BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Pale, brilliant and promising colour with an even more promising delicately floral-citrus nose. Tender, long and pure on the palate. A handsome wine that bears eloquent testimony to this cru’s stylistic development in recent years. 16

Margaret Rand: Oaky, rich, creamy and dense; fruit tends towards the tropical, and there’s lots of freshness and depth. 16.5

Michael Schuster: Lightly aromatic Sauvignon Blanc to smell. Fresh, yet broad and supple in style for the vintage, nice persistence of ripe fruit. Good, but seems to lack quite the aromatic projection and vitality that it once had. 15+?
