Inside Burgundy Jasper Morris: 94 Points

There is just a pale green tinge to the light lemon colour. The nose is pure clean white fruit, not entirely open at first. Rectilinear, powerful, balanced and with grand cru persistence. The oak level is just right for the long, solid white fruit.

Roger Belland related that 2019 is a "surprisingly fine vintage given the relatively high summer heat. Despite this, our vines didn't really suffer much in the way of hydric stress. We picked from the 16th of September and brought in clean and ripe fruit that gave us potential alcohols that ranged from 13.5 to 14%. Yields were definitely lower than in 2018 as they were around 42 hl/ha in white and approximately 38 hl/ha in red versus an average of around 55 hl/ha in white and about 42 hl/ha in red in 2018. I like the style of the wines a lot because even though they're clearly ripe, they remain quite fresh and with fine terroir transparency." Belland noted that the 2019 whites were bottled in August 2020.
 Hints of oak and exotic fruit can be found on the white and yellow orchard fruit aromas that include those of peach and apricot along with a suggestion of viognier. There is excellent richness and volume to the relatively full-bodied flavors that terminate in a compact, powerful and serious finish that is a bit finer than it usually is. This too should reward mid-term keeping.
