“This estate has once again wowed us with what is certainly the best of the Haut-Médocs we’ve tasted. This 2009 vintage boasts splendid body and reveals great richness of sap, power on the palate, and very fine aging. A beautiful, long, and seductive wine, it was vinified and aged with ambition and care. A tremendous success!” (RVF 2012 Guide to the Best Wines Under €20)
