Bettane & Desseauve
This is a robust, full-bodied wine, made for long aging. In fact, it would be a shame to drink it before 4 or 5 years. It is clearly the most masculine, concentrated, and structured of the Canon-Fronsac wines. There is a lot of Merlot in this blend. This purple-tinged cuvée offers notes of Asian plum sauce, crème de cassis, and blackberry liqueur, as well as a hint of pencil shavings. Fleshy, full-bodied, and seriously talented, this massive Canon-Fronsac needs time to tame itself. However, it has everything: acidity, tannin, extraction, and considerable richness. It is an impressive wine and a revelation of the vintage." (Wine Advocate 2012 - Robert Parker)

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2013 guide) 14,5/20 (Good wine)
Rated estate (2016 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About wine:
A very sophisticated wine, with notes of chocolate and spices, rich, full-bodied and concentrated, with supple, well-integrated tannins.
About the estate:
Located on a very classic Fronsadais molasses terroir with soil combining limestone and clay, this small estate sits atop a hillside ("pey" in the local dialect) that gives the wine its name.
Decanter
Wine rated 16/20
About wine:
Full-bodied, smooth, spicy, even a touch of exoticism. Loaded with tart fruit. Robust but with a round tannic structure.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2014 guide) 15,5/20 (Good wine)
Rated estate (2016 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About wine:
The 2009 vintage is full-bodied and offers power and character on the palate, with a chalky style due to its tension on the finish. Can also be drunk without urgency.
About the estate:
Originally from northern France, Bénédicte and Grégoire Hubau run Moulin Pey-Labrie in Canon-Fronsac and Haut-Lariveau in Fronsac. These two lovely estates are carefully tended, and the quality of their wines over the last few vintages has been impressive.
