Château L'Evêché, a Grand Cru in Saint-Emilion, 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!

Rated estate (2016 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, 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.

Review by Mr. FRANCOIS D. Posted on 02/25/2019
Unfortunately, it goes down too easily— a very well-balanced wine that pairs well with any dish. Excellent value for the price

Review and comment by Mr. PHILIPPE S. Posted on March 5, 2013
I had a problem opening it—only half the cork came out. Average to decent Bordeaux; I was perhaps expecting a little better, but for the price, it’s respectable. I was torn between a 2/5 and a 3/5, but the cork issue made me settle on a 2/5.

A pleasant wine to drink, unpretentious yet with a nice structure. Tasted in the spring of 2012.
