92 Points, #80 Top 100 of 2024 - Wine Spectator:
“A distinctive Sancerre, with fleshy persimmon, yellow plum and verbena notes. Offers plenty of richness buoyed by a salty mineral layer, while dried herb details and tangy acidity wash through. A waft of smoke hangs over the long finish, marked by a bitter kick of pink grapefruit pith. Drink now through 2032. 4,000 cases made, 700 cases imported. ” - KB

92 Points - Vinous:
Formerly known as La Bourgeoise, the ES-56 may be ripe but remains focused and light-bodied. Thanks to the flint-rich soils in this part of Sancerre, the wine offers excellent tension and a spicy drive on the finish. While the fruit is ripe, it's savory and restrained, having been partially fermented in oak (25%) before resting in the cellar for close to two years before release. It's persistent and lithe on the finish.

93 Points - James Suckling:
A solid, precise and lively Sancerre with so much mineral character. Aromas of leaves, flint, gunpowder, mild spices and dried lemons dominate on the nose. It’s medium-bodied yet so intense, full of verve and drive. There is a bright acidity driving the vertical dimension in the long, focused, stony finish.

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
This Sancerre wants your attention. Rich orchard fruit wraps itself with quince, apple and bakingspice-dusted roasted pear. Steely in texture with elegant, subtle flavors, the wine has a bright acidity that refreshes the finish.
