Wine Advocate, 97 Points

“The 2018 Les Grands Teppes Vieilles Vignes, produced with Chardonnay grapes from vines planted in 1919 on red marl and gravel soils, fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in neutral oak barrels for four years with the lees and was bottled unfined, unfiltered and with no added sulfur, the new Ganevat way for ouill or topped-up whites. The wine is slightly reductive (I drank a bottle shortly after, and the reduction was still there but went away after a few minutes in the glass), with a note of struck match, but it is also precise, clean and fresh, with a pale color and crystalline flavors. This is pristine and a little austere, developing some spiciness (faintly reminiscent of flor…), with a long, tasty and salty finish. A superb Teppes that transcends the character of the vintage.”
