Dark rubi robe, nose of crushed flowers, dark fruits and spices. Kaleidoscopic mouth of red and dark fruits, liquorice, spices and violets. Dark and broody, it has great structure and potential but its very drinkable now: top notch stuff. — a month ago

By now everyone knows the name of Charles Lachaux, quickly becoming a Burgundy legend, and while 2017 is the vintage where Charles’ stylistic changes are known to take full effect, by 2013 such changes had already begun once he took the reigns the prior year—more judicial use of new oak, increasing amounts of whole clusters each subsequent vintage, higher and denser canopies, just to mention a few. His 2019 vintage is what did it for me. Simply incredible wines.

But at age 12, 2013 Chaumes, 50% whole cluster and 50% new oak is showing beautifully after some required air, with a seductively elegant perfume, terrific fruit density and concentration for the vintage, and a long mineral, spice and saline inflicted finale. Pre-2017, I think the Vosne bottlings are the best, but I think they need at least 10 years to absorb the oak. But now, everything’s great, even on release! — 6 months ago

Lighter style for Cathiard. Floral with rose petal, cranberry, potpourri overtones. Good to drink now while I wait for the Vosne. — 3 years ago

Just down the hill from Aux Boudots in NSG and just south of Chaumes in Vosne Romanée. Lovely bottle that went very well with Boeuf Bourguinon. Opened 2 hours ahead and slow O’d. Harmonious. — 6 years ago

A great noise. Really poised vine fruit with spice, poached pear. Sweet plum and black cherry. Violets and some spice. Very classy. More exciting on the nose than the palate — 9 months ago

E’ molto buono, specialmente a mia moglie piace. Lei continua di bere, e’ raro veramente. Il gusto di honey, ma non e’ dolce troppo, sarebbe tipica a Burgone. — 5 years ago

I rated this 3 years ago! So what happened. Orange nose. Needs about 45 min of air. Woody, plenty of tannins left, Drink up it’s beyond it’s peak. Chalky. Cranberry. — 6 years ago

Vosne-Romanée: definitely expensive. But worth it. I mean, I don't drink VR often so every bottle carries a lot of expectations. This pinot is very fresh: fruity and herbal nose. Cherrie and black currant (nose and palate). This herbal note is hard to identify. Maybe a lemongrass? Because the finish is citrus (or spicy, I'm not sure). An interesting pinot noir. — 7 years ago

This is the closest I’ve ever come to Coche-Dury in a glass without actually drinking Coche-Dury. Same electric mineral snap. Same charged, high-tension citrus and stone. Same feeling of a white wine lit from within, like the whole thing is running on buried voltage. I am now on a mission to find this wine, because once you taste a Bourgogne Blanc that opens a little side door to Meursault heaven, you do not just shrug and move on. — 3 months ago

Outstanding wine with notes of old leather, forest floor, dried cherry, with some vibrant acidity. — 7 months ago

15 years. Cardamom, tons of tannins left may be too much? I fear this will turn into either something special 10 years from now or loose it. Lime, crushed marble, port. Kind of rough to taste right now very spicy. — 2 years ago

BEAUT! exactly what I want from a light, summer white wine. Slightly fruity, slightly rich, well balanced acidity. Could drink this forever! Also discovered a new region in fiefs vendéens and would love to try a red from mareuil — 5 years ago

With 2 hours of Audouze style airing the wine was absolutely singing! Tremendous freshness, lovely minerality and a superb finish this wine is a tremendous overachiever! — 7 years ago
