Simon Field | Medium color, straw and a pale rim; aromatics a little subdued, with hints of yellow fruit evidenced behind the citric swell. Authenticity bolstered by matière, just balancing acidity, and a potent, generous finish. Quite simple, but hints of spice and even white pepper demonstrate provenance and reveal an unassuming Pagnol- esque personality. | 86

Andrew Jefford | Pale steel-gold. The typical soft seedy fullness of the category, but beyond that this is an aroma without much detail or nuance, and indeed it seems just a little sulfur-hard and abbreviated. The palate, too, is rather hard and clumsy, and the overall effect a little charmless. | 82

John Livingstone-Learmonth | Yellow color. Dried fruits, a little note of flan, airs of white tobacco, aniseed, and peach. The nose has variety. The palate comes with immediate delivery of grainy, white stone-fruit content, tapers and drifts toward the finish. Chamomile and stewed fruits feature in the flavor. Rather mainstream, but it has enough body for Provençal dishes. A bonhomme of a wine. To 2022/23. | 87
