90 / 100"Mid crimson. An attractive reasonably perfumed nose, roses and red fruit. Medium bodied, a softer strawberry fruit, with fair length and the right fruit acid balance."
- Jasper Morris MW
90 / 100
"Ultra-fresh and cool aromas include those of red currant, plum, violet and a discreet application of wood. There is better volume and richness to the caressing medium weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the moderately rustic finish that leans out slightly as it sits on the palate. This isn’t refined but it does offer good depth and focused power."

Tasting Notes
This is one of the most complete Gevrey village wines you will find: multiple parcels scattered around the village which are vinified in three parts. One part comes from the light stony soil at the bottom of the valley, giving a cool elegance; the second is a cluster of parcels in the middle of the village on clay soil, giving body and structure; the third is a group of parcels below the grands crus, giving a complexity and finesse. The vines are all aged between 45 and 85 years, and the concentration and complexity this wine delivers for the price is hard to beat. It is a serious wine in 2021, with excellent depth of flavour and a distinctly dry, savoury finish.
