92-95 points/'Don't miss!' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from purchased fruit). A fresh, pure and more complex nose grudgingly offers up aromas of iodine, citrus confit, shellfish and mineral reduction. Here too the larger-scaled flavors possess a lovely texture with slightly better energy on the powerful, focused, muscular and bracingly dry finish. This is very firm and while there is enough mid-palate fat to allow this to be approached young, it should easily have the stuffing and requisite balance to reward extended cellaring. Drink: 2032+. (Oct 2021)"

94 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "From the southern, cooler side of Valmur – for which Olivier is grateful in the face of rising temperatures, this purchased fruit delivers a pleasant array of peaches, nectarines and tangerines. Svelte and lightly curvy on the palate, lightly chalky tannins arrive on the finish to deliver a delightfully zingy dryness. 2022-32. (2022)"

91-93 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Made from purchased fruit, vinified and aged in tank. Pale lemon yellow slight kimmeridgian pyrazines. Clean pure white fruit with a grassy touch, no more than medium concentration for a grand cru, until the finish which stretches out very well. (Jul 2021)"
