Vinous - Score: 92-94 (2022 August)

The 2020 Buisson Renard is made from vines planted on the lower half of a south-facing slope with this part of the world's classic combination of clay and flint soils. However, towards the bottom of the slope, the clay becomes richer, giving rounder shoulders and a great sense of volume on the mid-palate. And yet it remains light. The wine is delicately aromatic with subtle notes of nectarine joining the oak-derived vanilla characters (20-25% new barrels). The finish is precise and long, the wine's fragrance coating the mouth as if taking a seat on the inside of your cheeks. Tasted from tank.
