"The colour here is vibrant ruby and violet, this has so much precision and energy, sapidy, cherry pit, violets, again the textural side of the vintage is at the fore, coffee beans, espresso and black chocolate, notes that I have not written in many wines this year, No chaptilisation, 3.62ph, 70% new oak, harvest september 20 to 28. Love this, has a sense of vibration that might make this the 2nd wine of the vintage. If this comes out at a good price, run don't walk, as they say." (04/2025)

"Duftig, floral, Flieder, ein Hauch von Kirschen, Holunder; am Gaumen zugänglich, weich, feingliedrig, delikate Frucht, präzises Tannin, ausgewogen, verspielt, mit eindrücklicher Länge und grosser Eleganz. Ein Hit." (04/2025)
Yves Beck: 94-95 Punkte
"Das Bouquet von La Petite Eglise zeichnet sich durch seine Finesse und Tiefe aus. Die Nuancen von Süßholz und reifen Früchten sind offensichtlich und werden von Düften von Gewürzen, Teeblättern und Holunder begleitet. Am Gaumen überzeugt der Wein durch seine Geradlinigkeit, seinen filigranen Charme, seine Kraft und seine Frische. Er überzeugt auf so vielen Ebenen, dass er ohne weiteres die Definition eines großen Weins tragen kann. Was für ein schöner Erfolg!" (04/2025)

"Seductive, succulent and so redolently of the plateau. This is rich for the vintage with a lovely sense of compactness and density that is so often missing in 2024. That gracious delicate and subtle violet and rose petal florality that one is no used to finding here. Incense, just a touch. And cedar with aeration. A little red berry fruit too – raspberry, especially, and it’s as it each separate berry is captured in pixilated detail. Cool and focussed at the core – like gliding into a moonlit glassy lake but only slightly disturbing the surface. Glassy, glossy, but natural in its purity and precision and crystallinity – the signature of Noemie Durantou’s wines this year – but with a density that is very rare in the vintage. The freshness is very well integrated and distributed over the palate and that gives this a vivacity and energy that is energising and that brings a very tactile sense of engagement with the wine." - Colin Hay (04/2025)

"Gorgeous creamy vanilla blackcurrant on the nose, perfumed and aromatic. Floral, richly scented. Clean and crisp but with body too, the acidity and clean freshness lifts the palate but this has power no doubt and a dark core of blueberry, liquorice, slate and blackcurrant. Feels really ripe and you get some of the Pomerol glamour in the texture here which is great. Still ends clean and ultra refined though. A great wine in the making. Not dense but definitely structured. Complexity. 3.72pH. A yield of 42hl/ha. Ageing 70% new oak." - Georgina Hindle (04/2025)
