RATINGS

93The Wine Advocate

...delicate brushes of tangerine and citrus peel... The palate is fresh and crisp with a slight bitterness towards the tensile finish...there is impressive intensity and puissance here, the finish long and sustained in the mouth. This is a superb wine from Fichet.

93Stephen Tanzer

Captivating nose combines stone fruits, white truffle, minerals and spicy vanillin oak. Broad, sweet and seamless, with a lush texture perfectly supported by harmonious ripe acidity. Superconcentrated wine with a dusty impression of dry extract...unflagging finish. Delivers a compelling combination of breadth and energy.

90-92Burghound.com

...good vibrancy to the caressing yet detailed and lightly mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that possess plenty of dry extract that does a fine job of buffering the delicious, balanced and solidly complex finish that really fans out as it lingers on the palate.

17Jancis Robinson

Playful, expressive reductive smokiness on the nose. Smart apple fruit, crisp finish and a long, succulent finish. Powdery texture.
