Score: 95-97, Jasper Morris, MW, Inside Burgudy
From the upper part of Les Treux. Glowing purple. The nose is discreet. The palate does the Echezeaux latticework thing with lots of detail, and exceptional length. Goes on dancing, tiptoeing, across the palate for a long time. Just one barrel. The fruit stays with me.

Wine Safari Score: 94-96/100 Greg Sherwood MW. A very classy regal expression with an intricate aromatics of violet perfume and ripe berry fruit notes, all punctuated by a subtle, spicy, dusty minerality.

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.
