Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Lovely aromas of cedar here, more dominated by the Cabernets than usual (and one must be happy about it), quite full and racy—the terroir clearly shows. | 16

Michael Schuster | Supple, fresh, medium-full wine, with a gentle, very fine-grained tannin; an attractively appetizing Carruades, freshly ripe, gently juicy, with a nice length of flavor both to taste and to finish. A delicious, early drinking Carruades, where you notice the flowing, fleshy character of nearly one-third Merlot. 2016–24. | 16
