Expert Reviews

90 Points | International Wine Cellar , November 2009

Light ruby. Spicy strawberry and raspberry aromas are complicated by sexy floral and mineral notes. Racy and taut on the palate, offering delicate red berry and cherry flavors complicated by notes of allspice and white pepper. This impressively pure and linear wine is balanced to repay cellaring. Alain Coudert told me that this wine is sourced from a single-hectare holding.
