Rating: Guide Hachette 2** (remarkable wine) + Editor's Choice, Gault Millau 17/20
“The deep black color and tears are as captivating as the intensity and complexity of the bouquet. The near-perfect blend of ripe grapes and oak, blueberries and smoke, is reflected on the palate, where the velvety tannins and long finish demonstrate real aging potential. ” (Guide Hachette des vins 2009). Already a must-have!

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.
