BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Violets and ripe peppers on the nose tell you that you that this wine will still be smelling sweet in 20 years (people should remember that before condemning such wines out of hand). The wine shows better body and texture than most of the crus in this appellation and finishes with an aplomb that makes this the best performance by this estate in a decade. 17
