Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | All finesse and balance, but there is still some aromatic austerity at the moment. Softer tannins than the flagship wine. Tasted at the château. | 92

Michael Schuster | Discreet, minerally, ripe red-fruit nose; fresh, finely balanced, gently tannic mid-weight; sweet, graceful, supple wine, long, minerally, even, harmonious, fragrant, and with a beautiful fruit core persistence. An easy, gentle beauty. Lovely. 2026–36+. | 91–92+
