92 Points | International Wine Cellar , January/February 2010

Vivid yellow-gold. An intensely floral bouquet displays scents of citrus peel, peach, melon, violet and crushed stone. Taut and penetrating, with terrific purity and delicacy to the lemon and pit fruit flavors. Zesty minerality adds clarity and cut. The finish is sharply focused, pure and very long, but for all its vibrancy this wine maintains a pliant texture. The exposure of this vineyard (Clos Bouche), which features 50-year-old vines, is identical to that of neighbor Chateau Grillet, and it shares similar granite and mica schist soils.
