“Unanimously praised by our tasters, this cuvée—aged for 12 months in barrels—boasts a deep, dense, almost black color. Intense and complex, the nose reveals notes of black fruit and marzipan, accompanied by toasty oak. Supple and smooth on the palate, the wine is round, rich, and full-bodied, perfectly structured with a lovely length thanks to round, flavorful tannins. A pleasant hint of bitterness lends a nice touch of liveliness to the finish. A truly beautiful wine that will be best enjoyed in a few years.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

About the estate:

Catherine and Sylvain Bordenave—who have been joined by their sons Alexandre and Vincent since 2003—have made the Châteaux Haut-Canteloup and Les Pierrères must-try wines in the Blaye region. They manage a beautiful 51-hectare vineyard: 30 hectares of red grape varieties in the town of Fours and 20 hectares of white grape varieties in Saint-Palais-de-Blaye.

Gilbert & Gaillard

Wine rated (2021 guide) 89/100

About the wine:

A beautiful, intense ruby color with purple highlights. An inviting nose combining plum, red berries, delicate spices, and vanilla-scented oak. On the palate, it is full of strength and vitality—firm, concentrated, and deep—and is just waiting to unfold. A fine, traditional wine.
