James Suckling, 93 Points
"This is showing aromas of apricot stones, almonds, cardamom and lemon pith. It,s medium-bodied with plenty of phenolic texture, with a fresh, mineral and almost chalky finish. Drink or hold."
Wine Advocate, 92 Points
"The 2022 Chenin Blanc comes from a blend of eight single vineyards, four of which are bottled as single-vineyard Chenin Blanc. It displays a refined nose with notions of apple and citrus blossom and white peach and wax melon. Medium-bodied and with a fine mineral tension, the palate displays a kiss of phenolic bitterness before revealing layers of complexity. It ends with a refined, fresh, ethereal finish. Enjoy with food."
Vinous, 91 Points
"The 2022 Chenin Blanc comes from 8 vineyards in granite soils, plantings from 1968 to 1986, matured 20% in concrete and the remainder in neutral oak. Lemon thyme, orange zest and light waxy scents blossom on the nose - quite intense and well-delineated, almost feisty in style. The palate is taut and fresh, more saline than the Aristargos, with a linear, slightly more malic finish than usual. Plenty of freshness, but I would cellar this for 3-5 years before broaching. Very fine."
Alcohol: 12.5%
