Vinous (N.Martin - January 2024): 91/100 “The Rully Les Saint-Jacques 2022 has a beautiful bouquet, with aromas of orange blossom and light nettle that blossom in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a slightly viscous texture and superb concentration, quite powerful and impressively dense on the finish. Very good potential.”
Bourgogne Aujourd'hui (April 2023): 17/20 “Sweet floral, spice and black fruit notes... The palate is solid, with roundness, fine tannins and a liquorice finish. A wine of character.”More- To keep or to drink:
