What a nose. One of my favorite sites and also one of the rarest in Pommard. Nose is red licorice, mid season cherries, watermelon jolly rancher, some citrus lift (blood orange, tangerine) and gorgeous stones. But also a Crabtree & Evelyn thing going on. Really beautiful. 9.7 nose. I am very impressed. Ok, this is stunning. It’s masterfully elegant and my god this is a mineral bomb. There’s glorious fruit but this is so mineral forward that it’s just insane. My god I love fucking Burgundy. Those Pommard late breaking tannins are just insane. What class. The nose is spellbinding. Unreal density and concentration and insane sap, purity and depth. The licorice also echoes on the palate. Wow. Genius. OK this wine is a problem. What a freakishly insane nose. The confectionary aromas are just insane. It’s just so complete. Superb freshness and energy. This true genius. Let’s see how it airs if I don’t drink it all. It’s such a Lyle wine. My god! Day 2 this is killing it. It’s maybe the most mineral wine I have ever had from William. It’s so elegant and just amazing. I truly love this site and am so happy I can offer it. — a day ago

Outrageous nose of spice, spicy oak, flowers, green apple, pear and so much more. Unreal depth, salt and aromatic complexity. Palate has that tension I live for. Precise like a laser and a finish that only begins when one thinks it ends. Yes there’s some wood but it’s perfectly integrated. Ultra concentrated and has outrageous lime zest and lime skin intensity. This is an insane wine. Wow. Showing out of its mind. Now, florals on the nose and just insane lift. Elegant and juicy and obviously has a ton of depth, sap and extract but needs air. But this is a 9.6 out of the gates. Not even a question. With air this has gained an ethereal finesse and added significant weight. Floats but it’s also got body. Immaculate balance. — 4 days ago

That dark 2020 color in effect. Nose is deep and dark. Black plum, black cherry, dark flowers, maybe violets and serious depth. Huge fruit but also some spice but overall it smells like it looks: saturated and dark. But so pure and so fresh. A stunning nose that leans into 2020. The palate is glorious. Ripe, chewy, dense, dark, but with lift and finesse and enormous concentration. Big tannins but ripe and they get in your cheeks and gums. My goodness the fruit on this is super hedonistic. I adore it. This needs hours of air and possibly days. It will get it. The purity of the fruit and the saturation here is just unreal. This will unfurl. — a day ago

One and done. Only made in 21. Fruit is red, not an iota of black. Red apple, spice, limestone and gorgeous clarity to the aromas. Such lift and freshness. Palate is crunchy and super juicy. So clean and lean like the best 21’s are. Unreal texture and such a wonderful hint of bitter. Gorgeous. Now with air it’s all finesse and Brisset magic. — 3 days ago

@Pooneet K after 45 mins it’s heavenly and elegant. Initially it’s great but still not harmonized. Now it’s stunning.

The best fruit beer on earth. Grateful to be having this again. Insane clarity of raspberry on the nose. Like it’s in HD. The palate is like elegant Burgundy. But it’s beer. I can’t explain it better than that. — 7 days ago

@Lyle Fass whoa…that’s quite a statement. I’ve had some of the very best from Drie Fonteinen and Cantillon and it’s hard to imagine better. Like…impossible to imagine.

@Jay Kline if you can believe it I’ve never had Cantillon or Drie Fonteinen. Go check out Borg’s website, it’s a hoot. Great copy. They also only export one stout to America sadly. Most of it stays here. I’ve always wanted to export it but it won’t work with my model.

This is one of my favorite Lieu-Dit Pommards from Rebourgeon. That nose of kinked out Pommard fruit, super stones always delivers. The lift, the purity, the confectionary aromas. The precision in William’s 23 is just incredible. What a palate! Sweet fruit, oodles of stones, cherry liqueur, such freshness, finesse and precision. Really balanced and just such high quality winemaking. Juicy, tangy, succulent. Nose is like Burgundy goes to the carnival with this kinky, cotton candy confectionery that is off the charts. I have always believed in William and in 2023 he has made the leap. What a brilliant wine. Firm, stoney tannins. — 2 days ago

Nebbiolo/Uva Rara/Barbera.

Dark color and nice nose of dried cherry, ripe plum, spices and herbs. Dried roses as well. Very aromatic. Palate is deep, juicy and so sleek and refined. Terrific finish and really pumps the fruit on the finish. Nose starts to deliver wild mint, mashed mid season to late season cherries after some minor aeration. Tannins are slate like, but ripe and gorgeous. Really rich but also fresh and energetic. A terrific value and that finish and explosive mid palate is the story. This is a glugger but also has the guts to age.

Nose is classic with green apple skins, some phyllo dough, spice and nice minerals. Uncomplicated but gorgeous in its effect. Palate is juicy and plump. Good freshness and texture. Sneaky length and very pure. I won’t sell it but it’s something I’d love to pour BTG if I had a restaurant. Nice lime zest and mineral finish and has real good mid palate density. — 4 days ago
