Vinous - Neal Martin (88)The 2023 Bourgogne Aligoté was bottled in April. It has a clean and sharp bouquet—a little more malic, perhaps from the fruit located up in the Hautes-Côtes. The palate is well balanced, a little oily in texture, with fine acidity and a lighter, sour lemon- and ginger-tinged finish. Enjoy this over the next four or five years. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (87-88)A lighter crimson ruby. The nose takes a moment to come out. A leafy note to the fresh red fruit, medium bodied, a little leaner than the Bourgogne but fine-boned and will develop further when the oak subsides. 60% vignes basses, the other two cuvees 100%. Drink from 2026-2028. Tasted Nov 2024. |

Vinous (85-87)The 2020 Bourgogne Rouge comes from two parcels, one close to where Les Croix Blanches is located. This has quite a high-toned, very floral bouquet that errs close to Syrah in personality. The palate is ripe on the entry with soft black plummy fruit, a touch of dessicated orange peel on the finish that is just a little short. |
