Score 87/100 · Drink 2017-2020, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2017

Very ripe scents of yellow fruits and banana. Fat, thick and sweet, but with only moderate depth to its soft citrus and oatmeal flavors. Finishes with some alcoholic warmth that will not get in the way of enjoying this wine early.

Cask sample. 4.5 ha in several different lieux-dits: Derrière La Velle, Les Reuchaux, Corvée des Vignes, La Rousselle, Noyer Bret, Les Aubues, Les Tremblots. Sweeter on the nose than many – generous and flattering! Then good structure and freshness on the palate. Quite substantial. 35,000 bottles and well done. Should be relatively GV . (JR)

(Carillon has 120 barrels of this juice): Pale yellow. Cool white peach and lemon zest aromas are complicated by a smoky nuance and a hint of minerality. Ripe, pliant and harmonious, conveying an impression of power to its yellow peach and spice flavors.
