Score 17/20 · Drink 2020-2028, James Lawther MW, jancisrobinson.com, Mar 2022
New barrels. Bright red with less evolution in colour than Le Clos and Les Poyeux. Subtle and smoky on the nose, the palate assertive with a power that belies the lightness of the vintage. Good balance, the tannins matched by adequate fruit. (JL)
