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 superior Bordeaux wines at the highest level, following the advice of Michel Roland. With the arrival of director Nicolas Lesaint in 2009, cultivation methods have evolved to align more closely with organic practices. 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.

Vert de Vin
Wine rated (2022 guide) 92/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)
About the wine:
The nose is elegant and precise, offering a certain intensity and aromatic purity. Powerful yet delicate. It features notes of vibrant wild blackcurrant, Boysenberry, and a hint of Madagascar pepper, combined with subtle hints of vibrant wild raspberry, small berries, as well as delicate notes of star anise, spices, and a very subtle, almost resinous note. The palate is fruity, balanced, and offers juiciness, minerality, good definition, a certain aromatic purity, a tangy structure, a touch of richness, elegant tension, a lovely finesse in its profile, and a slightly airy quality in its balance. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackcurrant, cherry, and, more subtly, fresh raspberry, combined with hints of lily, as well as subtle notes of dried almond, star anise, a discreet hint of cola, cherry blossom, and a subtle hint of vanilla in the background. Good length, savory notes, harmony, and a rich, indulgent character. The tannins are supple and elegant.
