Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Straightforward, stylish, subtly spicy; a little more strict and severe than some neighbors at this stage. It will need at least another year in barrel to blossom. Tasted at the château. | 94

Michael Schuster | Discreet, markedly mineral nose, with ripe red and black fruit; middleweight wine, fresh, finely and firmly tannic, a lovely medium-term balance; freshly sweet, juicy, gently gravelly in aromas, complex, even, very long to taste, with a delicious but discreet freshness supporting the palate throughout, and with very fine aromatic persistence. Understated, gracious, a subtle, fragrant, graceful beauty. 2028–48+. | 94–95
