Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jul 2004

(from vines averaging 45 years of age) Aromas of smoke, spice, white pepper and crushed stone. Less plump than the Montee de Tonnerre but quite dense and more tightly structured. Offers strong, concentrated stone fruit flavors accented by white pepper. Finishes with excellent subtle persistence.

Score 89-91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Musky aromas of grapefruit, white pepper, smoke and chicken broth. Big, spicy and rich, with the white pepper quality carrying through in the mouth. Offers plenty of size, texture and length, but, as with the Vaillon, this will need time to fill in. Michel generally starts harvesting with this parcel, as he's afraid the fruit will quickly lose acidity.
