Jean-Claude Lapalu - Tentation 2020
94/100
James Suckling
Grapes, grapes, and more grapes, with no additives (yeast, chaptalization, or sulfur), avoiding intervention in order to convey all the purity and character of the terroir in this wine. Tentation gives the impression of an easy wine, yet it has a beautiful complexity with great finesse and a powdery touch. A subtle and distinguished wine for connoisseurs.
