Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Complex aromas of violets, licorice, and cedar, with a full texture difficult to surpass this vintage and huge length. Once again this tiny estate has given one of the five greatest wines of the year! 18.5/19
Michael Schuster: Dark red; persistent, spicy, raspberry-scented nose; moderately rich, elegant, middleweight wine, particularly refined in texture; long, freshly fruited, delicate and scented; subtly minerally and with lovely perfumed length. All laciness, finesse, Cabernet Franc fragrance. 2015–25. 16.5-17
