Other Reviews....
(these vines now average about 17 years of age, according to director Brice de la Morandière, as a lot of replanting was done in 1998 and 1999, with the rest of the vines taken out in 2002 and replanted in 2004): Ripe aromas of yellow peach and hazelnut. Not particularly dense or deep but tactile and thick, with an element of minerality providing lift. Finishes with good texture and length. The yield here was healthy, as these vines were not affected by frost.

Stephen Tanzer - Vinous

This shows wonderful straw, dry-earth, apple and lemon character. Medium to full body, creamy texture and a fruity finish. Spicy. White pepper. Drink or hold on release.

There is ample citrus influence to the markedly floral-inflected nose that flashes hints of roasted nut and oak toast. The racy, intense and much stonier medium-bodied flavors possess fine delineation and excellent depth on the refined, focused and impressively long and youthfully firm finish. Lovely juice.

Allen Meadows - Burghound

Rather simpler on the nose than the Leflaive Pulignys just tasted. Broad and sweetish. Refreshing green citrus streak on the palate. Lots of chalky chewiness on the end.
