Medium lemon colour . This shows some maturity on the nose with honied lemon , butter and slightly chalky white peach. On the palate this has good intensity and balance with nice acidity , honied lemon , white peach , chalk dust and wet stone , toasty notes on the moderate finish . At peak now , and I would drink over the next 3-5 of years. — 7 months 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. — a year ago

Like previous bottles, I absolutely adored this. Notes are consistent as before.

As an interesting comparison, the Guyon had a perfumed nose (whole cluster) like the Bouley, but was less intense, simpler, and fruitier. On the palate, it was less structured than the Bouley, but was tangier and juicier. — 10 months ago

Flash tasting; no formal notes. The 2018 “Clos de la Perrière” is a Bertagna monopole. It’s pretty with fresh red fruits, forest floor and some pleasant baking spices. There more depth than the 2018 Guyon Bourgogne tasted just before (as it should!). Better after 2025. — a year ago

Needed some time to blow away the reduction but once it did, the aromas were incredible - Spice box, dried florals, musky woody perfume, red fruits. The palate felt quite soft with ripe fruits, yet still manages to remain quite juicy. Honestly, it felt a little grenache-like this round - like a really nice whole-cluster grenache. — 2 years ago

Not an expert in burgundy but I liked it a lot. It was a risky bottle that was stored in unknown conditions. 2009 drunk in 2024. Nevertheless, it showed great balance of acidity, sweetness and tannins, although somewhat disassembled structure. Power manifests itself when you sip but not for long. First notes were lac and leather, then periods of quietness, but then evolved with fresh oaky notes, then jammed wild strawberries, and then freshly crushed ripe blueberries. Overall evolution was not long but did driver very very pleasant experience. — 8 months ago

Flash tasting; no formal notes. The 2018 “Clos du Roy” is a light ruby and showing deeper, darker fruit and more structure than the 2019 “Clos de Chênes” (as it should). Balanced. The finish is also longer and slightly more powerful than the Volnay. Better after 2028 — a year ago
