Rated 94-98 points Jasper Morris
An attractive lemon yellow, actually one of the less pronounced colours. The bouquet has a fresh vigour to it that portends a stunning wine. I am smiling even before I out the wine in the mouth. This is not a question of building a super cuvée through technique, but just a brilliance in the potential from the terroir. 25% new oak as Perrières, 20 for regular Genevrières. Goodness me this is stunning and absolutely magical. The fruit could not be fresher, the mineral acidity livelier, nor the flavours more persistent. It has the magical detail too which Genevrières can provide and Charmes cannot. Still counting the seconds of the aftertaste. Chapeau! Drink from 2030-2038.

Note: from 50+ year old vines that see a bit more new wood though this means 33% rather than 25%. Here too the expressive nose is beautifully layered with its aromas of exotic tea, smoked green apple, acacia and plenty of citrus elements. The super-sleek, intense and equally gorgeously textured, and more mineral-driven, flavors display impressive length on the unusually powerful finish that exhibits outstanding depth and persistence. This bone-dry, youthfully austere and compact effort is also exceptionally classy and should be great wine in time. Brilliant.
