Score 17/20 · Drink 2022-2030, Tim Jackson MW, jancisrobinson.com, Jan 2020
Less than 1% of the Grèves vineyard is white. Only wine made from the middle of the slope, next to Enfant Jésus. One three-year-old and other five-year-old barrels. Bottled. An intriguing nose of nuttiness, stones and celery seed, with a rich creamy undertow – really distinctive. Focused and tense, with a wall of stoniness backed-up by fine acidity. Long and minerally.
