A purity and balance to this year with mineral, lavender and licorice character. Full body yet balanced and super silky. Bright and precise. Best ever. Mar 2016, www.JamesSuckling.com

The best vintage yet under LVMH’s ownership, 2015 is marked by the high percentage of Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc, giving the wine energy, perfume and structure. Aromatic, leafy and well balanced with grassy freshness and well-integrated oak. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2022-2030

Belongs to Cheval Blanc now! 69% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon. Harvested 18 September - 2 October. Cheval Blanc have pulled out lots of vines and planted Cabernet Sauvignon. Trying to keep very gentle tannins. 50% new oak but all in 500 litre. Quite a change. Wouldn't work for Cheval. Very gentle tannins. Really perfumed. Very sweet on the palate. Very different from the old days. Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2023-2030

New, elegant style clearly established. Cabernet components up to 31%. Instantly fresh and floral with leafy, dark fruit notes. Palate gentle and refined with a suave texture and touch of fine tannin. Freshness persists. Apr 2016, James Lawther MW, www.Decanter.com, Drink: 2020-2030
