Michael Schuster: Pale lemon; fine, light, honey-and-mineral nose; a nicely balanced, concentrated middleweight, with a lively defining acidity; intensely sweet, lemony, slender yet rich, too; classy, refined, and with excellent length. A fine, long-term prospect, and this is a wine that normally ages very gracefully. 2016–30. 16/16.5+

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Remarkably subtle; the wine has perfectly preserved the fresh flavors of the grapes; very long, pure, and refined without being overly sweet. Currently, we are more impressed by the technical aspects of the wine than by its expression of the terroir, but its purity will guarantee that the terroir will eventually shine through in a few years’ time. 17
