Wine Critic Reviews

Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (91): About Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy

Wine Enthusiast (91): The 80-year-old vines have given impressive concentration to this wine. Partial wood aging brings spice and a dry core of tannins to the party. The wine is still not quite ready to drink, so wait until late 2021. Roger Voss

Wine Enthusiast (92): Old vines on granite give this dense, ripe and full wine, with tannins that are now softening. It is chiselled with minerality and concentration. Drink from 2023, Roger Voss
