Score 91/100 · Drink 2020-2030, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Apr 2020

Disgorged in July 2018 with four grams per liter dosage, the 2011 Premier Cru Le Cran is a fine effort in this challenging vintage, unwinding in the glass with notes of green apple, Lilly pollen, beeswax and fresh herbs. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and racy, with good mid-palate volume and a saline finish, it's drinking well.

The 2011 Le Cran offers terrific freshness and a distinct savory edge. The apricot, chamomile, light honey and wild flower notes are nicely woven together. Although the 2011 Cran largely avoids the awkward green notes that afflict so many wines in this vintage, it also appears to be aging at a relatively fast pace. I would not push my luck with aging. Dosage is 3.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: July, 2018.

Deep colour. Tense and vibrant. Dry finish. Raphaël Bérêche professes himself proud not to have made a vegetal 2011. Just a little chewy… (JR)
