RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

Vivid and multi-dimensional in the glass, the Pucelles wraps around the palate with serious intensity. Citrus, white flowers and green pears linger on the highly nuanced, refined finish.

94-95Stephen Tanzer

Subtle notes of white pepper and wild herbs emerge with air to complicate the white peach and mineral flavors. Very juicy wine with superb depth and inner-mouth tension.

94Burghound.com

...silky and equally pure mineral-inflected middle weight flavors. There is a wonderfully clean and citrusy character to the driving, energetic and linear finish that despite the elevated sense of verve comes across as almost delicate.

17.5Jancis Robinson

More mineral than the Folatières, more restrained on the nose. Lovely tension just balanced by a gentle creaminess on the palate. Great harmony and length.
