I have been following this estate for years and am very impressed by the particular finesse and purity David Croix manages to bring to his wines. After all, he is also the man who managed to bring the wines of Camille Giroud back to top level, and at Roulot, too, his input was invaluable. From now on, all his attention will be exclusively on his own estate. Is he the man to give the superb yet somewhat misunderstood terroirs of Beaune back the renommée they deserve? By the looks of it, he is doing plenty of that! Beaune was hardly touched by the spring frost and here, the 2021s are absolutely stunning!
Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy): “One third whole bunch vinification. Bright ripe cherries, darker raspberry. A complete and compelling bouquet. There is such energy behind too, on the palate but above all the fruit fills the mouth in a gorgeously gracious style, with just the right refined tannic structure to finish.” ****
