A blend of Cabernet and Merlot, Château Espiot boasts a deep ruby color. The nose, which is fruity and floral with a hint of spice, is in perfect harmony with the palate. Smooth and refined, this organic Pessac-Léognan pairs perfectly with grilled meats or meat dishes served in sauce.

About the estate:
The Espiot family, which already owned properties in the Blaye region, acquired this estate—formerly known as Château Ladoar—in 2004: 8.7 hectares located not far from the Smith Haut Lafitte and Bouscaut estates. Sébastien Espiot has been at the helm since 2007, having returned to the family estates after spending about ten years working for a multinational corporation.

Review by Mr. DIDIER P. Published on May 5, 2020
A very light wine with insufficient body. In 2019, it’s past its prime. Doesn’t deserve the Pessac-Léognan appellation. Ruby color with an orange rim. Classic nose with hints of strawberry and orange. Soft on the palate; reminds me of the strawberry flavor found in some Chinons or Saumurs. Lacks subtlety. Reminds me of a truly low-end Saint-Estèphe. I imagine the owners will continue to work on improving this wine. In the meantime, a product of no interest. Best forgotten.

The high acidity is not what you'd expect from a Pessac costing more than €18

It still needs a little more aging, but it’s a real treat with white meat—it’s well-rounded and has a very pleasant aroma
