Lea & Sandeman review
Very fat, almost oily. Rich with an effect of leesiness. Grilled almonds. Concentrated and weighty.Other reviews and comments
This comes from three different terroir. The top part of Les Bressandes; one and a half barrels from Les Renards, which gives the minerality and 2 barrels from Les Chaumes, which is much lower and in the Aloxe area. Muffled and tense on the nose, but there is richness on the palate. A big step up in concentration. The finish is compact. Much more stone on this, rounded, smooth stone and ripe weight and concentration on the finish. Good balance and tension. Fine to fine+. From 2011
Sarah Marsh MW, The Burgundy Briefing
This is distinctly more elegant than it usually is with beautifully fresh and even airy mineral and earth-infused ripe green fruit along with peach and pear notes that introduce big, rich and muscular full-bodied flavors that deliver real size and weight, all wrapped in a delicious, complex, intense, palate staining and notably citrusy finish. 2011+
92/100
