95/100 James Suckling
‘Such an elegant wine for this Grand Cru that tends towards aromatic richness, the pineapple and basil notes being very delicate on the nose.The rather full-bodied palate is more succulent, but even there the flinty minerality keeps everything very fresh and straight.The finish is very long and concentrated, with great vitality and very fine tannins.Made from biodynamically grown and Demeter certified grapes.Drink or cellar.’ James Suckling
