BUY THE WINE

Michael Edwards: In the same mode as [Moussé Fils L’Or d’Eugène Solera Blanc de Noirs Brut] but with extra dimensions of complexity. | 92

Simon Field: Expressive and indulgent style, coconut evidenced, an orange-grove character, softly spicy, finely etched, measured acidity, an almost lactic warmth, then impressive length. Food-friendly and assertive to the last. | 90

Anne Krebiechl: Golden color. A lifted nose of herbal tisane merges with buttery creaminess. The palate retains some of that creamy richness and couches the wine’s vivid freshness in its soft, subtle, more forgiving undertow. Lemony freshness gives backbone and linearity—perhaps more time is needed for this to show at its best. For now, this is brisk, fresh, and vivid. | 93
