Wine by Bok - 9/10
The bouquet presents a captivating mix of burnt and charred wood, layered with ripe fruit aromas. Peach and ripe lemon dominate, with acidity subtly lurking in the background, enhancing the complexity. On the palate, juicy peach and ripe lemon flavors take center stage, supported by a balanced acidity that adds structure. Overall, a decent, good crafted and enjoyable wine, offering a harmonious drinking experience.

Aromas of green pear, confit orange, almond paste and white peach preface the 2022 Saint-Véran 1er Jus, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy wine with a textural attack that segues into a taut, electric palate, concluding with a long, saline finish. This is another strong performance this year, lent additional concentration by a touch of passerillage in the warm, dry weather before harvest. (10/2023)
Thomas Parker MW - 94 points
Pale lemon colour in the glass, the nose here is immediate with top notes of white flowers and rose, matched by succulent orchard fruit. The palate has a prominent lime curd note, the fruit and acidity both powerful and blending seamlessly at such a young stage. There is depth here, however, unfurling with air there are notes of baking spices - nutmeg and clove - together with white peach and confit citrus. The is a long, precise and measured wine; it may well warrant a higher score from bottle. (3/2023)
