Allen Meadows' BurgHound:
"A cool, pure and very pretty nose reflects notes of green apple, citrus and discreet spice wisps. There is very good delineation to the delicious middle weight flavors that are suffused with underlying tension and fine balance on the clean and dry finale. This is an excellent Bourgogne - moreover, it is one that should reward short to mid-term cellaring." (Jun 2022)
