Gorgeous, classic Burgundy nose of red cherry, sour cherry, spice, sous-bois, wet earth, fresh moss and desiccated leaves. The palate is opulent yet remarkably light on its feet, with terrific concentration and density, that beautiful 2023 progression from sour to mid-season cherry, and barely sweet, velvety tannins. Pure, clean, juicy and wonderfully balanced, with real depth despite the featherweight feel. Just a terrific, immensely drinkable Pinot. — 15 days ago

Barrel sample. Amazing tannins. Dense, mineral, and the explosiveness on the finish is insane. Fine minerality, crazy length, and that Boussey fruit intensity all stretched over a serious frame. This is going to be terrific.

Barrel sample. Nose is Burgundian spice cake. Melty tannins, insane fruit complexity, and that Taillepieds mineral spine underneath. This is elite. One of the most complete wines of the tasting. — 3 months ago

Wow, what a nose. Wood shop, mineral, lemon, classic Meursault depth but the acidity is screaming in the best way. So fresh, so precise, and the lemony finish just drives and drives. 9.5 for me. This is a killer bottle. — 3 months ago

Barrel sample. Dense and crazy. Stony, firm, elegant, animal, sous bois, with unreal concentration. This has that classic Pommard muscle but it is not clumsy. Wild, dark, structured, and very alive. — 3 months ago

Barrel sample. Denser than usual. Big mama Volnay. Chewy, dense, and loaded with unreal fruit. This has more body and push than I expected, but the village perfume is still there. Hedonistic Volnay with shoulders. — 3 months ago

Floral and gorgeous aromatically. Juicy, hazelnutty, and beautifully put together. Architecturally sound, which is what I want in Puligny. Stunning wine. This has lift, polish, and real village clarity. — 3 months ago

Little kiss of wood, sea air, mineral and finesse. Rich but energetic, sappy and very pure. This has that Boussey thing where the wine feels generous without losing its line. Delicious, clean, and seriously drinkable. — 3 months ago

Gorgeous wine. Red fruit, mineral, dust, grip. Juicy and tannic, with real substance and guts. Not trying to be elegant right now. This is a bruiser with a long, sapid, grippy finish and plenty of time ahead. — 3 months ago

Gorgeous red fruit and texture. Juicy, charming and substantial. Not the most elegant wine here, but the fruit sucrosity is amazing. So pure, so dense, and so delicious. This is Beaune with real stuffing and a big smile. — 3 months ago

Complexity on the nose immediately. Insane purity. Dense, deep, and the palate is just spectacular. This has premier cru authority all over it: power, line, mineral structure, and a finish that keeps building. — 3 months ago

Juicy, friendly vintage, with wood showing but plenty of energy behind it. Long finish, very pure, and already so easy to like. This has that 2025 openness but still enough structure to stay serious. — 3 months ago

Great aroma. Spice, wood shavings, richer and denser than the 2024s, more round and generous, but still with energy. This has a broader frame and real depth. Big step up in volume and presence. — 3 months ago

lovely and deeply fruited nose but also very mineral under all that. Juicy and super concentrated, silky and sweet but youngest of all the wines and very very mineral finish. Needs maybe 3-7 years. very delicate — 3 years ago

9.5

Nose is very saline. Some hazelnuts.

Palate is rich. No longer oaky (integrated) but it’s not bashful. Lovely salinity. Very Good balance for a rich wine.


I need to have this with chicken with cream sauce and morels.


This is ready to drink.
