    Burghound Issue 53 on the 2012 Vintage: This is aromatically similar to the Vosne villages though with a bit more depth and spice character. The restrained, detailed and vibrant medium weight flavors dance across the palate as the mouth feel of the balanced and lingering finish is lacy, indeed even delicate. (89-91)/2019+
