Not nearly as good as I would expect from a premier cru. Not as big and complex as you would expect from a 2005. Maybe more age would help, I don't know. Acid was too prominent.

This bottle was consumed with BBQ'd cedar plank salmon. It went very well with the food. The wine had a solid body with a nice nose. I gave it an 88 because it was lacking something. It's structure was not complete. Don't get me wrong it was a delightful wine. I would buy more from this producer. Drink now or hold another year.

Needs to breathe at least 2hrs - still tannic- serve with lighter red meats or stronger white meats. Can go for at least another year oe two

I think this wine may get better after a day of open rest. But still good fresh after corking q

I like this a lot more than others here. Yes, it is a little rough. No, it is not what one expects to get from a 1er cru Burgundy, but there is a lot going on. Lots of fruit, funky earth, tannin... This would pair really well with red meats or tomato sauces. For $22 CAD, it's a bargain.

Loads of strawberry on the nose & palate. Some cedar & a bit of tart cherry fruit. Very simple, fruity, lots of acidity.. just what I'd expect from a $22 Burgundy.

Haskell's Wine Sale Tasting; 4/5/2010-4/6/2010 (Bloomington) : Nose shows strawberries, minerals and cedar. The cedar is a bit much on the palate otherwise a few more points. Earth dominate wine and medium finish.

Nose is really simple with some red fruit but no minerality of earth Palate is quite thin actually with unbalanced acidity....really tart on the back end....short Not impressive at all....still an a** beating at 21.95

Utterly forgetable. An example of burgundy at its worst.

tart - acidic - unbalanced - no funk ... wow --this has all the things I want to avoid in PN. Scratch this off the list ( and it had dropped in price on the AprilLCBO re-release to $22 ... damm )

Pop n pour. medium-bodied with a nose of cherry, strawberry, red flowers and a hint of earthy funkiness. Ripe, yet balanced and rewarding on the palate with lively acidity and a smooth, generous finish. Drink through 2013.

light-bodied, pale ruby tones, red fruits (esp. strawberry) on the nose, overly tart, disappointing finish, needs time but an underwhelming Mercurey nonetheless.

This my idea of what Burgundy is all about. A beautiful Mercurey from the Cote Chalonnaise, light, pale but with that wonderful barnyard bouquet.
