Critics Ratings
'Lovely, with rippling honeysuckle and acacia notes out front, followed by creamed yellow apple, nectarine, peach and mirabelle plum flavors. Long and rich, with an almond hint on the finish, but with bright tones throughout for drive and lift as well.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 94/100 (Mar 2018)
'Hints of cedar and white pepper along with fresh citrus and tropical fruit nuances. Vibrant acidity, long and very tactile. The 25% Sauvignon Blanc is than usual, but 98% of the berries were hit by noble rot. Despite this, it is incredibly fresh and light. 2020-2035' - Decanter, 93/100
'This is a rich wine that has a generous full-bodied character. At the same time, the acidity is there, offering some beautiful spice and ginger. This is going to develop so well.' - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 93/100
'Deceptively medium in body, the 2015 Raymond-Lafon offers striking depth and plenty of nuance. The richness of the candied orange peel, apricot jam and pineapple notes is balanced by expressive floral notes that bring freshness and further shades of nuance. This is very nicely done. 2020-2035' - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 92/100 (Dec 2017)
