Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Intense color; perfectly defined on the nose, between black fruit, cedar wood, and even a touch of black truffle; juicy and well-built—an exemplary St-Julien. | 95

Michael Schuster | Lightly, gravelly nose; medium-full, fresh, moderately, finely tannic; freshly red-fruit ripe in flavor, gently pebbly and refreshing, long, elegant, even, harmonious, with lovely lightly earthy length of finish. Benchmark, effortless red Bordeaux, and drinkable relatively soon. 2026–40. | 90–92+
