92 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2018 Beaujolais-Villages Vieilles Vignes is showing superbly, bursting with aromas of cherries, blackberries, dried flowers and carnal nuances. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and ample, with an open-knit, succulent profile and a flavorful, sapid finish. Ripe but nicely balanced, it's already drinking well. Drink: 2019-2026. (Aug 2019)"
91 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "[$24 list] Bright magenta. Aromas of ripe red berries, candied flowers and allspice are lifted by a suggestion of smoky minerals. Silky and energetic on the palate, offering bitter cherry and raspberry flavors that deepen slowly on the back half. In a substantial, concentrated style for its appellation, showing firm closing thrust, subtle tannins and a lingering suggestion of cherry pit. Drink: 2021-2026. (Oct 2019)"
