clear red; the bouquet has a curved air, smoky red fruits, raspberry, glisten in the fruit. The palate gives stylish red fruits with elegance in the gras, the centre firm. The tannins are direct, and fresh through it. There’s an accumulation of intensity in the juice, blood-iron at the end. It’s very crisp, and takes to the air, is lucid, tight, good, Nordic. From 2026. 4 stars

Graphite, iron and pencil lead come before the blackberry fruit here – a very mineral aromatic expression, almost austere. Medium-bodied but with good presence on the palate and some sweetness to the berry fruits. A compact, dry and mineral expression. La Landonne is always strict, but this really is austere. The whole-bunch element is marked, and the tannins are fine and plentiful but very tense and dry. This needs a long time, don`t drink it too young. The only single-vineyard bottlings in 2021 will be La Landonne and Côte Blonde - and that`s if they are not eventually blended into Ampodium. 94 points
