Alias is a charming wine, rich in personality and complexity. It reveals an expressive nose with aromas of red fruit and empyreumatic notes. On the palate, it is smooth with a structure reinforced by ripe, silky tannins. Beautiful length!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
This classified growth is located on beautiful gravel terraces between Grand Puy Lacoste and Lynch-Bages. Jean Philippe Quié and his sister Anne-Françoise want to give it every chance to succeed, and there has been real progress since 2015, even if the 2016 vintage does not quite live up to the promise shown during barrel tasting before bottling. A new vat room should help to consolidate this progress.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
Located on the Bages plateau south of Pauillac, this cru, established by brothers Louis and Henri Croizet in the 18th century from small plots, has a 26-hectare vineyard planted on gravel. Owned by the Quié family (Rauzan-Gassies in Margaux) since 1942, it is now run by Jean-Michel Quié and his children Anne-Françoise and Jean-Philippe.

Rated estate (2020 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
Like Rauzan-Gassies in Margaux, this wine belongs to the Quié family. It doesn't have the resources of the appellation's big names, but can nevertheless be tender and delicious in good vintages. It is therefore a good deal for wine lovers, thanks to its very reasonable prices.
