Robert Parker
"The wine has a bright citrus color and opens with a super-clear, elegant and complex bouquet of crushed stones and bright, ripe fruit aromas. [...] this is a subtle, clear and refreshing chasselas, elegant, textured and structured with a stimulating, dynamic and saline finish. The wine is vibrantly fresh, despite having undergone malolactic fermentation and fermented in two stages, autumn 2018 and spring/summer 2019." (Wine Advocate 2020 - Stephan Reinhardt)
