9.1

Garrigue on the nose with wet stone and hardwood buds. Black fruit skins dominate the palate which had a blend of textural notes from breezy silkiness midpalate to highly textural but polished tannins on the gums and cheeks. Finishes long with a touch of leather a wisp of light thin smoke, which fade to persistent dark juice. — 4 years ago

A slightly simpler and juicer offering than their single cru selections, this Chablis offers pleasant, floral aromatics, a racy but still curvy body, and pronounced citrus over calcareous stone. — 6 years ago

9.4

Bright zesty citrus, especially kaffir lime. Jasmine and blossomy, nectary aromatics. Round and graceful on the palate. Slight suggestion of melon or even a slight mango skin. Very finely ground mineral dust on the end. Poised and delicate but not shy. — 6 years ago

7.9

Tart cranberry that has a little gummy fruit candy or even stevia note. There’s a noticeable oak chip tannin, and a granular acidulated graininess. Thin and one dimensional. — 6 years ago

8.8

Big, bold fruit. Blackberry, raspberry, cherry, mulberry. Rich and approachable without being jammy it stewed. A very slight note of rasination. Almost a faintly date-like quality. There’s a gentle, semi-sweet barbecue note with gentle pepper and espresso. — 6 years ago

9.3

Coffee, sour cherry, pork fat, light and wispy hickory, black plum skin, freshly fallen oak and maple leaves, a whisper of nutmeg. Enchanting! Super long finish. Delicate and ethereal but upright with a confident posture and grace. — 6 years ago
