97 / 100"Superb nose of ripe citrus fruit, very pure. Attractive ample palate, silky texture and very nice freshness. Lovely persistence. A success."

"An absolutely textbook great white Graves made from 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Semillon and aged nine months on its lees, this is a prodigious effort displaying notes of white flowers, currants, honeyed citrus, fig, and crushed rocks. The wine is very pure, with full body and high acidity, in a backward, almost tannic style. Give this wine at least 8-10 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 30 years."

Tasting Notes
