“Unfortunately, Gaëtan Lagneaux never had the pleasure of discovering this admirable wine, which pays superb tribute to his work. Deep and inky black, the color of this 2012 sets the tone for the tasting: elegance and intensity. The bouquet, equally refined, reveals, beneath a high-quality woody veil (clove, cinnamon, toasted bread), sustained aromas of ripe black and red fruits. Full-bodied, rich, dense, and very fruity, the palate is all restrained power, supported by silky tannins and a delicate acidity that extends the wine into a finish of rare length, generous and spicy. A great Pauillac for aging.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
This unassuming 14-hectare estate, located right next to Haut-Marbuzet on the same plateau, offers a fine representation of the terroirs of Saint-Estèphe. However, the high proportion of Merlot in the blends gives the wine a deliberately charming and flattering style.
