93 / 100 Wine Spectator
Firm and linear, exhibiting lime, stone, hazelnut and herb aromas and flavors. This is cool in character, with precision balance and a long aftertaste of mineral and toast. Still young, with fine potential. Needs more time to show all its facets. Best from 2010 through 2020.

Very broad and engaging on the nose with its slightly toasty topnote. Round and glorious with a thoroughly satisfying texture – quite a mouthful. So clean yet rich! This has real depth and savour. At the end of the palate it shut down a little but all in all this was a very good showing indeed. This would be dangerously easy to enjoy young. Great richness but great balance – no shortage of acidity.

93 / 100 Allen Meadow
A very discreet touch of brioche highlights the much more reserved honeysuckle, anise, honeysuckle and apricot aromas that are elegant, pure and wonderfully refined and dissolve into sweet, intense and unusually precise flavors that also reflect more minerality than I typically find in this wine as well, culminating in superb punch and energy. A terrific vintage for Pucelles and one to consider closely.
