  James Suckling
  "Beautiful purity of lemon and green-mango aromas with light notes of fresh herbs and wet stones. The palate delivers a very attractively fresh and lively array of lemon flavors and a long, smooth and layered texture. Super fresh and taut finish. There’s lovely tension here. A blend of 90% sauvignon blanc and 10% semillon. Drink or hold."

  "88 % Sauvignon Blanc, 12 % Sémillon. Helles Gelb. Betörender Duft nach Zitronenmelisse und Pampelmuse, dahinter weisse Blüten und viel Mineralik im Untergrund. Am schlanken Gaumen mit spürbaren Wachsnoten und einer spürbaren, nervigen Rasse. Im gebündelten Finale mit Limonenessenz und Agrumen. Hat eine belebende Wirkung aufgrund dieser kühlenden Frische. Genial gelungen dieses Jahr!"

  "Still young this wine has good potential. Richly textured and balanced lemon and tropical fruits are lifted by subtle wood aging. It is a ripe wine, ready for further aging. Drink from 2023."

  Wine Spectator
  "Bright and lively, with lemon and gooseberry gelée notes forming the core, while thyme, tarragon and sel gris accents race along the edge. A flash of salted butter runs underneath on the finish, lending a flattering hint. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now through 2023."

  Decanter
  "More concentration than the Rahoul, with excellent zippy citrus and white flower notes, along with gentle, cold ash smoke. Not quite the lift of the best years, but this is an enjoyable and well-balanced white, with a slate finish. Drinking Window 2021 - 2026"

  The Wine Advocate
  "The 2018 Blanc leaps from the glass with vibrant Granny Smith apple, green mango and passion fruit scents, with hints of cedar chest, beeswax and dill seed. The medium-bodied palate delivers tropical fruit layers with a suggestion of oak and a lively backbone, finishing with good length."
