"A wine typical of the Haut-Médoc"
“Peyredon-Lagravette 2016, a Haut-Médoc estate owned by Laurence and Stéphane Dupuch, offers a crisp and subtly intense bouquet. It offers seductive aromas of gravel infused with black fruits. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins—once again, a very classic and conservative style—perhaps verging on austerity on the finish.” (Wine Advocate 2017) - A Médoc classic classified as a Cru Bourgeois!

Selected Estate (An estate or winery that has impressed us with one or more of its wines, though we are unable to offer a general assessment of the style of its entire lineup)
About the estate:
Located on the Grand Poujeaux hill, a superb terroir of Günz gravel, this five-hectare estate was purchased about ten years ago by Stéphane Dupuch, who also owns Château Sainte-Marie, the flagship estate of the Entre-Deux-Mers region. The vineyard features a classic blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines produced are full-bodied, generous, and well-balanced, and undoubtedly possess real aging potential.

Rated estate (2015 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
By purchasing this small Haut-Médoc estate (just over 4 hectares) located in Listrac and near the renowned estates of Moulis (Grand Poujeaux, Chasse-Spleen, Maucaillou), the Dupuch family—whose estate is located in Entre-deux-Mers (Château Sainte-Marie)—has realized its dream: to cross the Garonne River and establish itself on a beautiful gravel terroir.

About the wine:
Peyredon-Lagravette 2016, a Haut-Médoc estate owned by Laurence and Stéphane Dupuch, offers a crisp and subtly intense bouquet. It offers seductive aromas of gravel infused with black fruits. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine tannins—once again, in a very classic and conservative style—perhaps bordering on austerity on the finish. I think this will be avoided by the time it is bottled.

About the wine:
This 4-hectare estate is planted with old vines, some of which date back to the replanting that followed the great frost of 1956. The wine develops concentration due to low yields, as well as fresh blackcurrant aromas typical of this vintage. Best enjoyed starting in 2022.

About the wine:
On the nose, there are strong coffee notes that seem to come from the oak, but ripe cherries are also present in the background. The tannins are chewy, still firm, and need time to develop, but the fruit is present in the midpalate and the finish is juicy. Wait. (JH)

About the wine:
This is a serious Haut-Médoc with notes of black berries, nuts, and a slightly smoky character. Medium-bodied, firm, and smooth. A substantial finish for the appellation. Best enjoyed after 2021.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 88/100
About the wine:
Garnet red with light purple highlights. A medium-intensity bouquet revealing black berries and candied fruit. A rich and creamy attack on the palate. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, has a certain breadth, and is well-balanced. Its tannins are well-integrated, and the acidity remains in the background. I’m a bit surprised by the wine’s palatal appeal, given that the nose is slow to open up, but we mustn’t lose sight of the fact that this wine is young and deserves some aging time. This is a wine that will certainly be able to achieve a higher score. One to watch over time. 2022–2036
