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. — 16 days 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. — 22 days 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. — 12 days ago

Gorgeous wine but the sulfur is a bit much. Will revisit. — a month ago

Still one of the great alt whites in the world.

N: swirling white and yellow flowers. Almost an echo of tropical fruit.

P: delicious. Clean. Balanced. Juicy. Liquid yellow flowers. Some crunch. Mountain steam. Amazing elegance.

9.5-9.6. Sick value at this price.

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.

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. — 22 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. — 12 days ago

La Voile. Drank by the glass. Really good CNdP. Lots of flavors, deep red berries, herbs on the midpalate. With or without food. Long finish. Some tannins, but smooth. — 7 months ago

Lovely aromas of cherry, minerals (limestone) cherry flower and some hints of red licorice. Very bright nose and very lifted. Palate is juicy and acid driven with terrific energy and wonderful driving minerality. Slight reductive funk on the nose blows off very quickly. A pretty wine and drinking well now. Very tangy and fresh with pretty tannins that are ripe. Like many 17’s this is gorgeously skinny. — 4 years ago

Kind of a hint of freshly opened bandaids, tastes dry fruity, and smooth. — 6 years 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. — 12 days 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. — 12 days 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. — 12 days ago

Vin d’Ottawa

9.2

A beautifully elegant fruit forward wine using the grapes from Stanners’ own vineyard & blending them with the grapes from Devil’s Wishbone. The first taste is restrained & austere before the fruit bursts forward.

Prince Edward County remains the best spot in Canada for show stopping Pinot Noir. — 5 months ago

Oh this is glorious I am gaga over 2021 red burgs. All bangers all the time. Deep aromas of early to mid season cherry, spices and lots of. dried rocks like limestone. Big time limestone. This is ultra transparent. Some fresh pink rose petals as well. Wow. What a palate. Nimble and ultra refined but substantial tannins. Wow this is fantastic. Palate is all early to mid season cherry fruit with silky and furry tannins. So juicy. Needs air but it is all there.

Now after air the nose is an intoxicating perfume of roses and early season cherry. Stunning palate with gorgeous sweet fruit and so linear. 9.3 to 9.4. — 2 years ago

Really very nice. Quite earthy on pop but really mellows out. Wonderfully intense nose. Finish isn’t overly long or intense but still really very enjoyable. — 4 years ago
