Stephen Brook | The dusty citric nose is in marked contrast to the usual heavily botrytized aromas of Tour Blanche, which were presumably reserved for the grand vin. Lean and simple, this is silky and pretty, but decidedly one-dimensional, and very much in the apéritif style. There’s little weight or persistence here, and the finish is humdrum. | 84

Andrew Jefford | Pale gold. Very clean, pristine, and attractive, with billowing sweet floral fruits, and a buttered note, too: a lovely second wine to smell. Clean, lively, fresh, and light on its feet, with excellent acid balance; lots of mountain honey afterward. 2018–23. | 88
