"Very refined and balanced, it exudes class! ~ Vinous"
"Garnet red with slight purple highlights. A refreshing, fruity bouquet with good intensity, marked by raspberries, prunes, and a hint of cinnamon. Delicious and creamy on the palate. A beautiful symbiosis between structure and tannins. The latter are fine-grained and offer a beautiful fullness to the entire palate. I am curious to follow this wine over time, but I must admit that it is already very convincing. Well done." (Yves Beck 2018)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2016 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))

Decanter
Wine rated (2021 guide) 90/100
About wine:
Made from a serious Cabernet Sauvignon, this blend blossoms at full throttle with rich, ripe black fruit aromas. It has significant structural support thanks to adherent, energetic tannins that are well balanced by lively acidity, engaging textures, and a lingering finish. 2023-2038

Rated estate (2016 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About wine:
Accessible, with pleasant tannins and a smooth texture, it can be enjoyed at leisure without any urgency.
About the estate:
Owned by wine merchant Patrick Bernard (Millésima), Peyrabon produces two cuvées. The first, in Haut-Médoc, is easily accessible and has medium aging potential. The second, called Fleur de Peyrabon, comes from well-situated vines in Pauillac (4 ha), but the extraction and aging sometimes give it a slightly dry character. The wines are well-structured and offer good value for money.
Wine Enthusiast
Wine rated (2019 guide) 91/100
About wine:
With its high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine reveals good structure and ripe, generous blackcurrant flavors. Its fresh character gives it a juiciness that contrasts with the richness of the fruit. It is a tannic wine with good aging potential. Drink from 2023 onwards.
Vinous
Wine rated (2018 guide) 91/100
About wine:
Peyrabon 2016 offers a finely precise bouquet of blackberries, raspberries, crushed flowers, and minerals. It exudes class. The palate is well-balanced with fine-grained tannins, one of the most saline Crus Bourgeois with notes of oyster shells and spices on the balanced and bold finish. Very refined. Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois tasting in London. 2020-2034

Wine rated (2021 guide) 90/100
About wine:
Aromas of blackcurrant, tea leaf, mocha, and a hint of praline. The wine is medium-bodied to full-bodied with firm, tight tannins. Flavorful and structured. Drink from 2022 onwards.

Garnet red with light purple highlights. A refreshing, fruity bouquet with good intensity, marked by raspberries, prunes, and a hint of cinnamon. Delicious and creamy on the palate. A beautiful symbiosis between structure and tannins. The tannins are fine-grained and offer a beautiful fullness to the entire palate. I am curious to follow this wine over time, but I must admit that it is already very convincing. Bravo. 2022-2036
