88-90, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Monthelie Village comes from purchased fruit whereby Parent controls the harvest, raised in 350-liter barrels using 35% new oak. It has an uncomplicated nose with orange zest, and light peach skin touches.
*All prices in bond* 93-95 pts 4 Stars, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy This is still in barrel, unracked. Pale primrose, the bouquet is less easy to discern at this stage, with a minor oxidative note and some reduction. Put that to one side.
*All prices in bond* 88 - 90 pts, 3 Stars, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy Pale lemon colour. Not much nose in these small glasses. There is good tension here on the palate, a crisp lemon note along with some fresh apples. Not immediately intense but with good length. A little touch of the positive youthful bitters.
92 pts, Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2023. Rich and savory in the glass, the 2022 Bramito della Sala slowly opens to show hints f young peach and apricot, crushed rocks and hints of cardamon. This is silky yet lifted in feel with ripe white pit fruits complemented by hints of vailla bean and lemon custard.
Straw yellow color with greenish reflections, complex aroma with notes of apricot and orange and acacia flowers. Welcoming on the palate thanks to its natural aroma, it has a long persistence.
