Critic reviews
"The 2022 Semillon comes from the same vineyard as previous vintages and includes 3% Muscat d’Alexandria. It was whole-bunch pressed and matured for 14 months in 70% new oak, along with concrete eggs and amphorae. The 2022 has a perfumed bouquet with yellow fruit linseed and crushed stony scents, quite tight at the moment. The palate is well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity, perhaps not as complex as 2021 but harmonious. Touches of peach skin, marzipan and crème brûlée emerge toward the finish. It will mature with style in bottle."

"Creamy and textural, with complex layers and aromas of almond, waxed lemon, thyme, persimmon and fragrant apricot. Cedar, too. Full-bodied but with wonderful freshness. Full of fruit on the palate with a very long finish. From old vines planted in 1902, 1942 and 1936. Vinified 70% in new oak and 30% in concrete egg. Drink or hold."
