Rating: Gault Millau 16/20, B&D 15.5/20, RVF 14/20, Guide Hachette 1* (Very successful wine) Jancis Robinson 16/20
“Delicate and elegant, with a harmonious nose of pure, ripe fruit, a flavorful palate with elegant tannins, and a beautiful, fresh, and long finish.” ” (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2010 – Bettane & Desseauve). This estate, owned by Denis Dubourdieu—a renowned Bordeaux oenologist, professor at the Faculty of Oenology, and winemaker—ranks among the best of the Premières Côtes de Bordeaux, producing a flavorful red that is always distinguished by its exceptional fruit quality!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
“Château Reynon, located on the Beguey hillside near the village of Cadillac, belongs to the family of Denis Dubourdieu (the ‘pope of oenology,’ who passed away in 2016). Thanks to careful cultivation and technical expertise, it is now one of the most renowned wines of the Côtes de Bordeaux, producing reds and whites with a refined, elegant style, appealing for their integrity and freshness. We’ll be keeping an eye on the white and red, which are consistently good and affordably priced.”
