Score 91/100 · Drink 2017-2025, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Aug 2016

Bright, pale yellow. Pure but reticent nose hints at stone fruits and caraway seed, along with a suggestion of flowers and some smoky oak. Rich, silky and round but light on its feet, offering captivating fine-grained flavors of ripe peach, spices and flowers. Finishes with a firm edge and very good subtle length. Not as floral or complex as the very best examples of 2014 Folatières but this substantial wine is consistent from start to finish and offers plenty of early sex appeal.

He bought this land recently. Red soils that are pretty powerful with big stones. Very muscular. Bright fruit and with fruit in the ascendant. Lots to love! (JR)

Score 90-92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2015

Pale, bright yellow. Delicate aromas of yellow peach and yellow flowers. Supple, ripe and nicely concentrated, with well-integrated acidity and a persistent, chewy back end. Not yet complex but boasts attractive fruit.
