VINUM: "Duftig, kühl, steinig, exotische Frucht, Safran; dichter Gaumen, ohne jegliche Schwere, cremige Textur, delikate Frucht, präzise Säure, mineralisch geprägtes Finale. Ein hocheleganter Süsswein, mit viel Eleganz."

DECANTER: "A question mark for this venerable Barsac Premier Cru: Despite their best efforts, respecting biodynamic practices, the château team lost about 75% of the harvest to mildew, including top, old-vine Sémillon grapes (a miniscule yield of 2.7hl/ha) and the cloudy sample that I tried, exuding fine and fresh pineapple and orange notes, lacked expected energy. While very good, it seems to underperform in 2023, at least based on the sample that I had. It has 130 grams per litre of residual sugar and 4 grams of total acidity and a pH of 3.8. Ageing in 100% new oak."
