Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | A complete, elegant, refined, fresh wine, very classical and offering better value than the grand vin. Tasted at the château. | 94

Michael Schuster | Gentle, fragrant, ripe red-fruit nose; a rich mid-weight Alter Ego, fresh in acidity and with a very delicate tannin; sweet, soft, vibrant, finely juicy, long and succulent and delicious. An almost Burgundian transparency, yet no lack of matter, especially for a second wine. A great success. 2025–35+. | 90–92+
