RATINGS

96The Wine Advocate

...turned out brilliantly... ...Mingling scents of orange oil and clear honey with hints of toasted almonds, Anjou pears, pastry cream, nutmeg and white flowers, it's full-bodied, deep and layered, with striking texture and dimension, racy acids and terrific concentration... ...Long and penetrating, this is a fabulous Bienvenues...

92-94Burghound.com

...poached pear, citrus, honeysuckle and a discreet dollop of wood toast. The more refined if less powerful medium weight flavors possess a more sophisticated texture as well as better overall energy and balance on the impressively lingering finale. Lovely.

91Vinous / IWC

...quite a honeyed, what feels like slightly botrytised bouquet with touches of pineapple and caramelized pear, pressed yellow flowers and a dab of ginger...palate is well balanced with some vanillary oak, seductive in some way, obvious in another. It rather masks the terroir expression towards the finish.
