Robert Parker (87)

The 2016 Saint-Aubin La Princée comes from ten different parcels, each affected by frost to different degrees according to Olivier Lamy. It has a fresh lime and Granny Smith apple scented bouquet. The palate is fresh with bitter lemon, great tension, not shrill but certainly sharp with a precise saline finish. Angular at the moment, give this 12 months in bottle, then drink over the next 3 or 4 years.

Almost painful, this is so high in acidity! Wait and wait and wait for this – but he does have a fine track record…

Burghound (89)

A cool, pure and restrained nose grudgingly offers up notes of citrus, pear and soft floral scents. The highly energetic flavors are also quite precise and chiseled on the equally bone dry finale.

Jasper Morris (91)

Yields varied between 15 hl/ha where frosted and 50 where not, which was two thirds of the vines. Good weight of fruit, with white fruit notes, lovely energy on the palate, quite broad shouldered but this is balanced by good acidity. Lemon notes, plus white stone fruit.
