Alex Hunt: The natural ripeness and exuberance of the vintage is expressed here with a raspberrypastille fruit character, neatly reined in by just enough tannin. 87

Andrew Jefford: Deep purple-red. Sweet, warm, soft, full of milky grace: discreet charm here. Fragrant, graceful, beautifully defined wine that cascades with bitter-sweet charm. Fine supporting tannins but no sense of heaviness or weightiness. Just a tiny bit green, but that adds to the freshness. Exactly what you hope for from a good Côte de Brouilly. 91

Peter Liem: Dark in flavor and concentrated in tone, this thrives on its ripeness, without a lot of complexity or detail on the palate. Its tannins are pleasantly austere on the finish, focusing the fruit. 85
