jamessuckling.com, 98 points: (JS 97-98 points) Lots of white peach and red apple with crushed-stone and pine-needle undertones. Full-bodied, yet compact and linear with beautiful toffee, light caramel, praline and nougat character to the fruit...

MW Bob Campbell, 95 points: A classic yin and yang sauvignon blanc with passionfruit and guava flavours contrasting with lime juice, green capsicum and lemongrass, while a sweet-and-sour contrast builds a delicious tension. Nice purity and length

Wine Enthusiast, 98 points: (WE 96–98 points) This is a beautiful white wine in its balance and in its elegantly textured fruit and acidity. With richness balanced by the wine's crisp green fruits, there is complexity and depth here that gives the...

Wine Spectator, 96 points: This broad, striking white is elegant and rich with complexity, featuring green melon, yellow fig, ginger and verbena notes, underscored with heather, stone, flint and spice details. Offers great energy and tension...

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: (98-99 points) A super white with dense mango, lemon and lime, as well as some clove and nutmeg. Full-bodied, really complete and long. Sensational. So much potential here. 66% sauvignon blanc and 34% semillon.

Decanter, 94 points: A relatively brisk and fresh style of Les Granits this year, well balanced, with an upright mineral spine. The acidity is spot-on, giving the wine edge and length. Oak is well judged, and doesn't occlude the fruit. A...

View From The Cellar, 96 points: Domaine Huët’s 2020 Moelleux bottling from the Le Haut Lieu vineyard is an absolutely stunning wine in the making. The bouquet is deep, pure and very, very precise (recalling the 1989 version when it was young!), soaring...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: (95-96 points) This is full-bodied with layers of fruit. Ripe and flavorful. Lots going on with a fleshy feel. No malolactic this year. Sweet peach, honeysuckle and citrus. Contrastive. 52% sauvignon blanc, 14% sauvignon...

Wine Enthusiast, 98 points: (WE 96–98 points) This classic white wine reveals impressive potential as it unfolds. Along with its enveloping white fruits and crisp citrus it also has a wrought texture that will push it forward for the long term. -...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, 99 points: Green apples, pears, lemon, grapefruit peel, spice, flowers, crushed rocks and stone create the nose. The palate is full, rich, deep and creamy, with endless layers of fresh, ripe, yellow citrus, honeysuckle and...

Decanter, 96 points: Almond, quince and a touch of rhubarb at this early stage; you sense the ripeness, but it's not exotically fruity in 2020. The silkiness and glycerol on the palate are quite present, this sample shows plentiful oak...

Decanter, 98 points: Plenty of richness on the palate, and all the intense mineral facets you would expect from L'Ermite, both on the nose and the palate. Intensely fresh, driving, tense and salty. The oak is very present in this sample, but...

Wine Spectator, 92 points: This white is racy up front, chiseling flavors of melon, nectarine and Mandarin orange into a linear frame, but then expanding on the palate, with lightly silky texture carrying the juicy fruit and expressive accents of...

Wine Spectator, 92 points: Wonderfully succulent, with fleshy nectarine and mango flavors up front, backed by notes of sea salt, Meyer lemon and pomelo that linger on the long, plump and juicy finish. Drink now. 8,441 cases made. — MW

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: (WE 92–94 points) Citrus and crisp white apples go with the wine's mineral texture. It is balanced, full of white fruits as well as the beginnings of fine concentration. The wine will age well over the medium term. -...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: (95-97 points) The first vintage made in their brand new, state-of-the-art cellars is deep garnet in color. The wine rapidly opens with notes of Cuban cigars, cedar, creme de cassis, flowers and forest leaf aromas. On the...
