Decanter, November 2021

This small premier cru is at the very top of the slope, above Lavaux St-Jacques, and just that much further into the combe, making this a cool site. True to form, it retained a bright and fresh, high-toned red fruit...

James Suckling awarded this wine an impressive score of 96, praising its "expansive nose of fresh black cherry and dry earth," and noting its "massive tannin structure" that evokes the gravitas of a Grand Cru. Suckling suggests that while it can be enjoyed now, it will truly shine from 2025 onward, promising a "magnificent drinking experience."

Decanter also rated this wine highly with a score of 94. They highlighted its bright and fresh red fruit quality, accented by rose petals and spice. The wine's tannic grip and crisp acidity contribute to a lingering finish.
