Score 16/20 · Drink 2023-2028, Jancis Robinson MW, Oct 2024

Empty bottle 540 g. Fermented for 2 weeks and aged in 228-litre oak barrels for 4 years. RS <0.12 g/l. Free SO 2 <6 mg/l, total SO 2 <20 mg/l. Vegan. Glowing gold. Lots of richness initially but it’s dry on the end! Lots of energy. (JR)

The 2018 L'Etoile Savagnin matured in un-topped-up barrels for some three years. It was a very warm vintage with low yields and concentrated wines (14.5% alcohol) pungent and persistent. This matured in an aboveground and slightly warmer cellar and was not matured in foudre (only in barrels), because they had a lot of Chardonnay; so that might be the reason why there's a more pungent smokiness. 3,078 bottles were filled in April 2023.
