"Charming in every way"

"The 2014 Noaillac has a well-defined bouquet of cedar and mint infusion that gives way to fairly lively and energetic black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, supple tannins, very well-balanced acidity that is natural and refined, and a very pure finish that doesn’t overlook the fruit. I’ve encountered some very good wines from this Médoc—the 2014 is certainly one of them.” (Wine Advocate 2016 - Neal Martin) Not to be missed!

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

Damien Pagès, grandson of Marc Pagès (La Tour de By), is at the helm of this estate spanning just over forty hectares, located at the southern tip of the Médoc in Jau-Dignac-et-Loirac. With passion and meticulous care, he produces a wine full of personality, naturalness, and a distinct character. The most recent vintages we’ve tasted confirm this estate’s consistent high quality, allowing us to award it a star.

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine noted (guide 2018) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

This Médoc, with its beautiful complexity, is dominated by Merlot (55%) and opens with ripe red fruits and prunes, complemented by subtle notes of leather and vanilla. On the palate, this lovely fruity aroma is paired with a round, smooth texture, supported by velvety tannins. A well-balanced wine that can be enjoyed young or cellared for the future.

About the estate:

A beautiful 56-hectare estate situated on high-quality soil (a hillock of Garonne gravel), this vineyard was purchased in 1982 by Marc Pagès, who also heads Château La Tour de By. After gaining initial experience at a classified growth in Margaux, his grandson Damien joined the estate and took over its management in 2009.
