creamier food like the sweet squash raviolis we had. CVed. 9/2/16. Second tasting CV: 9/28/16. Nose bit more acids and hints of oxidation? Tasting very well. Better balance. Notes of oxidation due to CV as it sat at RT? Now shows just a bit more new world richness than Bigotes and Rully Montpalais. Same score. nice wine. Opened 10/19/16. Same nice wine that actually went well with mixed dinner of salmon with dark sauce, amah meat sauce cut with fresh tomatoes. Almost upped the score to 9. Dijon clone 76. 13.8 % ABV 33% new French oak and only 142 cases.
