Avis professionnels

James Suckling (100)

Astonishing, with all the hallmarks that make great Grand Cru Burgundy adored around the world. Expressive and ethereal aromas of lemon confit, salted nuts, lanolin and beeswax with oyster shells, honeysuckle, toffee, nori and flint. The unctuous, refined palate has a fine line of acidity and a creamy, mouthwatering and long mouthfeel. The intense, never-ending finish is driven by its mineral core. World-class, this is as close to perfection as one could achieve from this excellent vintage. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Decanter (100)

Oyster shell, iodine, soy and umami notes on the nose. They marry with a clear salted caramel popcorn aroma with lemon balm and a soft touch of dried herbs and toasted brioche. Succulent and so juicy but calmly - the citrus lemon and lime juice slowly creep along the palate, lengthening and deepening the impression while the vanilla, white chocolate and ginger spice gives the pixelation and complexity. Round, utterly moreish from the first sip - this is engaging, mouthwatering, alive and so utterly enjoyable. I’d never tire of drinking this wine. Lovely toasted pineapple, nectarine fruit, peach flesh and undeniable lemon juice but with a toasty, slightly spiced and herbal edge. It’s incredibly specific and unique to this wine. Owner and winemaker Will Berliner. 3.64pH. 4,888 bottle production.
