Jasper Morris, 91-93 Points 

"Also destemmed for the most part, just leaving 15% of whole bunches. More purple than crimson with a light reduction on the nose. There are just enough stems to provide some zest on the palate opening out the deep red fruit which is fresher than the Bourgogne, Interestingly complex with some flesh on the bones, and no excess heat. 30 hl/ha. 14% alcohol. Tasted Jan 2021." 

Burghound, 92 Points 

"Note: from Santenots du Milieu. A slightly riper yet equally fresh nose speaks of poached plum, black cherry coulis, cassis and a range of spice and floral elements. Here too the sleek medium-bodied flavors possess a gorgeous texture while flashing evident power on the balanced, firm and youthfully austere finale where the only nit is touch of warmth. This offers ample development potential that should unfold over the next 10 to 12 years. One to look for.*Burghound Outstanding!*"
