(Please see my overview of the 2018 vintage here and my introduction to the vintage at de Montille here.)
The lack of biodynamic viticulture and other control over the vineyard in the extreme 2018 vintage show in these wines compared to the Domaine whites. These are not bad, but clearly a step below the Domaine wines in 2018.
