"Gaëtan Lagneaux will unfortunately not have had the pleasure of discovering this admirable wine, which is a superb tribute to his work. The deep black color of this 2012 sets the tone for the tasting: elegance and intensity. The bouquet is equally racy, revealing sustained aromas of ripe black and red fruits beneath a high-quality woody covering (cloves, cinnamon, toast). Ample, fleshy, dense and very fruity, the palate is all restrained strength, backed by silky tannins and a fine acidity that stretches the wine into a finish of rare length, generous and spicy. A great Pauillac for laying down ". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
This discreet 14-hectare château, located right next to Haut-Marbuzet on the same plateau, offers a fine representation of Saint-Estèphe terroirs. However, the high proportion of Merlot in the blends gives the wine a deliberately charming, flattering style.

About the wine:
Unfortunately, Gaëtan Lagneaux will not have had the pleasure of discovering this admirable wine, which is a superb tribute to his work. The deep black color of this 2012 sets the tone for the tasting: elegance and intensity. The bouquet is equally racy, revealing sustained aromas of ripe black and red fruits beneath a high-quality woody covering (cloves, cinnamon, toast). Full-bodied, fleshy, dense and very fruity, the palate is all restrained strength, backed by silky tannins and fine acidity that stretch the wine to a finish of rare length, generous and spicy. A great Pauillac for laying down.
