The 2022 vintage is rated 94/100 by N. Martin (Vinous) « It has a very pure bouquet with red cherries, figs and kirsch, the old vine material (averaging 70-80 years) lending complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with fine structure, mineral driven with a classic, slightly austere finish that obliges cellaring. Superb. » (May 2023)

Vinous (Neal Martin - May 2023): 95/100 “It has a very complex mineral nose of black cherry, tea leaf and crushed stone, with floral scents emerging on aeration. [...] This is a very pure, beautifully balanced style, with a satin-textured finish that is one of the most caressing to be found in this vintage. Remarkable.”
