Michel Bettane: Some green inside of the golden and pure color, refined Barsac-like nose, very elegant citrus undertone, wonderful purity, great breed. 18

Thierry Desseauve: Brilliant gold color, splendid Barsac aromas, with strong citrus aromas, smooth body, energy; citrus again on the finish, great persistence, breeding. 19

Michael Schuster: Yellow gold; nice, waxy Semillon nose; very sweet, supple yet fresh, a pure and linear style—very Barsac—with a gentle lemon and mineral complexity, a pure waxy texture, and good length. Here, too, a slightly lighter style, but none the worse for that. Very attractive —no excess. Now to 2022+. 15+
