Score 92/100 · Drink 2018-2024, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2017

Subtle aromas of orange zest and lemon lifted by calcaire minerality. Distinctly silky and feminine in texture, displaying lovely finesse and energy for the year in spine of what Pillot describes as relatively low acidity (about 4 grams per liter). Finishes very long and thick, with a repeating chalky quality.

Score 91-93/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jun 2016

Pale, bright yellow. Explosive aromas of lemon, licorice, lichee and toasted baguette . The palate delivers a captivating combination of sucrosité , roundness and enveloping minerality, without quite the bracing stoniness of a cooler year. This very fine-grained wine boasts terrific palate presence. Finishes suave and very long, with subtle hints of lime, mint and rock.
