Ratings: Robert Parker 91/100, RVF 15.5/20
“This is exactly what one would expect from owner Yves Vatelot; the 2005 Reignac white is superb, displaying aromas of honeysuckle and lemon, buttery notes, and a hint of smoky oak...”(Robert Parker). Whether white or red, the Grand Vin de Reignac cuvée meets the highest standards of wine enthusiasts, blending the characteristics of Sauvignon, Sémillon, and Muscadelle. A wonderful wine to discover!

About the estate:
Yves and Stéphanie Vatelot celebrated their 30th anniversary at the helm of Reignac this year. From the very beginning, the couple has gone all out to position their Bordeaux Supérieurs at the highest level by following the advice of Michel Roland. With the arrival of director Nicolas Lesaint in 2009, viticultural practices have evolved to align more closely with organic farming. This effort is beginning to show in the wines, despite aging practices that are still somewhat intrusive. Extraction is more precise thanks to six small truncated-cone-shaped tanks designed to reflect the specific characteristics of each vineyard plot.
