BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Beautiful, deep, balanced wine, rich in harmonic tones, achieved with no selection, because yet again this property will not be producing a second wine. During the barrel maturation, its original delicate qualities will need to be carefully preserved. Tasted at the château. | 95

Michael Schuster | Lovely, richly fragrant nose, persistent and complex; rich, lively middleweight, very fine in tannin; a beautiful balance, long and sweet, freshly defined; gently complex, refined, and elegant; mineral in aromas, not that concentrated in fruit as such, not as richly fleshy as it can be. But as with many in the vintage, so pure, fragrant, transparent. A classy and subtly juicy wine. 2025–40+. | 91–92+
