91-93 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Racked yesterday, sample taken previously from barrel. 13.9% alcohol which is in balance for a Morgeot wine. One of the paler colours and quite chiselled. A bundle of white fruit well supported by the oak, a little tint of fresh acidity, medium bodied plus, Morgeot is less heavy than it used to be and so much the better. A little iodine touch at the finish. (Nov 2021)"

90-93 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Here the expressive nose displays a phenolic note on the ripe aromas of mostly poached white orchard fruit and a hint of rosemary oil. There is fine richness and density to the bigger-bodied and powerful flavors that exhibit fine length on the bone-dry finale. This won't win any plaudits for refinement but with that said, neither is it rustic. Drink: 2028+. (Apr 2023)"
