Reviews 93 points Burghound "There is excellent freshness and complexity to the layered combination of mineral reduction, pear, green apple, white flower and quinine water. There is equally good freshness and verve to the big-bodied, muscular and powerful flavors that possess plenty of dry extract that coats the palate while buffering the impressively long, lemony, chiseled and mildly austere finish. (AM)" 94 points John Gilman "Butteaux tends to have a lot of clay in its topsoil, but the striking base of minerality in the 2014 version from Isabelle Raveneau is truly exceptional. The absolutely beautiful nose delivers a superb constellation of apple, pear, incipient notes of anise, beeswax, complex, minerally soil tones, a bit of lemon and an exotic, delicate topnote of mint. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bdoied and rock solid at the core, with laser-like focus, superb balance and a very, very long, complex finish that closes with outstanding mineral drive. This is a great vintage of Butteaux. (JG)"
