BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Beautiful fruit, vibrant, harmonious, a bit less imposing than some of its neighbors, but without comparison as far as the balance and natural expression are concerned. | 96

Michael Schuster | A very fine nose of ripe red and black fruit but very fresh to smell; full-bodied, very vital in acidity, finely but firmly dry in tannin; sweet and fresh in flavor, not the usual fleshiness at this stage, but a delicious defining freshness; long and linear and fine, with great inner energy, subtly mineral underneath, and beautiful mouthcoatingly fruit-fragrant length. Most complete in a very individual style for the year—no obvious hot-vintage character. The biodynamic benefit? 2028–45+. | 92–93+
