Absolutely stunning. Quite the contrast to the Colombiere, as this is much more serious and structured and the Aux Cras terroir shines through. New oak is more prevalent, of course, but it’s so integrated already and doesn’t get in the way. The nose is incredibly intense and aromas of dark fruit, sweet spice and a wet rock minerality waft from the glass. While this wine is let’s say, more masculine and less sexy than the Colombiere, there is still a seductive Vosne-like perfume that’s so undeniably CLB and lures you in. The palate is powerful and is full of energy, while at the same time remaining focused and seamlessly delineated. To no surprise length is superior to the Colombiere. Totally irresistible now, but boy this will be a knockout down the road. — 3 years ago
A unicorn wine. This is a completely different expression of Chardonnay compared to the Grand Cru Beaune Whites preceding this. This had some similarities to Chablis. Minerally with a honeyed finish. Should be better in 5 years. I was thrilled to be able to taste this wine. — 7 months ago

With a one hour decant (please do not comment with burgundies should not be decanted) it’s an amazing wine. Very elegant with sweet fruit notes but also some stems. Supremely elegant. — 12 days ago
