I decided to revisit a bottle that was the winner of our horizontal tasting of MSD 2016 village (10 producers tasted blind by 10 participants). And once again this is a hit for a village. Lots of complexity, licorice, spices and red fruits... more than satisfactory length for this level of appellation. — 6 years ago
Lovely! Complex and bright with the terroir coming through more with every taste. I loved this wine and found it to be an incredible value for the price point! — 6 years ago

Dark and rich. Spice and cola. Has a solid acid backbone. — 8 years ago
Doesn’t drink like a Chablis, rather closer to a chassagne montrachet. — 3 years ago
My final btl of a half case, and the best btl. On the nose: hoisin, game, black cherry, a hint of char, spice and perfume. On the palate: excellent acidity, black cherry and wild strawberry..very hi-toned, supple and weightless on the palate. On the finish: attenuated tannin, some cocoa and strawberry, and a touch of white pepper. Drank alongside a '14 Charlopin Marsannay Echezots, and I think this was unquestionably the better wine. — 6 years ago

Still a very robust wine. Not in the least past its prime. There’s a lot of fruit left, but there’s also a lot of oak., even after 26 years. This has dried out the wine a little bit. Don’t make too much out of my criticism. The wine is very enjoyable, so the bottle was finished without any complaints from my friends at the table.

Good herb aroma and concentration. Later on Strawberry. 3 hours, Splendid, mix fruity flavor including plum, tropical fruits. I felt the same before when I tasted grand cru in Bourgogne. Philippe Charlopin Morey St. Denis Pinot Noir 2016 @2730, Kping - , 211020-211126 — 5 years ago
Dark fruited built on an acidic framework with firm but fine tannins. Interesting reductive ( in a good way) for a house that is reputed to use little sulfur. But this 1er has chops for sure (my first experience with Bel-Air), which immediately confirms that its neighbors are all quite “grand”! — 7 years ago
This bottle appropriating @Carla Hine and I’m ashamed. — 7 years ago
Like candy.... going to buy as much of this as I can find. Definitely benefited from the company of my beautiful wife, but killer stuff all around. — 8 years ago

2017 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 45 minutes. Medium body. Full, rich flavors up front. Those thin out mid and end palates as the wine is transitioning from the teen years to early adulthood. Regardless, drinking beautifully now. 4.30.26. — 2 months ago
