Guide des vins Hachette 2021 2* : « With its beautiful straw yellow color nuanced with jade reflections, the color immediately sets the tone. The bouquet initially a little hesitant, opens upon airing on aromas of citrus and acacia flower. It is on the palate that the wine is fully recovered: volume, full-bodied, delicate touch, a well-felt freshness supporting it, and length. A very balanced pessac, and for a long time. »
