Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Amazing density and firmness, but far from austere; it seems as though this might be the best wine the appellation has seen in five years. 18

Michael Schuster: Closed, but clearly fat at its core; quite dense, gently gravelly; beautifully balanced wine, a rich middleweight with super-fine tannin and lovely, defining freshness; long in the mouth, gently gravelly behind the crisply but very ripe fruit; a very fine Potensac. 2015–25. 15.5/16+
