Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | One of the four samples tasted was supremely fine and bright; three others were very fine, very subtle, pure and saline, but with a little less length. The friendly rivalry with Védrines is going to be close and fascinating to follow this year. | 95

Michael Schuster | A fine nose, subtle and complex; nicely balanced, moderately concentrated, with an attractive defining freshness; a sweet, lighter style, a gentle complexity, but on the mid-palate, after a promising up-front attack, quite a light aftertaste, where it just seems to tail off slightly, so a final judgment reserved... | 89–90?
