Ratings: Robert Parker: 89–90/100, Bettane & Desseauve 16/20, Guide Hachette 1* (Very successful wine), Gerbelle & Maurange15/20
“The nose reveals aromas of dried fruit, candied fruit, and honey, complemented by toasty notes. The palate, full-bodied and slightly oaky, leaves a pleasant sensation of richness and generosity supported by a lovely mineral freshness. A wine that is already very enjoyable, best enjoyed with pike in white butter sauce.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2012)
