Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Confirms its move to more elegance and immediate softness, with all the nobility of its terroir of origin. Tasted at the château. | 94

Michael Schuster | Dense and beautiful to smell; rich, generous, fresh, and very finely tannic, fairly grand proportions for the year; sweetly ripe, ample, fleshy wine, with a lovely density, but beautifully contained by its freshness of acidity and particularly refined tannin texture; long and generous and mouth-coating, but this great presence seems entirely effortless and elegant, and with terrific persistence of aftertaste. Classy, aristocratic, wonderful wine. 2012–45+. | 94–96
