Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Blind and on the day, this was our favorite, by virtue of its marvelous aromatic potential resulting from an exemplary vinification. This aromatic explosion also possesses great integrity in the expression of its terroir, beyond doubt the raciest of its area, and its admirable crystalline purity. The wine is even a little more evolved than Domaine de Chevalier (in a similar style) or Smith-Haut-Lafitte, at the highest level of ripeness. 18/18.5
