Château L'Evêché, a Grand Cru in Saint-Émilion, also owns nearly 6 hectares of vineyards in the Bordeaux appellation on the slopes across the Dordogne River, in Nérigean and Pujols, where this Origami cuvée is produced: a wine that is pure pleasure—flavorful, silky, and well-balanced—offering surprising value for the price. A great success!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2016 guide) 1*Star (A well-crafted, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
This "poupée" vintage from François Janoueix comes from two plots located in the Beauregard area and west of Cheval Blanc. The soil consists of gravel and ancient sand, and the vines are in their radiant fifties.
