What reviewers say
“Qu'est ce que c'est magnifique ! Au premier nez je perçois le miel, des petites notes d'abricots secs... Puissance et délicatesse. On pourrait croire à un vieux bordeaux de prestige bien conservé... Intriguant. En bouche ça explose. Sans aération c'est fumé, impressionnant et intriguant. Deux ou trois tours de verre et on sent que l'aération révèle une profondeur incroyable. Un sauvignon de génie. Minéralité, complexité, gourmandise avec une rondeur admirable. On ne veut pas que ça s'arrête.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Rich, very exuberant wax and blood orange, followed on notes of pear, honey, quince ... pretty amazing and surprising. Beautiful and expressive wish. Round lot of length. Previous experience despite his young age.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Alexandre Bain L. d'Ange Pouilly-Fumé lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against White · Frankrijk (599 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 460.
