“A highly elegant nose, both very fruity and floral, which carries through to a smooth palate with silky, fresh tannins, good length, and a crisp finish. Balanced, easy to drink, and harmonious.” (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve) It has everything it takes to please! A wine that just keeps getting better.

Rated Estate (2020 Guide) Selected (An estate or winery that impressed us with one or more of its wines, though we are unable to offer a general assessment of the style of its entire range)

About the wine:

A highly elegant nose, both very fruity and floral, which carries over into a smooth palate with silky, fresh tannins, good length, and a crisp finish. Balanced, easy to drink, and harmonious.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated wine (2020 guide) Mentioned (Successful wine)

Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

Made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), this wine is still young and its tannins remain firm. However, it is well-rounded and aromatic enough to soon reveal its elegance.

About the estate:

Planted in the mid-1980s on gravelly soil that belonged to Montesquieu in the 18th century, this vineyard is managed by Éric Perrin, who also oversees Carbonnieux.

Wine Spectator

Wine rated (2019 guide) 90/100 (Very good wine)

About the wine:

Ripe and rounded on the palate, with polished notes of plum and blackcurrant, accented by savory hints of red meat—specifically, a subtly grained flat iron steak—that linger throughout the clean, elegant finish.

James Suckling

Wine rated (2017 guide) 92-93/100

Rated estate (2020 guide) Recommended

About the wine:

Full-bodied and juicy, with plenty of character and notes of blackberry and blackcurrant. Hints of warm stone. Soft tannins. It has everything it needs for a promising future.
