Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: The fruit is focused and fresh, with great tension on the palate, thanks to a bright acidity and firm but slightly drying tannins. the wine is dense, firm, and linear, with good aging potential. 16

Michael Schuster: dumb nose, freshly ripe to smell; a very nice balance, medium-full, elegant, and in the lively and finely tannic 2011 style; a crisply sweet ripe core fruit of moderate depth but a nice, almost juicy purity, and with excellent length within a slightly dry tannin. Should make a very nice bottle. 2018–24. 16
