Vintage 2022 | Fresh, saline, minerals. Aligoté is confusing to recognize when tasting blind, it can also be rather meager. But this Aligoté is textbook: fine citrus in smell, tones of Granny Smith in first sips, very very vibrant and juicy. You long to a new sip of the wine. Paired with Asian yaki udon with pointed cabbage, oystermushrooms, bacon strips and a viscous sauce in which I added a bit saké. — 6 hours ago

Vintage 2022 | this is the cuvée Heritage with barrel aging | expressive with a grapefruit expression in smell, nice spicyness and vibrant taste with good acidity. The vintners were winemakers of the year in Bordeaux 2024 by Guide Hachette. — 5 days ago

Vintage 2010 | gave it two hours in decanter, a barnyard stinky in smell (not everyone appreciates this, I do), cedar very present, hints of spices and a good concentration. When accompanied with food it is ready to drink now. Fine right bank wine, neighbour of Cheval Blanc (I take a special interest in neighbours of the priceless top domaines). — 5 days ago

Vintage 2023 | Juicy and very quaffable grechetto. Each time I taste this brings me back to a visit to Arnaldo Capraï in Umbria. It is a emotion wine to me. Paired with a schnitzel. — 4 days ago

Vintage 2015 | first bottle of a six-box. Gave it two hours in decanter but the wine kept a bit stubborn, you can taste it is rich and complex, but for me it felt as infanticide. Huge potential. — 5 days ago

Vintage 2014 | Sometimes I do not understand my winefriends, they think this wine is too old. I think it’s great in elegance, spicyness and flint in smell, even roses, beautiful balance. It must have been the light colour and roses why four tasters placed it in Piëmont. Let’s say, acquired taste. 😏 — 5 days ago
