Score 88-91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jan 2018
(25% vendange entier ; aging in 30% new oak; made from what Thomas Dinel described as a full crop, this wine had already been racked once by the time of my visit): Medium red. Slightly reduced aromas of strawberry, white pepper, herbs and toast. A rather, delicate, light style with sexy spices and a touch of sweetness but only modest force. Finishes with easygoing tannins and a touch of dryness. Attractive, aromatic wine if a bit lacking in stuffing.

One of the five wines they have made from the beginning. Dark, very bright crimson. A little reduced. But lovely fruit on the palate. Rich with that gypsy-cream/orange-peel Morey nose. Brilliant fruit. Again falls away a bit. (JR)
