Critics Ratings

'This is notably riper with only a trace of reduction on the citrus, peach, apricot and hazelnut aromas that introduce round and very rich flavors that are powerfully built, delivering excellent depth and length if not necessarily great elegance on the sappy finish. I like the dry extract levels here and this packs a punch.' - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 92/100 (Jul 2007)

'Ripe, bright aromas of peach, acacia blossom and earth, complemented by spicy oak. Sweet, chewy and fresh, with a succulent sugar/acid balance for a wine from this premier cru vineyard, which has a tendency to yield low-acid fruit. (Jean-Marc Roulot noted that he picked these grapes two days before the official start of the harvest with 12.9% alcohol and a very low pH.) Peach, pear and floral flavors are pure and very persistent. One of the four barrels was new and another one was one year old.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (Sept 2006)
