The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “It's refinement that prevails in this filiform balance carried by a breathless chalky sensation. Don't hesitate to discover it from 2025 and over the next fifteen years.”
Jean-Marc Quarin (April 2022): 94/100 “Beautiful dark red, crimson. Intense, fine, fruity, fresh and ripe nose. Delicate on the palate and immediately endowed with a meticulous, refined touch, the wine evolves tasty, tender, slightly velvety, towards a sappy finish in which a touch of vivacity returns.”
