value for the money

"He's got it all!"

“An intense ruby color, a bouquet evoking the forest floor and cranberries, a balanced palate structured by silky tannins, and a pleasant, particularly fresh finish: this wine has personality and excellent aging potential. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019). A Cru Bourgeois that reveals great richness, with notes of red fruit and elegant oak. Both fresh and rich, it is built for aging and will be ideal with a roast rack of lamb. A must-have for your wine cellar!

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated 15/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the wine:

The nose displays rich fruit, smoky and licorice notes; the palate is well-structured, with flavorful tannins and lovely freshness. A harmonious, classic, very well-crafted Haut-Médoc.

About the estate:

A renowned estate that was all the rage in the 19th century, this “sleeping beauty” awoke in fine form four years ago, thanks to its acquisition by the Mounier cognac house. Laurent Méry serves as its director. Located between Margaux and Saint-Julien on gravelly terroirs, the vineyard spans nearly 70 hectares, planted equally with Cabernet and Merlot. Extensive renovations have been undertaken to restore the château to its former glory. Modern and avant-garde, with guidance from Hubert de Boüard (Château Angélus), the wine retains its finesse and elegance.

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine noted (guide 2019) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

With an intense ruby color, a bouquet reminiscent of the forest floor and cranberries, a balanced palate structured by silky tannins, and a pleasant, particularly fresh finish: this wine has personality and excellent aging potential.

About the estate:

A "cru bourgeois" that has been producing wine since the Middle Ages. It owes its name to the agronomist Jacques de Bergeron, who developed a grafting method in the early 19th century. Surrounded by a 19th-century building, the vineyard covers nearly 80 hectares and is owned by the H. Mounier and Hardy cognac houses.

About the estate:

Wine Enthusiast

Wine rated (2018 guide) 90/100

About the wine:

This concentrated wine, with its combination of juicy blackcurrant and rich tannins, will age well. Full-bodied and concentrated yet crisp and fruity, it displays excellent balance, with its earthy tannins never overshadowing the fruit. Best enjoyed starting in 2023.
