Jean-Claude Lapalu - Tentation 2020
94/100
James Suckling
Grapes, more grapes, and always grapes—with no additives (yeast, chaptalization, or sulfur)—and minimal intervention to capture the full purity and character of the terroir in this wine. “Tentation” gives the impression of an easy-drinking wine, yet it possesses beautiful complexity, great finesse, and a powdery touch. A subtle and refined wine for connoisseurs.
