Wine Advocate, 92-94 Points 

"Aromas of wild berries and plums mingled with hints of warm spices and rose petals introduce the 2020 Santenay 1er Cru Le Passetemps, a full-bodied, layered and concentrated wine with a velvety attack that segues into a deep, multidimensional mid-palate. More primary than the Beaurepaire, this will be less immediate and require at least a few years' patience." 

Vinous, 91-93 Points 

"The 2020 Santenay Le Passetemps 1er Cru, picked on September 1, is a blend of two blocks (though one block was degenerating due to the 101-49 rootstock).  It has a well-defined bouquet of black cherry, blueberry and a touch of pressed violet, and an underlying crushed stone aroma develops in the glass.  The palate is very smooth and harmonious, delivering a fine bead of acidity and a sensual, graphite-tinged finish.  Excellent."
