Neil Beckett | Pierre Vincent—a winemaker with a magical touch, who has surely produced some of the most exciting whites of the vintage—explained that this special wine, from an historic small plot of Chardonnay near the main Clos, had an unusually long fermentation—which has not harmed it a bit. As sampled from barrel in November: clean, fresh, mineral scent. Elegance and finesse, harmony, intensity, and scale, its purity saving it from weight. Real scintillation and excellent length. | 93
