9.0

At 14% alcohol and a medium to medium plus cherry color this is a big #burgundy wine. Gevrey is always a little bit bigger than other villages, but this wine in particular and especially side-by-side with the Savigny-Les-Beaune seems particularly ripe and rich. It’s enjoyable and yet not what I was expecting only 3304 bottles made  — 8 months ago

Rose petal, black cherries dried and ripe, black plum and prune, earthy loam, blackberry violet and trumpet mushroom punctuate the bouquet. Sumptuous ripe raspberry with a meat-sweetness costs the palate seductively, settling on ripe cherry and raspberry with creative interplay of sweet tobacco and light spices. Glorious, gorgeous and variegated.

Softest golden straw with glints of green gold. Hint of gunpowder melts to reveal a pudding-soft, dried lychee which peels away to white roses, citrus pith and avocado cloud glistening with flintlock shavings in ginkgo shade. Extraordinary palate leans hard into a soft wall of olive, evaporating lemon oils, cottonseed oil, and lime nodules. Tangerine-pear impossibilities flower, riveting the tongue with pithy, zesty, and blossoming evocations. Ginger, tea and nano bits of Wrigley’s original juicy fruit.

Bright cherry and raspberry are punctuated by rosemary and thyme notes, dried violet and sesame. Dusty, dried rose petal and dried raspberry wiggle free. Firm tannins for a CM show it to be a goer. Do you go?

Lovely floral aromas arabesque, in roses and violets, heather, tulips, poppies, lavender and geraniums. Peppercorn clusters. Palate shows dusty grape that turns to dried blackberries, dried raspberry and marinate herbs, black currant and strangely: soap bubble. Meat and plum make an appearance, but the true key is the swings in tenor and complexity. Just exquisite.

Gorgeous floral bouquet features red roses, lilac, lavender and cherry blossoms above ripe red and black cherry, ripe raspberry, grilled watermelon and morels. Tart cherry palate dials into the silky groove suddenly, hinting at rose water, but resembling raspberries in a forest rain. Lightest cinnamon bark adds warmth, violet and hibiscus bites emerge, and the whole flaunts a long and sensuous length of shimmer that mystifies.

2009. Tanned and healthy grand cru. Spicy holiday nose of clove and allspice with cinnamon sprinkles. Crumbly oak with mushrooms sprouting. Touch of mint and dried, red cherry. Tart cherry in a dervish with moist, dark tobacco. Incredible depth suggesting peppercorn dusted dried black raspberries, black cherry and truffle, baker chocolate and savory. This is a beefy slice of exquisiteness! Stunning!

Deep ruby color. Surprising depth of color for a #Burgundy #Volnay still fruity and fresh for a 2020 with only 38mg/L total sulfites. An amazing example of how clean and how delicious natural low intervention wines can be if they’re made well. — 8 months ago

Green gold glinting diamond. Cap smoke, toasted sesame, wildflower honey crystallized, snap pea, chive, lime racing around lemon and zesty crystal droplets stratifying aromatically. Incredible lime zest and essence over lemon verbena, lemon pastry puff, and carnation petal. Amazing in every way.

Translucent red rose petal glinting star bright. Raspberries and violets, carnations and St. John’s wort, wisps of fungi, live tobacco. Palate floral with rose again and lightest cedar note playing into dried raspberry and tarragon. Pointy acid offering notes of cranberry and pepper with a neatly rolled singularity of purpose. Green and young at this stage, but will unravel to enormous depth.

Earthy arboreal impressions cushion soft notes of strawberry surrounded by ripe cherry and plum blossom. Impressions persist, but the strawberry turns grape-y, red licorice and the plums blacken. Fruit tannins inform the mouthfeel in their Velcro blanket. Raspberry reduction and dried blackberries inject. A smokiness suggests but manifests as grill marks on a dream. Has a certain brooding nature but ultimately hard to nail down. Needs food.

9.2

Sun baked lemon, toasted sesame, light cap smoke, lime pith, lemon zest and dried sunflower. Tertiary smells of mown dry grasses and hibiscus. Fresh lemon juice soaked white gooseberry zaps the palate into salivation even as the gunpowder alights. Lime pith honestly reflects the nose and lemon oils persist. Puréed green mango, and chive butter droplet peer just detectable.

2017. Soft lemon verbena and lemon panna -cotta notes; hint of lychee, lime zest and white pepper, but geared up on a cocktail of grapefruit and grenadine, with ginkgo fruit. Plush, lush and round nose. Lemon lime juices and zests waver between racy and ripe. Lemon pith is the lining. Tight and green in many ways but very enjoyable now!

Young animal showing a woodsy woodsman axe chop of oak; lemon-lime where the lemon is sun-baked, the lime pithy, and living sage, mint and even ripe green apple. Lemon, chamomile and caper intertwine seductively with lime pith, lemon zest, lime zest, starfruit, green grape skin, cedar dust, dried carnation, green olive essence.

Plummy color tinged with tan, nose of woodsy mushroom, brown bread turned earth. Strong entry of cherry bursting through earth and cedar root. Chewy tannins show this very much alive and brimming with secret power! So good, so nice!

2019. Rose nose with mushroom, violet and earth. Strawberry raspberry and plum sing on a silky and generous palate that never stops resonating.

Meaty-cherry nose has dark chocolate undertones and trumpet mushrooms, pretzel bread, bresaola, vaporous sarsaparilla-into cola, and pâté. Dried black cherry shows tart red into mid-palate, white pepper, cranberry and Crimini. Dark toast, raspberry and savory.

Rim to rim unvaried. Cola color showing but maintaining red-garnet. Nose of baked plum with framboise liqueur, morel, black trumpet, black truffle, and portobello. A nuttiness trailing; pecan-hazelnut. Otherworldly mouthfeel for its age. Tart cherry, violets, lightning bursts of fungus, grilled earth, cedar and cinnamon sharpen onto a point of intense roobios. Dried raspberry, cherry and blackberry pop and drop. Insane.
How is this still kicking?

Delicious #aligote #burgundy - lemon, stone fruit, faint whit flowers in an otherwise fruit forward nose, lovely acid + mineral. — 4 years ago

9.5

Gorgeous garnet, star bright reflectivity. Rim to rim continuity. Cedar dusted black cherry and strawberry glow warmly in a vanilla and baked cran and ripe red currant dappling. There are red apple leanings and roobios-tulip whispers in a complex and seductive nose that stoops in bushes of thyme and all spice pods. Rich mouthfeel exhibits bits of its green youth, but has unveiled to reveal its abundance with a lengthy decant. Tart cherry and sweet tobacco, tart raspberry essence, dried violets and rose petal, dried strawberry and beet soaked thyme. Grossly underrepresented in this assessment, as the whole is like a wondrous river in a florid wood undulating with ripples of fallen blossoms. Astounding.
