Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | A success. Complex and harmonious, quite in line with the grand vin in a slightly less monumental style. | 94

Michael Schuster | Particularly cassisy to smell along with subtle gravel impressions; a rich middleweight, with very discreet tannins, and freshly defining acidity; power and delicacy, very sweet, yet fresh to taste, succulent, sapid, long and blackcurrant-juicy, yet pure, too, with a very nice complexity, and fine fruit-cored length. Classy, elegant, restrained Pagodes. 2026–36+. | 90–91
