BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Very pure nose, with magnificent aromas of rose, citrus fruit, yellow fruit, minerality, and smokiness; very rich in the mouth, broad, with flesh and opulence, but also with a very good acidity and a slight salty-bitter touch that balances out the wine. Excellent compromise between richness and freshness. | 95–96

Michael Schuster | Rich, full, supple, but adequately fresh; generous, gently mineral, nice length of flavor, ample, satisfying, and with good length of aftertaste. Nicely defined within its broad style; good, if just lacking a bit of energy and complexity. To drink relatively early. Now to 2026. | 92–93?
