Notes : Robert Parker 94-96+/100, RVF 18/20, Gault Millau 18/20
"The finesse of grain and texture, the skilful balance between ripeness and freshness, and the art of ageing are all characteristic of Denis Durantou, and give his cru a rare elegance that still places it in the top five of its appellation." (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2011 - Bettane & Desseauve)
