93-95 points Jasper Morris, MW: "100% Languettes, from the top part under the wood, a cool site. Stylish at first, very weighty behind, a wealth of pure white fruit, the stones tingle up the finish, Some spice from the barrel too. Interesting complex wine, less mineral than some. (Dec 2019)"

18+ points Julia Harding, MW (JancisRobinson.com): "One-quarter new oak, 228 litres. Racked the wine that was in new oak into an older barrel after 4–5 months to avoid too much oak. Barrel sample.Smells sweeter than the Bâtard and the Chevalier. Ripe lemon and a note of orange. Spicy too. Rich and creamy and mouth-filling, deep like a well and so rounded that you think the acidity is soft because there’s just a generosity and sweetness but the backbone of acidity is there. Chewy, deep and long, and lots of spice. Drinking Window: 2026-2033. (11/20/19)"
