*All prices in bond* 86-87 Points Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. Mid red. A pretty floral red fruit, elegant and with charm, in the style of typical Pernand. Attractively perfumed on the palate too, light tannins, an agreeable lighter red for summer drinking.
*All prices in bond* 89-91 Points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. A lighter purple colour with quite a refined floral pinot nose. This upper hillside vineyard stays fresh yet has added weight with global warming. The fresh limestone feel is well supported by red fruit, with attractive persistence.
*All prices in bond* 88-90 Points Jasper Morris inside Burgundy. Mid red crimson, the nose is altogether more rustic, being served after the Ile de Vergelesses. Rugby man shoulders to this but the tannins are not ugly and the wine finishes well.
*All prices in bond* 89-92 Points Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy. A mid crimson purple colour. The Epenots ripened well in 2021 and that shows in the nature of the fruit, discreet on the nose, but filling the mouth relatively well. Just slightly bitter tannins behind. Additional elevage may pay dividends here.
*All prices in bond* 90-93 Points, Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy. Bright palish purple, with a vibrant juicy fresh red raspberry fruit. Some tannins behind but they are refined and
not bitter and the fruit is genial. Plenty to enjoy here in the appealing style of Bressandes. A long finish.

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* 89-9 Points, Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy. The Dubreuil-Fontaine Pommard vines were slightly less damaged by the frost, especially the sector En Boeuf. A full crimson red colour. There is a weight and generosity of fruit on the nose which the lesser appellations slightly missed.
*All prices in bond* 90-92 Points Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy. A brisk crimson colour. The nose shows some juiciness of red fruits. Well balanced, not too tannic, though the
*All prices in bond* 91-93 Points Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy. Mid crimson purple with a lovely raspberry seedless aspect. A little bit tighter on the palate, slightly more
concentration and though still entirely red fruit this has a darker profile. The tannins and acidity are in balance at the finish.
