94 points Andy Howard, MW (Decanter): "Very restrained on the nose at the moment but there is clearly lots of purity and drive here. On the palate, this has great acidity and concentration, aided by the old vines used for the cuvée. Very precise and delineated on the finish. Has the concentration to age beautifully for five years at least. Drinking Window: 2024-2030. (Oct 2023)"

92 points/'Outstanding' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "From a 2.5 ha holding divided between 2 ha in Côte de Fontenay and .5 ha in L'Homme Mort. Here the wood is borderline generous and sufficient to fight somewhat with the vaguely exotic nose of white orchard fruit, especially peach, along with nuances of quinine, ocean breeze and algae. There is at once good richness but also good cut to the slightly less stony but even more complex flavors that display fine persistence on the clean, dry and refreshing finale. Note that this is plump but sufficiently structured to repay up to a decade of keeping yet it should also drink well young. Drink 2030+. (Oct 2024)"
