Score 92-94/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2010
Good bright yellow. Pure, perfumed aromas of lime, pineapple, spearmint and crushed rock. Juicy, steely and dense, with penetrating citrus and mineral flavors complicated by a saline quality that contributes to the wine's savory, tactile mouth feel. Very dense, clean, precise and persistent wine that avoids austerity thanks to its touch of sweetness. Potel picked vines on the Pernand side on September 26, and also bought must from a parcel in Aloxe.
