"Beautiful aromas of flowers and red berries, along with slightly spicy woody and mineral notes. The palate is enveloped in spice; the wine is fresh, lively, and appealing." (James Suckling 2020)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
The wine owes its class and character to the heart of the Cantenac plateau and its deep siliceous and clayey gravel soils, which the estate largely shares with Rauzan-Ségla. Under the direction of Henri Lurton, it consistently demonstrates—with a rather rare regularity—a suppleness and aromatic finesse all its own, making it highly sought after by wine lovers who appreciate what they expect from a fine Margaux. In the most recent vintages, it seems to have taken another step forward in the precision with which it expresses the terroir. The second wine, Baron-de-Brane, shares the same aesthetic, with supple tannins that should appeal to many restaurateurs and wine enthusiasts.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
This Second Growth is led with conviction and talent by Henri Lurton, who has at his disposal both a truly beautiful terroir and modern facilities. There, he crafts very refined wines, in what could be described as the “Margaux signature”—without heaviness or stylistic affectation, but with delicate fruit. The estate has just released a series of impressive vintages that are propelling it to the very top of the appellation. Now is the time to enjoy them.
