94 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "The lieux-dits Les Seuvrées, La Justice, Billard, and Le Fourneau all contribute grapes for this cuvée. 10% fermented as whole clusters give just a touch of well-integrated menthol character, but there is a perfect purity of rose-scented cherry fruit here and a texture that balances elegance and traditional Gevrey backbone. The tannins are firm, and the wine retains admirable freshness for the vintage. This is a marvelous village-level Gevrey. Drinking Window: 2023-2030. (Jan 2021)"
91-93 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Racked. Benjamin rejected one supplier for yield. What he has made is excellent. Mid purple colour, with a very elegant attractively ripe deep red fruit nose. Excellent fresh mineral touch at the back, the savoury detail for which Gevrey is noted, fine boned and very persistent. 62 barrels! (Nov 2019)"
Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "Still one of the most important cuvées here in terms of volume, containing Seuvres – 50% – and Justice and Fournoux and some from Brochon. Racked into foudre – ‘There weren’t many of us harvesting in the Côte de Nuits on 05 September! This has a wonderful nose – open, fine fruit and at the same time perfumed – bravo. In the mouth a little less fine focus, generous yet still fresh over the palate. It’s delicious and smells gorgeous – the finish reflecting the nose. If the first palate tightens up then grand, grand villages. (Dec 2019)"
