90-92 points and 'Outstanding/Top value,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(40% whole cluster). Moderate reduction masks the underlying fruit but I doubt that it will last. Otherwise the succulent, dense and powerful flavors evidence a really lovely texture before concluding in a mildly rustic, serious and youthfully austere finish. This too is worth considering provided that you have the patience to allow it at least some time in bottle first. Drink: 2026+. (Jan 2018)"

Producer notes: "This cuvée comes from 5 parcels located in the middle of the hill still on the coteau of the Moulin à Vent hill. The vines are aged 60 to 80 years, planted on no deep soils (30-50 cm) of blue and pink granites and sands. It produces some wines with more density and minerality and longer finishing. It’s a wine that will keep between 5 and 10 years depending on the vintage to enjoy it to its full maturity."
