BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane: Good color; elegant fruity nose, with the right use of oak, supple but refined texture, and deft tannins; slightly less well delineated than Tourelles but certainly delicate, and true to what we can expect. Some red pepper in the finish 16.5

Thierry Desseauve: Straight, one-dimensional wine, with absolutely no outstanding features 14

Michael Schuster: Sweet, mellow, youthful nose; elegantly balanced, fine textured, but still youthfully austere; real complexity and scope for a second wine: fine flavor, excellent length. Needs time but should be very rewarding. 2018–30 16
