Neil Beckett | A cuvée from the 0.5 acre (0.2ha) of Trapet- owned vines here, yielding a precious three pièces. Medium-deep ruby. Autosuggested to some extent it may be, but there really does seem to be a chalky stoniness to the captivating scent of this wine: austere, pure, but not at all forbidding, partly thanks to inviting, softening spice. Dynamic, energetic, but not at all shrill, accessible and effortless, with another fabulously silken texture thanks to perfect ripeness and well-wrought tannins. | 94
