Decanter, 94 Points 

"A seductive black cherry and plum fruit touched with rose petals. The texture has a rich and supple edge, with an ethereal fruit character and a balance that distinguishes it from its neighbours. Produced from four parcels spread around the village. In 2020, Roumier fermented 30% of the grapes as whole clusters. He notes that the village-level vines suffered more from the heat than the premiers crus. Despite these trials, Roumier has yielded marvellous results here." 

Jasper Morris, 91-93 Points 

"35% whole bunch. Dense purple, a slight reduction on the nose, a little touch of coffee. Complex dark fruits below, and a little toasty torrefaction but not much, and not enough to destabilise the joy of this cuvée. Much more vibrant fresh cherry fruits emerge behind. Very long aftertaste." 

Burghound, 91 Points 

"There is a touch of mocha on the aromas of black raspberry, spice and violet. There is fine freshness and energy to the sleek and tension-filled medium weight flavors that possess both an attractive texture and solid precision on the complex and lingering finale where a touch of sour cherry slowly emerges. This quality effort is sufficiently structured to reward mid-term cellaring."
