96/100 - A very stylish wine that delivers very well from the 2017 vintage. There’s a very brambly and juicy array of fine, spicy cherries with such appealing, sappy complexity already. So much energy in this wine. The palate brings a superb array of very bright and juicy red and darker cherries. Exceptional concentration. So vibrant and so generous. Drink or hold.

17.5+/20 - Own vines and very consistent every year. Picked 8 September. 30% whole bunch. 30% new oak on the grands crus – red and white. Apparently this was one of winemaker Jérôme Faure-Brac's favourite wines in 2017. Cask sample. Mid to deep cherry red. Scented with sweet red fruits, creamy, even a touch of vanilla. More restrained on the palate thanks to the tight tannin/acid structure but still scented. More notable acidity than in many wines in this vintage, a little more severe, but should age to elegance.
