“This Merlot-dominated wine boasts a beautiful deep color, revealing intense black fruit aromas and subtle hints of clove. On the palate, it is supple on the attack, full-bodied, round, rich, and spicy, supported by perfectly integrated tannins and lingering with a lovely fruity and slightly oaky finish. Remarkable balance. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
This beautiful 380-hectare estate is one of the largest in the Bordeaux appellation. It includes Château Larroque, located south of Langon on a beautiful clay-gravel terroir, with a classic blend of grape varieties (45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 25% Cabernet Franc), Château de Beauregard-Ducourt, located south of Targon, whose vineyard is evenly divided between Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as Château La Rose du Pin and Château d’Haurets. The wines are of consistent quality and great classicism: powerful reds, highly aromatic, lively, and refreshing whites, and delicious rosés. A truly beautiful range full of character.

About the wine:
This Merlot-dominated wine boasts a beautiful deep color, with rich aromas of dark fruit and subtle hints of clove. On the palate, it is supple on the attack, full-bodied, round, and spicy, supported by perfectly integrated tannins and leading to a lovely, fruity finish with a hint of oak. Remarkably well-balanced.
About the estate:
In 1858, the Ducourt family settled at Château des Combes in Ladaux, a small village southeast of Bordeaux. Under the leadership of Henri Ducourt, who took over in 1951 and was later succeeded by his children and grandchildren, the family vineyard expanded significantly, growing to its current size of 450 hectares spread across thirteen châteaux in the Entre-deux-Mers and Saint-Émilion regions. The estate has been managed by Philippe Ducourt since 1980.

Even though it's inexpensive, this wine isn't worth drinking. It's bland.

For this price, this "little Bordeaux" is remarkable. Don't change a thing—especially not the price.
