They blended all the Roussanne into this super cuvée as it was a difficult vintage. But man is this wine not difficult. It’s freaking outrageous. Honeycomb, melon, exotic cardamom and clove spices. Just knockout aromas. Palate is top .01% finesse. Just the best. No one makes Roussanne like Gilles. Juicy, nimble and dense with that classic bitter backend. Just so pure. Great wine. — 7 days ago

The king is back. Exquisitely mineral nose. Pommard stoniness. Florals like crazy. Unreal spice. Exotic perfume. But the palate is the star of the show. Absolutely mind bending. Juicy, nimble, so refined and pure. Huge concentration and lush. It’s tight and spicy now but man is this just an incredible bottle of Pommard. Very age worthy. So elegant and still holding its Pommard frame. Just awesome. Let’s see what air does. On day 2 this has a glorious mid palate but of opulence. Nose is so mineral. Floral/mineral. Unreal fruit soak on the palate and extraordinary tannins. — 3 days ago

Petit is about right. It’s liquid that’s for sure. It has Chablis character. But not much of it. — 10 days ago

Super floral, lifted, black cherry aromas that jump out of the glass. Earthy, gamey aromas as well. So aromatic. 9.6 nose. Stoney as Pommard can be. Unreal palate. So ungodly delicious. Stunning inner mouth aromas and just awesome sweet red cherry fruit. Tiny berry fruit intensity. Unreal mineral sheath. All stony. So Pommard but also so Rebourgeon. So complex. Profound. — 4 days ago

Outrageous. The Lafite of Germany. So classy. Aristocratic. Will need a decade but still utterly perfect in every way. A diamond cut from sun. — 13 days ago
