89 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Was barrel now in foudre. All village in 2017, the 1er cru has been made apart. Medium deep red, with an attractive savoury deep red fruit on the nose, followed by a surprising weight of fresh cherry fruit and then some additional lifted quality from a few stems (Fourneaux) at the back. Not massive but very pretty, and actually with exceptionally persistence. (Nov 2018)"
16.5/20 points Jancis Robinson: "Fournaux (structured) and Ez Connardises – heart of Savigny on old alluvial soils that give fruit-driven wines, says Ben Leroux. 10% whole bunch. One year in barrel then racked to foudre. Will be bottled in January. Lightish cherry red and much more savoury on the nose than the Bourgogne. Earthy in a good way. Lovely ripe red fruit purity and finely made tannins. Mouth-watering and so moreish. Lightly chewy finish with a fluid core. Drink: 2020-2024. (1/18/19)"
