- 96 Punkte James Suckling: „Aromas of apricot, passion fruit, lemon pie and custard. Crushed stones, fennel and cloves, too. It’s full-bodied with bright acidity and a layered, creamy texture. Long, rounded and mineral finish. Very tight and structured. Drink or hold.“

- 94 Punkte, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider: „With a strong bees wax character, the wine shows off its nose of green apple, yellow citrus, lemon curd, vanilla and flower aromas with ease. Vibrant, juicy, sweet and creamy, with stony accents to its layers of fruit, the sweetness and lift in the finish comes though nicely. The wine is made from a blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Semillon.“
- 94 Punkte, JANE ANSON, Inside Bordeaux: „A wine that I have tasted several times over the summer, the last time during a recent vertical at the property. It’s at such a lovely moment to drink, showing the rich concentration of the vintage in its juicy white peach, mango and apricot pit notes, combined with the slate texture that keeps things focused. Likely to age a little faster than some other white vintages of Malartic, simply because of the heat of the summer, but this has energy, fragrant white flower notes, and is delicious. From 7ha of white vines, with an average age of 32 years, and at a 32hl/h yield in 2018. Harvest September 10 to 24. Michel Rolland“ and Eric Boissenot consultants. 55% new oak but of varying sizes, and a mix of Bordeaux and Burgundy barrels.“
- FALSTAFF, Peter Moser: “Helles Gelbgrün, silberfarbene Reflexe. Zart nach Papaya und Mango, ein Hauch von frischem Biskuit, einladendes Bukett. Mittlere Komplexität, seidige Textur, zart nach reifer Birne, dunkle Mineralität im Nachhall, bereits ausgewogen und gut antrinkbar, feine Kräuterwürze im Rückgeschmack.“
- Adrian van Velsen – vvWine.ch: „Offene Nase, wirkt reiffruchtig, mit mürbem Apfel und etwas gelbem Pfirsich.  Im Gaumen saftig und mit Druck, reiffruchtig, baut ziemlich viel Druck auf, wirkt opulent, aber nicht schwerfällig, endet auf gelbe Pfirsiche und exotische Früchte. Komplex und lang. 2021-2027“
