88 poiunts, Jasper Morris, MW, Inside Burgundy: "The brightest colour of the three, more crimson than ruby. Good red fruit mostly raspberry up front, a surprisingly peppery finish, but the tannins avoid rusticity." Tasted: 12/1/2021

*ALL PRICES IN BOND*   88 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy: Darkish sombre crimson. The nose has a gentler red fruit, there is a significant ball of soft red fruit in the mouth, strawberries and a few raspberries, some oak at the back, acidity not especially present, tannins properly ripened.

*ALL PRICES IN BOND*   88 - 89 points Jasper Morris MW Inside Burgundy: Currently in tank, on its finings. Pale colour. A light fresh bouquet with attractive fruit. Some plums, some fresh apple, a steady build up in flesh towards the back of the palate, a good balancing acidity, and fine persistence. Really very good indeed.

90 - 92 points, Jasper Morris MW Inside Burgundy: Currently in tank, on its finings. Pure lemon and lime colour. Lean white fruit up front, with good tension behind. Entirely white, no yellow plums, racy limestone feel with good length. Tense and long. Tasted: 12/1/2021

*ALL PRICES IN BOND*   89 points Jasper Morris MW Inside Burgundy: Bottled late November. Pretty lemon with a lime tint, this is a little stricter at first on the nose, after bottling, but with a wonderful wealth of apple and fresh pear fruit behind, and very good length. Extremely successful. Fine long aftertaste.

*ALL PRICES IN BOND*  92 points Jasper Morris MW Inside Burgundy: Bottled end November. Mid yellow in colour, but fresh. There is an impressive weight of fruit for this hillside vineyard. Significant volume of fresh fruit, tinged with its usual lime blossom character, and good crisp finish with just the right acidity.

88 points, William Kelley, Robertparker.com: Notes of pear, grapefruit and bread dough introduce the 2020 Bourgogne Chardonnay Orane, a medium-bodied, satiny and incisive wine with a tangy spine of acidity and a saline finish. This has turned out nicely.

*ALL PRICES IN BOND*  89 points, William Kelley, Robertparker.com: Derived, as readers may remember, from vines growing in granite soils near Bissey-sous-Cruchaud in the Sâone-et-Loire, the 2020 Bourgogne Aligoté Le Cran is a medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural wine evocative of waxy orchard fruit, citrus oil and fres

*ALL PRICES IN BOND*  5 STAR WINE   93 points and a 5 STAR wine, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy: Dark purple-black, a riper nose here, 50% whole bunch accordingly, which helps to make a most attractive perfume. Certainly, the stems are more evident at the back but will integrate with a year or two in bottle.
