96-97 JS / 94-96 WA / 94-96 VM / 95 DE A dense, creamy DC white with lots of rich cooked-apple, mineral, cream and praline character. It’s full and very layered with chewy intensity and a long, bitter-lemon and almost...
91 DE Citrus and white pear fruits are the major character to the wine, all wrapped up in a tight spine of mouthwatering minerality. Great stuff. Around half of the planting Sauvignon Blanc is from Sancerre genetics. 20%...
100 JS / 98+ WA / 95 VM / 95 WS A white of incredible energy and depth of fruit with a grapefruit, stone and peach character. Some hints of minerals and tropical fruit too. It's full and agile with a great backbone of...
100 JS / 97-100 JD / 96-98+ WA / 97 VM / 97 DE This is crazy quality. The depth and intensity is really something. It is so compact and powerful with such intensity and density. Energy. So structured. Full-bodied. Layered...

97 JS / 94+ WA / 94 JD / 18 JR The refined, yellow grapefruit nose and the elegant first impression on the palate hardly prepare you for the tidal wave of flavor and freshness that then hits you. Yet, the wine remains so...
94 JA Love this wine, and it has taken a leap in depth and character since the addition of Sémillion as of the 2018 vintage. Fleshy citrus comes through in the rich texture and a contrasting scrape of fresh acidities...
95 DE This has tons of flesh and depth through the mid palate. There is real substance here, translating into muscles rather than weight, and minerality in its slate texture. One barrel of Sémillon, and 100% Sancerre...

100 DE / 98 JS / 96 VM / 96 WA / 96 JD / 17.5 JR There is flesh here but it is so precise and well held together that it takes a minute to realise how much weight is in the palate. Tons of creamy white peach, apricot...
99 JD / 98 JS / 97 WS / 95+ WA / 95 DE #20 James Suckling's Top 100 Wines of France 2021 I'd say the finest white I've ever tasted from this estate, the 2018 Château Margaux Pavillon Blanc is all Sauvignon...
