  Wine Spectator
  "A powerful, gorgeously styled version, with star fruit, melon and pear undercut with a grassy, herbal thread. Notes of ginger, honey and spices emerge, with layers of flavor adding to the complexity. Succulent acidity pumps through, keeping this vibrant and contemplative. The finish is long, showing impressive focus; this is a contemplative wine. Drink now through 2035. 500 cases made, 80 cases imported."

  "Crisp, very clean and precise citrus flavours. Quite austere, but more vibrant than the 2020, with a long finish, this exhibits a return to the classic, dry wines of the Loire before the effects of climate change became apparent. Very serious early frosts between 6-8 April caused the domaine to lose 70% of its crop. Overall, the year was cooler than other recent vintages with selective picking on 17, 24 and 25 September, and a yield of only 7hl/ha. Vinified and aged in a mix of wooden casks, demi-muids and barriques averaging five years old for 21 months, followed by a further 12 months in stainless steel. Bottled early June 2023 "
