“Another standout from the southern third of the Médoc, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot is an elegant 2010 that displays impressive ripeness, a medium-bodied, textured palate, and abundant notes of cedar and blackcurrant intertwined with hints of tobacco leaf, licorice, and incense. Complex, mature, and already ready to drink, it will continue to delight the palate for at least 5 to 7 years.” (Wine Advocate – Robert Parker)

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2015 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
About the wine:
A subtly woody nose. Superb mouthfeel, smoothness, and lovely tannins—a real success.

About the wine:
Vincent Mulliez, who passed away in May 2010, was unfortunately unable to witness this fine harvest. His wife Isabelle and his children are now carrying on his legacy, with the same high standards—as evidenced by this remarkable 2010 vintage. With a deep, dense, and intense garnet color, the wine reveals a rich bouquet of dark fruits (blueberries), vanilla, and toasty notes, followed by a full-bodied, rich palate supported by tannins as smooth as silk. While already delicious, it deserves three to five years of aging to be enjoyed at its peak.
About the estate:
In recent years, this small estate in the southern Médoc has established itself as a sure bet. The wines here have shown unfailing consistency over the past few vintages. A distinctive feature is that the vineyard’s blend is heavily dominated by Petit Verdot, a grape variety that also gives rise to a unique cuvée. Offering excellent value for the price, the wines produced here are a worthy addition to any wine lover’s collection.
