"‘This is my Chambolle from Ladoix’ was how Mallard introduced the 2021 vintage of Les Joyeuses. In truth, there was a lovely raspberry fruit with an expressive floral side. The texture on the palate was rich and supple. Although there was little astringency, the wine was not lacking in tannin. The parcel is found at the same level as Le Corton and exposed due east. The grapes were partially destemmed after careful sorting and are currently ageing in cask (40% new)." 92 Points, Decanter
