Critics Ratings
“Very focused and lifted and pure. Super-juicy but not as immediately obvious as a Perrières thanks to its acidity. Winemaker Frédéric Weber cites saltiness. Actually this, for once, could be described as lightly buttery.” - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, +17.5/20 (Jul 2021)
“At this stage, this wine is closed, tight and mineral in character. As befits a great Perrières, it will be a serious, structured wine, textured and full of nervy, steely feeling, softening later into mature spice and toast.” - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 94/100
"Very aromatic nose, with fruit and floral notes. Just as perfumed on the palate, this wine expresses its richness and fullness without the slightest heaviness. Good ageing potential." - Bouchard Pere & Fils
