“Gold Medal at the Lyon International Competition”

"In contrast to the intensity of the color—still youthful with its purplish hues—the bouquet is fairly subtle, yet it strikes a good balance between red fruit and wood (spices). Smooth on the palate, the wine shows promise for aging thanks to its tannic structure." (Guide Hachette des Vins - 2020 Edition)

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated wine (2018 guide) Selected (Selected)

About the wine:

Subtly fruity and mineral, the nose is crisp and clean; on the palate, it is soft, full-bodied, highly aromatic, and lively. Easy to drink and beautifully balanced.

Hachette Wine Guide

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine noted (guide 2020) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

About the wine:

In contrast to the intensity of the color—still youthful with its purplish hues—the bouquet is fairly subtle, yet it offers a good balance between red fruit and wood (spices). Smooth on the palate, the wine shows promise for aging thanks to its tannic structure.

James Suckling

James Suckling

Wine rated (2019 guide) 91/100

About the wine:

Attractive ripe black berries with rich, toasty spices that lead to a very full-bodied and succulent palate, carrying a long, smooth, and supple array of bright, robust tannins. Long and velvety.

Yves Beck

Yves Beck

Wine rated (2018 guide) 88/100

About the wine:

Garnet red. A bouquet of good intensity with a pleasant freshness. Smoky and fruity notes. Well-balanced on the palate. The wine is juicy and delicious, with a lively and refreshing structure. The tannins remain in the background but are solid. A wine that will gain in suppleness and shows great promise. A fruity finish.

Review by Mr. WALTER L. Posted on March 3, 2024

This 2017 vintage is holding up very well. Notes of red berries and a hint of smokiness. A wine to keep in your cellar.
