BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: noble notes of cedar; a focused texture and elegant tannins: the archetype of a great St-Julien. 17

Michael Schuster: Marked minerality to smell; freshly elegant, moderately concentrated, with a fresh to lively acidity and firm tannin; lean, slightly austere style of flavor, nice length in its taut, dry style, but not a great deal of depth or flesh; that said, an attractive vitality and good fruit length. 2018–30. 15.5
