“A beautiful deep garnet color with violet highlights. A promising nose, focused on fruit—plum, blackcurrant, and delicate spices. A silky attack, full-bodied and lively on the palate, with aromas that are not yet fully developed; a harmonious sensation, well-balanced aging—everything is in place; a successful vintage.” (Le Guide des Vins 2016 - Gilbert & Gaillard) Bottle sealed with a screw cap.

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2018 guide) 16,5/20 (Reference wine)

About the wine:

A superb, intensely fruity and mineral-driven nose; on the palate, it is voluptuous and harmonious, with a tight, ripe tannic structure, lingering aromas, and a refreshing finish. Both generous and elegant. Excellent value for money.

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rated (2018 guide) Mentioned (Successful wine)

Rated estate (2023 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)

About the wine:

This deep, dark wine only reveals its full character after being allowed to breathe, offering warm notes of ripe fruit, prunes, and spices. On the palate, it is supple, well-integrated, and bursting with fruit. It just lacks a touch of freshness to earn a star.

About the estate:

A sprawling 92-hectare vineyard in Entre-deux-Mers, founded in 1920 by the great-grandparents. Its strengths include a state-of-the-art winery completed in 2016 and the complementary skills of Christophe Vincent (in the vineyards) and Fabien (in the cellar). Saint-Vincent is said to inspire them, but it is rather their advanced technical training and high standards that make this estate a benchmark for Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur.
