Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Great color, superb constitution, the style is more strict than in the preceding decade, which should please many. Classic Pauillac, complete in this vintage. A touch of sensuality gives away the origin. | 17

Michael Schuster | Freshly ripe fruit, subtle gravel impression, hint of new-wood cedar; elegantly balanced in a firmly tannic style with a nice concentration and fresh in acidity; lively red-fruit flavor, with a clear Médoc minerality, a refreshing length of flavor, without being particularly complex, and sweet to finish alongside the lively acidity. 2018–26. | 16.5
