This classified growth, owned by INRA, has grown considerably since the Institute's researchers decided to apply the results of their most advanced research to it, and the arrival of Mr Derenoncourt as an advisor.

Revue du Vin de France : 87-88/100 « Ce pur sauvignon (dont quelques pour cent de sauvignon gris) se montre vif, linéaire »
Quarin : 87/100 « Nez fruité et discret. Bouche caressante et fruitée, un peu timide après le milieu de bouche, mais agréable. »
Dupont (Le point) : 15/20 « Bouche vive, citronnée »
Galloni (Vinous) : 91-93/100 « Crushed rocks, mint, lemon peel, jasmine and white pepper all build in a taut, nervy white that offers tons of character and pure pleasure. »
