90-93
90-93 ST "Reticent aromas of spring flowers and lemon candy. Very rich on entry, then penetrating and uncompromisingly dry, with powerful spine. Very dry, palate-staining finish. A wine of noteworthy finesse-closer in style to Chevalier than to Le Montrachet. These vines suffered from a bit of mildew in early summer, but there was no rot at harvest time, said Cournut." 90-93 ST "Reticent aromas of spring flowers and lemon candy.
