Ratings: Robert Parker 91–93/100, RVF 16.5/20
The 2005 vintage offers notes of graphite and blackcurrant, along with spicy aromas, excellent concentration, and a well-defined tannic structure. “Reignac is a model of the heights that a superior Bordeaux can reach when vinified by a passionate owner who favors low yields and whose work in the cellar is impeccable.” (The Wine Advocate, Robert Parker)

About the estate:
This year, Yves and Stéphanie Vatelot celebrated their 30th anniversary at the helm of Reignac. From the very beginning, the couple has gone all out to position their Bordeaux Supérieurs at the highest level, 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 methods. This work is beginning to show in the wines, despite aging that is still somewhat intrusive. Extractions are more precise thanks to six small truncated-cone vats designed to match the specific characteristics of each vineyard plot.
