“In my long career, I’ve had some top-quality vintages, such as the 1982, 1989, 1990, 2000, 2001, 2009, 2010, 2015, but I think I’ve just witnessed the making of the best.”

“After 2015, a great year for Bordeaux, here is 2016, which is different but just as great. This is a wonderful expression of a vintage, which will be remembered as one of the greatest wines, ticking all the boxes that Bordeaux has ever produced.”

“What’s fascinating about this vintage is its distinctiveness. It is like no other. I can’t think of another Bordeaux vintage with this quality of tannins, this smoothness and freshness all at the same time.”
