Note: Guide Hachette 2** (Remarkable Wine) + Editor's Choice
“This 2010 vintage offers intense notes of toast and vanilla that nonetheless respect the fruit (blackcurrant, redcurrant jam), with hints of eucalyptus and sweet spices. A balance that is reflected in a full-bodied, dense, very round, and silky palate, supported by already well-integrated tannins. ‘A wine with feminine charm,’ sums up one taster.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2013)

Review by Mr. CLAUDE D. Posted on May 10, 2013

I wonder how a wine like this, which I found too strong (the taste of alcohol overpowers everything else), could earn two stars in the Guide Hachette. The only thing going for it is the price.

Meh. Nothing special—I should have been wary of the name "Cuvée Prestige" ;-) You can get the same thing by grabbing the first bottle of Bordeaux you see at the supermarket...

My first order from this site arrived right on time. I haven't tasted the wine yet. I placed my second order yesterday, and judging by today's specials, the third one won't be long in coming... I can't wait to taste these wines so I can give my final verdict!
