Score 90/100 · Drink 2021-2027, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2018
(Jean-Pierre Latour used no more than 25% new oak for his 2016 white wines): Bright light yellow. Ripe peach and fresh apricot on the nose, along with menthol and soil tones. A step up in texture from the Cuvée Charles Maxime, as the yield here was just 30 hectoliters per hectare. Smoother and deeper but also in a distinctly saline style, this wine finishes with more refinement and length.

Lighter yellow than the Charles Maxime but a bit hazy. Deep, rich nose conveys good lemon-limey lift. This, too, boasts a strong impression of acidity, with salty minerality contributing to its tactile, chewy texture. But this wine still needs the rounding influence of more élevage .
