RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

...displays greater concentration – above all of fusil, chalky, saline, savory, and smoky “mineral” aspects... Ripe white peach and deep suggestions of malt and lobster bisque – allied to creaminess of texture – add to the seductive, layered presentation of this wine...

91Stephen Tanzer

Delicately perfumed nose offers apple, lemon, crushed stone and spearmint, with nuances of lavender and sea salt. The palate offers lovely cut and intensity, but this spicy grand cru still has an essential supple quality. Finishes with a lingering saline character.

17Jancis Robinson

Very delicate white flower note. Almond in the mouth, very mineral. Mouthwatering freshness.
