BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Admirable raspberry aromas on the nose, unctuous texture, fine tannins; a great success, with all the aromatic charm of wines from this terroir. | 18.5

Michael Schuster | Dark purple; dense, ripe, quite “fat” to smell; elegantly balanced, fullish wine, with a firmly dry but not aggressive tannin, plus a noticeably lively acidity, the combination making for a fairly chewy texture and a structured medium- to long-term wine. Very ripe fruit at its heart, with good length to taste and fine fruit and fragrance on the lingering finish. 2022–30. | 16.5
