94 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$180 list] Sleek and focused, revealing lemon tart, baking spice and saline flavors, this white stays reserved, building steadily to the long finish. The aftertaste echoes lemon, vanilla and clove accents. Drink now through 2027. 300 cases made, 19 cases imported. (9/30/21)"

93 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Clear bright colour with a light green tint. Fresh but ripe fruit, fresh apricot and greengage. Starting to develop some power. This is very heady: is it a powerful long term wine that needs a long time to come together? Or just a bit over the top? The former. Stelvin screwcap closure. Tasted: May 2022."

Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "A more subtle and certainly more complex aromatic spice here. Ouch – incisive, pure, very wide, I assumed I’d prefer the Charmes – I was wrong. This is very executive Meursault – perfectly packaged. This bursts with finishing flavour too – simply a great wine. (Dec 2019)"
