Rating: 91/100 - As reviewed by Wine & Spirits Magazine on 04/09. This is fuller bodied and darker in tone than the Haut-Lieu (recommended above), reflecting this site's deeper clay soils. It combines a richly fragrant depth of fruit with a tightly focused structure and grip, managing to feel both racy and broad at the same time.

Rating for France-Loire: 83 (slightly worse than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: young, aging quickly, could be good now<br/>
