James Suckling (2023) 94 - 95 / 100

Lots of graphite and purple fruit with salty and lavender undertones. Medium- to full-bodied, fine and beautiful. Excellent length.

Vinous (N. Martin) (2023) 93 - 95 / 100

The 2022 Poesia, which suffered minor frost damage in early April, has a more marine-tinged bouquet thanks to its clay/limestone soils. Blackberry and blueberry fruit, fine delineation, taciturn at first, but it opens well in the glass after aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh, peppery entry. The limestone comes through nicely here. But it's quite backward on the finish and therefore it will require 4-5 years in bottle.

Vinous (A. Galloni) (2023) 93 - 95 / 100

The 2022 Poesia is a heady, opulent wine. Inky dark fruit, herbs, lavender and chocolate abound. In this vintage the Franc is up to 30% and that comes through in the wine’s distinctly savory profile. This exotic, flamboyant Saint-Émilion possesses tremendous aromatic presence to play off its opulent fruit. The oak needs to integrate, but then again, this is an en primeur sample.

JM Quarin (2023) 94 / 100

Couleur rouge sombre et profonde. Nez intense, fruité et crémeux. Nuance d'écorce d'orange. Touche cacaotée et truffée à l'agitation du verre. Très minutieux en entrée de bouche, très aromatique au milieu, avec des nuances complexes jamais vues ici et de la classe dans le toucher, le vin évolue puissant en finale et sans cesse charnu. Grande longueur.

Jeff Leve (2023) 94 / 100

Black raspberries, flowers, orange peel, licorice, mint, smoke, and cocoa fill the perfume. On the palate, the wine is packed with minerality, cocoa, plums, and black raspberries. with a lot of cut, refinement and salty tannins in the lifted, berry-filled finish. Drink from 2026-2047.

Le plateau calcaire de Saint-Etienne de Lisse est propice à donner naissance à des vins cristallins, vifs et riches. Le bouquet révèle des nuances de zeste d’orange, de cassis et d’épices douces. Beaucoup de finesse en bouche avec des tannins aux grains fins et une structure qui confère du tempérament. Le vin est sapide, expressif, fruité et persistant. Une très belle réussite qui a un bel avenir devant elle… si on parvient à lui résister ! 2028-2042

Bettane & Desseauve (2023) 92 - 93 / 100

Nez profond, matière fougueuse à la finale saline. Il faut se projeter à table sur les viandes rouges.

Parker (2023) 91 - 93 / 100

Offering up aromas of sweet berries, cherries and plums, framed by sweet new oak, the 2022 Poesia is medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a lively core of fruit, chalky tannins and a saline finish. Given this late-ripening limestone site's naturally low pH, I tend to think that even less would be more with regards extraction, but this is nevertheless a strong effort
