More jammy fruit then the Beze, while earth is still beautifully in background & vanilla balances the tart fruit finish. - 03/07/2013

Closed at 1st tasting but opened later with earthy tones, mushroom, tart cherry raspberry. More subdued fruit on palate of cherry & earth with a little ivory soap, similar but lighter profile to the Latricieres below. - 03/07/2013

*Closed, with anchovy paste, tart cherry, as well on the palate with bright acidity. * A perfect example of why young wines need some breathing time. Both the nose and flavors gave up some interesting fruit & earth notes after another hour. - 03/07/2013

While most would say this is the French word for Quail, it is in fact meant as a contraction of cailloux(stones), in reference to the Limestone in the vineyard. Nice cinnamon on the nose, earthy, with, slight raspberry & cherry alongside a distinct strawberry component. Tannins are ever present as is some big acidity. This was my favorite wine & it just got better & better as I went back to taste later. - 03/07/2013

Named after Druid Goddesses, this wine reveals stewed cherry, raspberry & cinnamon with a mouthwatering finish. A youth that will make the Nicolas Potel proud. - 03/07/2013

Lots of fruit up front, Raspberry cookie filling dominates, with butterscotch & loamy notes make for a complex, but again, very young wine. - 03/07/2013

Jammy for a Burgundy, raspberry, strawberry, loads of fruit on nose, Raspberry ,tannins and acidity give a nice finish. What a elegant wine compared to its broader Volnay cousin. - 03/07/2013

Closed played hid & seek at first, but opened 120 min. later. Deep stewed cherry, ammonia (pyrazines?), tea, so much is still hidden :( - 03/07/2013

Very earthy, that stinky barnyard smell so tied to Burgundy. Not overdone & the dark cherry fruit is quite prominent to create a nice balance. - 03/07/2013

Pine resin, California Sinsemilla, earth, what a nose, unusual but good, on the palate raspberry, cherry with a hint of evergreen make for in my opinion a neat Burgundy. - 03/07/2013
