95 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "The aromas here are dense with plum, fig, ripe mulberry and hints of earth, menthol, spice and smoke. Impressive density and weight on the palate lead the wine to a lingering finish. Eminently ageworthy, this has the most concentration and depth of the range. Labelled MMXXII, the cuvée is produced with grapes from the domaine's oldest vines (more than a century old) in the climats of Côte de Py and Douby, given a maceration of up to 36 days and nine months ageing in used casks. Drinking Window: 2028-2045. (5/23/24)" 95 points James Suckling: "This has rose hips, petals, orange zest, cherries, crushed stone and even a touch of walnuts on the nose. It’s tight and firm with mineral notes and a medium to full body. Firm tannins. Structured and very focused. Dried herb and stone notes linger. Unfiltered. Try after 2025. (1/25/24)"
92 points La Revue du Vin de France: "The Marcel Lapierre cuvee, with its obvious reserve, delivers a still unclear message. But, no doubt, its tannic length and definition will take it far. (2025)"
This very special cuvée is only produced in the best years. It is made from 100-year old vines, mostly from the Côte de Py.
