Given this bottle by Niels who we bumped into at Wine Concepts in Jo'burg. He absolutely gushed about his creation and I can see why. Nose is spice driven, dark fruit with hints of liquorice, plum and is that vanilla? Wonderful complex wine which I noticed was a bargain in the store. A great match to their Shiraz. — 10 years ago

Fruity, ripe cherry and raspberry undertones. Drinking perfectly. Not bad for a wine from a master vigneron wedged between the more celebrated G-C and C-M! — 10 years ago

Perhaps still a little early to enjoy at its best. Lovely cassis on the nose and a little earthiness. Succulent and pure, fesh and seductive. More to come but great value from an outstanding Pauillac producer. — 10 years ago

Tight Pinot. Lots of complex fruit on nose. Think it improved once opened for a while. — 10 years ago

Lovely 2010! Old vines deliver citrus nose, slightly acidic Macon Chardonnay. Delicious ripe fruit and long finish. — 10 years ago

This is an underrated stunning Villages wine from an outstanding domaine. Jean-Luc and Eric have taken forward the quality of their father's G-V. Wonderful nose, typical Gevrey. Delicious fruit with a long finish. Will last well. Excellent value. — 10 years ago
