Critics Ratings
‘‘Very different from the Landonne. Much broader with smudgy violets appeal. A little hint of La Tâche on this funnily enough! Racy and delicate, but by no means underripe or skinny. Rostaing seems to have done a great job on this vintage. Really fresh finish, like Landonne. Feminine, but with some pretty fierce tannins underneath. Actually fuller than the Landonne and definitely more tannic.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20 (Dec 2008)
Focused, with good peppery drive pushing the tobacco, mulled currant and sandalwood notes. A tangy grilled herb edge helps extend the medium-weight finish, which has nice underlying grip. Best from 2011 through 2018.’ - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 90/100
