"The 2014 Noaillac has a well-defined bouquet of cedar and mint infusion that opens up to fairly lively and energetic black fruit. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, supple tannins and very well-balanced, natural, and refined acidity, leading to a very pure finish that doesn’t overshadow the fruit. I’ve encountered some excellent wines from this Médoc—the 2014 is certainly one of them.” (Wine Advocate 2016 – Neal Martin) Don’t miss it!

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 wine’s consistent high quality, allowing us to award it one 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 comes through, harmonizing with a round, smooth body 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 terroir (a hilltop of Garonne gravel), this cru was purchased in 1982 by Marc Pagès, who also heads Château La Tour de By. After gaining initial experience at a Margaux cru classé, his grandson Damien joined the estate and took over its management in 2009.

Review by Mr. CEDRIC F. Published on September 9, 2020
Pair with roast veal and mushrooms. A classic, rather tannic vintage. Subtle on the nose. Slightly dry finish. Fully mature. No need to wait any longer.

Not much aroma on the nose, a mediocre finish; I didn't enjoy drinking it.

Considering the price, especially after the fifth glass. Intrinsically, it offers delightful complexity and finesse.

A nice surprise for the price! 15/20 No acidity on the finish. Very pleasant. Still has a few more years of aging potential.
