Wow. Excellent on the nose. An amazingly soft & delicate dance on the palette that twirls a classic chard with a soft vanilla and buttery background with just the right citrus finish. Need to buy more than one bottle at a time! — a year ago

Haut-Bailly Dinner in SF with Veronique Sanders of Haut-Bailly.

The 2010 is an excellent vintage but, it is for the later part of your life or your children.

This is drinking beautifully with a 4 hour decant. The structure & tension are just starting to their softening stage. The length and balance are in the forget about it range and will just get better & better. Ripe, stunning fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, plum & a touch of blue fruits. Moist clay & top soils, stones, mint, graphite, fresh tobacco, dark cola, anise to black licorice with stunning, withering floral bouquet. Acidity is perfect. The finish is everything you want in a Bordeaux.

Definitely a 99-100 point wine in 15 years plus.

Served with the Cheese Plate; Red Hawk, Hop Along & Roquefort. @Mathilde French Bistro

Dark stone fruit, dark garnet velvet in color, deceptively light nose with strawberry and a touch of ash. Front palate of dark cherry, hint of cocoa. Slightly more fruit full finish with strong, balanced tannins. I’d buy for home too. — 7 years ago

Had this one 5 years ago and it is better than I remember it. What a fantastic wine and vintage. Thought it was a high end Barolo when I tried it blind. But somehow a little more delicate and refined. — a year ago

Olivier Cousin’s son, doing cool things. This is on the light side of oxidative Chenins, just a little buzz upfront and then settles into refreshing sours. Intriguing. — 6 years ago

Great intensity but tight and not giving much at the moment. Focused, lemony, mineral, steel. Structured and incredibly concentrated on the palate. Tremendous balance and energy. Hold and wait in excitement! — 7 years ago
