95+/100
Maturity : 2022 - 2038
Reviewed by William Kelley ; the 30th Apr 2020 :
"The 2012 Premier Cru Le Cran was one of the highlights of this tasting, unwinding in the glass with aromas of ripe citrus oil, fresh peach, crisp green orchard fruit and nougat. Full-bodied, layered and enveloping, it's powerful and concentrated, its racy spine of acidity cloaked in a deep core of fruit, concluding with a saline finish."
