The 2020 vintage in the press:
Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2024): 96/100
J-M Quarin (Octobre 2023): 96/100 “Soft on entry, very aromatic in the middle, accompanied by a refined touch, the wine develops deliciously, offering great unity in the stimulation of all parts of the mouth. Noble, it melts on the palate, with a hint of licorice. It's unstoppable."

The 2019 vintage is rated 96/100 by J-M Quarin "Minutious on entry, particularly fragrant in the middle, with taste and a permanent mellowness in the unfolding, the wine develops complexity. Its body lengthens between the middle and the finish, while the flavors bounce back. Delicious, long, present and airy at the same time. The potential of this terroir impresses me". (October 2023)
Also rated 96/100 by N. Martin "The palate is medium-bodied with a succulent entry, sweeter than expected but not cloying, liquorice and touches of black pepper furnishing the long and quite decadent finish." (February 2023)
