“Aromas of plum and leather, with a signature note of very ripe Cabernet. A round and smooth attack with lovely ripeness; the palate is airy and lingering, framed by rather fine yet distinctly present tannins. The overall impression is slightly roasted. ” (Terre de Vins 2020) - Delivery in a wooden crate is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and shipping method selected)

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2020 guide) 93/100
Rated estate (2017 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the wine:
The most well-balanced wine in terms of body, bouquet, and tannins ever produced by this estate at this stage. A must-buy for its astonishing value and aging potential worthy of the very best classified growths.
About the estate:
Since the Mommeja family (Hermès) acquired the estate in 2006, the two brothers, Laurent and Renaud, have undertaken major renovations: first, the technical facilities—the fermentation tanks and wine cellar—along with a simultaneous restructuring of the vineyard. Caroline Artaud, the technical director, has helped the wines evolve with the support of Éric Boissenot, a renowned winemaker.

Rated estate (2017 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing high-caliber wines—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
The spectacular progress made by this Listrac estate since its acquisition by the Momméja family (Hermès) has now established it as one of the appellation’s leading wines. Renaud and his brother Laurent Momméja spare no effort to allow the wine to express its full potential. The vineyard has been completely revitalized, and a state-of-the-art winemaking facility has been built. An excellent value that’s not to be missed.
James Suckling
Wine rated (2022 guide) 93/100
About the wine:
A very pleasant nose of plums, spices, and dried flowers, followed by a medium-bodied palate with creamy, refined tannins. Nice acidity on the finish. It just needs a few years to develop and become a delightful wine to drink.
Le Figaro vins
Wine rated (2022 guide) 91/100
About the wine:
A clear and inviting nose of blueberries. Pure and straightforward on the palate, with lovely fruit and notes of raspberry and fresh wood. The finish could be a bit longer.
Terre de Vins
Wine rated (2020 guide) 94-95/100
About the wine:
Aroma of plums and leather, with a distinct note of very ripe Cabernet. The palate is round and smooth, with lovely ripeness; the texture is airy and lingering, framed by fairly fine yet distinctly present tannins. The overall impression is slightly toasty.
Anthocyanes - Yohan Castaing
Wine rated (2020 guide) 92/100
About the wine:
A beautiful, aromatic nose—refined and delicate—with notes of black fruit, blackcurrant, and flowers, displaying brilliance and vibrancy. On the palate, it is full-bodied, well-structured, and perfectly balanced, with lovely tannins and a long, lingering finish. The brilliance of the nose is also evident on the palate. A truly outstanding wine. This estate is becoming a benchmark in the appellation.
