WINE ADVOCATE 93 POINTS - "Vincent produced only two barrels of the 2022 Santenay 1er Cru Le Passetemps, a lovely wine that unfurls in the glass with aromas of cherries, licorice, baking chocolate and spices. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a sweet core of fruit framed by ripe, powdery tannins, it will offer a broad drinking window."
VINOUS 92 - 94 POINTS - "The 2022 Santenay Le Passetemps 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet similar to the Le Beaurepaire, a little chalkier perhaps, mainly blackberry and bilberry fruit, tightly knit. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit and slightly more cracked black pepper. Good density, firmer backbone with impressive density towards the finish. Give this 4-5 years in bottle if you can. Two barrels made (due to expand in the future...hoorah!."
