Tighter than my previous bottle and needed a solid 45–60 minutes to really come alive, but once it did the wine was beautiful: dark cherry, a hint of licorice, florals and tremendous purity. The palate is velvety, sweet, haunting and ethereal, but still carries the amplitude, richness and density of a great 2018, with that distinctive Clos des Chênes sweetness and depth. Brilliant now, but I would still give it another three or four years if I had more bottles. — 6 days ago

Flash tasting; no formal notes. The 2019 “Clos des Chênes” is a light ruby; elegant and lithe with modest structure. Balanced but too youthful at this stage. Better after 2029. — 3 years ago

Needs an hour decant.

Nose : faded dried lilacs. A beautiful old woman selling books in the market. Profound poetry written on faded ink and read from withered pages. A tinge of earth.

Palate: so silky. Fleeting but in a persistent way. Nothing obvious or dramatic. Balance. An experience more than an event.

For me, a lover who jilted me. But still a love I remember fondly.

Burgundy. This could only be burgundy.

2017 vintage. Staff Burgundy tasting. Last tasted 1.24.26 (9.2), 7.7.25 (9.2) and 1.5.25 (9.3). Really unified and consistent with a medium body currently. 10 bottles left but stock option of 3 cases of the selfsame 2017 available. Will be exercising that option. This was showing really well today. 2.17.26. — 7 months ago
