16.5 points, Jancis Robinson, September 2021Full bottle 1,353 g. 80% >50-year-old Marsanne, 20% >40-year-old Roussanne from Pierrelles, Beaume, Murets and La Croix.Aged for 12 months in new and one-year-old barrels, then 12 months in Stockinger foudre. To be bottled in autumn 2022 without fining and only light filtration. Cask sample.These vines are young relative to many of those in the Tardieu Laurent stable. This is very big wine! Quite different in scale from the rest of the whites from this address. Enormous richness. A bit of a Rhône Montrachet. So long and opulent. There is something almost burnt or burnished about this. It's almost Viognier-like in its heady scent.Already very alluring. Peachy, full and almost too fat for its own good. Not for purists!
