Rating: Robert Parker 88–89/100, Gault Millau 15/20
“The 2008 en primeur seems to be heading in that direction, with a dark color and a nose marked by notes of licorice. The palate is dense and long with lovely licorice aromas; the whole is beautifully crafted. ” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2011 - RVF)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
A consistent, well-balanced Médoc offering excellent value for money, crafted by its unassuming winemaker, Jean-Marc Landureau, since 1989. It boasts a quintessential Médoc style, with a velvety texture that is more about elegance than sheer power. With its 2016 vintage, the estate has produced one of its finest vintages in a long time.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (Guide 202) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
Jean Landureau acquired the property in 1934 and converted it into a stud farm. His son Jean-Michel expanded the vineyard and sold the grapes to the cooperative until the arrival of the third generation and Jean-Marc, who took over in 1990. Following Jean-Marc’s passing, his daughter Anne took over the estate, which maintains consistent quality and has been in the process of converting to biodynamic farming since 2018.
