93 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "Pronounced aromas of green apple and lime peel. There is plenty of acidity, but more than that there is a lovely silky character as well. Leroux describes the 0.75ha parcel in Meursault Vireuils as 'limestone on limestone', noting that there are many limestone pebbles in the thin soils here. Even in 2020, the grapes were picked at a moderate 13% alcohol, and fermentation in used casks did nothing to hide the purity of the fruit. Drinking Window: 2022-2035. (Nov 2021)"

91-93 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Upper part. Pale in colour with a light lime tint, racy fresh hillside nose. Lime notes infuse the white fruit at the finish, and then just enough flesh when you think this is maybe going to be too strict. Fineboned and racy. 13.2% alcohol with a pH of 3.12. (Nov 2021)"
