About the estate:
Whether it’s Bordeaux or Bordeaux Supérieur, red, white, or rosé, Éric Duffau masterfully crafts wines from the region’s AOCs. In 1979, he took over the family estate located in Entre-deux-Mers, on the left bank of the Dordogne. His 46-hectare vineyard is situated primarily on hillsides facing Saint-Émilion.

Rated estate (2022 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
Éric Duffau demonstrates that Bordeaux grape varieties harvested at peak ripeness, carefully vinified, and aged with restraint produce impeccable wines at an excellent price point across all three red, white, and rosé categories. The clay-based terroirs on limestone subsoils, located primarily in Génissac and Moulon, impart all their flavors to the wines, but slightly excessive oak can mask the fruit’s natural character.
