92 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "Surprisingly structured for a Volnay, even premier cru. The grapes for this wine come from a 0.65-hectare parcel at the base of the slope, where the alluvial soils assure impressive ripeness. In 2017 one-quarter of the fruit was fermented as whole clusters. The result shows a remarkable concentration of plum and black fig fruit scented with rose petals and a suggestive mineral note. The texture is dense but not heavy, and the length is good. Drinking Window: 2023-2035. (Jan 2021)"

89-92 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Dense dark red, with a fine sense of concentration. The middle fills out beautifully, this was green-thinned and has the extra note of concentrated deep red fruit, and a tannin or two in support – but the fruit wins. Still needs a little more time in barrel. (Nov 2018)"
