94 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "A lovely density of ripe, black plum fruit, with notes of smoke and earth. The texture is silky and yet mouth-filling, almost sweet, yet there is enough tannin and structure to age this for a decade at least. From a parcel of 0.26ha at the bottom of Chaignots planted in a bit heavier soil. The grapes were picked at 13.3% potential alcohol and fermented with a gentle extraction prior to ageing in cask (30% new). Drinking Window: 2025-2050. (Oct 2021)"
93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The Vignes Rondes seems to have suffered the most from the hydric stress of the vintage here, as the wine is a bit more concentrated in personality than most of the other wines in the range this year, despite only coming in at 13.2 percent octane. But, despite its character, the wine shows excellent potential, with the nose wafting from the glass in a complex blend of sweet dark berries, cassis, smoked duck, bitter chocolate, dark soil tones, a touch of licorice and a nice framing of spicy oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very sappy at the core, with beautifully integrated and again, quite suavely-textured tannins, tangy acids and impressive focus and length on the very well-balanced finish. This will need time to blossom, but it will be a fine, fine drink when it is ready to go. 2032-2080. (Nov/Dec 2021)"
