~ 92/100, Editor’s Choice, Roger Voss, The Wine Enthusiast 2019 : «Old vines are the heart of this wine from a single parcel of less than two acres. They give a structured win, very mineral and concentrated, bringing out great acidity as well as green fruits. The wine is only just ready and will be better from 2020. »

~ 86/100, IWSC 2019  :  « Yellow stone fruit aromas, roasted lemons, a little honeyed development also. Showing a level of nice compact fruit, clean acidity and fairly long, a modern style and very tasty. »

– Pouilly-Fumé Clos du Château Paladi 2015

Vivino – marKo – 11 ratings – Rated the 20th Dec 2020 : 5/5

Je crois qu’on ne peut pas demander mieux à un Sauvignon. Même un Cloudy Bay ne lui arrive pas à la cheville. Sur de simples rillettes de thon, humm..!

Vivino – Phil Devil – 2 notes – Note donnée le June 30th 2019 : 5/5

Tres belle maison. Tres bon vin, dans l’essence de ce qu’il se fait de mieux en Pouilly fumé

Vivino – Hector F – 1070 ratings – Rated on Nov 26th 2019 : 4,0/5

Blind tasting. Upfront: pale yellow color, with marked aromas of citrus, with background of tropical fruits. On the palate, young and bright, with high acidity. Notes of subtle minerality. Original guess: Sauvignon blanc from New Zealand. Pleasantly surprised.

Vivino – Bart Lion – 367 ratings – Rated on 2nd Sept 2019 : 4,0/5

floral notes and citrus on the nose. Very well balanced acidity, medium lingering finish.

Vivino – Jouke Brouwer – 41 ratings – Rated on Apr 1st 2018 : 4,0/5

Beautiful pouilly fume. Lively nose with minerals and citrus fruit. Well balanced stony fruitiness and minerals but still full bodied. Drank it with asparagus a la brabanconne and it held up great.

Bella mineralità, che accompagna su tutto il sorso

Vivino – YJ – 1653 notes – Note donnée le Dec 22nd 2018 : 4/5

Un échantillon brut de cuve, prélevé en cours d’élevage et auquel il aura fallu une bonne heure d’aération pour se mettre en place.
À l’ouverture, c’est complètement mutique. Mais la métamorphose fini par se produire.
Un joli nez très frais se développe sur le citron, le buis et une belle touche minérale.
En bouche, la matière est bien droite mais pas très généreuse. L’expression se fait plus exotique, sur des notes subtiles de litchi et kiwi bien fraîches, mêlées à une belle minéralité fumée.
