BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: Mineral and faintly wild-rose-herbal nose; gently generous, fresh, finely tannic, complete at mezzo-forte level; sweet, subtle, gently fleshy, long, easy, graceful, and persistent; a lovely, elegant, refined Branaire. 2025–40+. 91–93

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Dense wine, very classical in style, still a bit discreet. It might warrant an even higher ranking after élevage because it seems more accomplished at its birth than the 2009 or the 2010. 95–96
