92-94 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from Pernand fruit). A restrained and ultra-pure nose offers up notes of white flower, stone, pear and a touch of mineral reduction that are trimmed in a discreet application of oak. There is excellent size, weight and power to the broad-shouldered and intensely mineral-driven flavors that display a distinct bitter lemon character on the clean, focused and very serious finish that is overtly austere at present. Patience will definitely be required. Drink: 2024+. (Jun 2016)"

91-94 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "(from en Charlemagne; tasted from a new barrel): Bright, healthy yellow. Perfumed aromas of ginger, lavender and sea salt. Very light on its feet thanks to firm mineral-driven acidity and a bracing note of lime. This very suave wine, from a tiny crop, finishes adamantly dry and lively. Leroux has just two barrels of this juice, vs. a normal six or seven. (Sep 2015)"
