A cooler site which does well in these warm vintages. More lemon than lime in colour, with an attractive reductive note sitting atop the vibrant fresh fruit. This fills out very nicely on the palate, a mix of ripe fruits without exaggeration and a cool crisp finish. The fruit comes back very well afterwards. Tasted: November 2021.—Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Tasting note: A vaguely Chablis-like nose reflects notes of iodine, cool white orchard fruit and light mineral reduction. The highly energetic middle weight flavors possess cuts-like-a-knife delineation before concluding in an equally saline, linear and crisp finale. This should benefit from a few years of bottle age to more completely unwind.—Allen Meadows, Burghound
