93 Points, Wine Enthusiast – “From one of the rare estates in Saint-Julien that is not a classed growth, this wine has many of the same perfumed, elegant characteristics as its illustriuous neighbors. restrained tannins show well against the ripe black-currant fruit and spice from new-wood aging. drink this wine from 2024.”
