Bettane & Desseauve
“This is a robust, full-bodied wine, built for long-term 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-Fronsacs. There is a significant amount of Merlot in this blend. This purplish-hued cuvée offers notes of Asian plum sauce, crème de cassis, and blackberry liqueur, along with a hint of pencil shavings. Full-bodied, robust, and seriously talented, this massive Canon-Fronsac needs time to settle. However, it has it all: acidity, tannins, 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 solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the 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 molasse terroir—with soil composed of a mixture of limestone and clay—this small estate sits atop a hillside (“pey” in the local dialect), which gives the cru its name.
Decanter
Wine rated 16/20
About the wine:
Full-bodied, smooth, spicy, with even a hint of exotic flavor. Bursting with tart fruit. Robust, yet with a round tannic structure.

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 here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the excellence of French wine production.)
About the wine:
The 2009 vintage is full-bodied and offers power and character on the palate, with a limestone-like style evident in its tension on the finish. It can also be enjoyed without haste.
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 managed with care, and the quality of their wines over the past few vintages has been impressive.

Dark and refreshing, like an elderflower soda. There are so many scents hidden in here!
