“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.” (Bettane & Desseauve Wine Guide) It has everything it takes to please! A wine that just keeps getting better.

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rated (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 sufficiently well-rounded and aromatic 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 framed 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 winery (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.
