Château Le Thil owns a vineyard of about 20 hectares classified as A.O.C. Pessac-Léognan. Fourteen of these are dedicated to the Les Reflets cuvée, produced on gravelly soil. A wine with fruit aromas (cherry, wild blackberry, blackcurrant) and floral notes (violet, lilac). A few toasty notes accompany the whole, with hints of pepper and vanilla. A cuvée very much in tune with the times!

Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

In 2012, Florence and Daniel Cathiard acquired the 12 hectares of Thil Comte Clary, which adjoins their classified growth Smith Haut-Lafitte: three hectares of white wine, divided equally between Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, and nearly nine hectares of red wine, with a very high proportion of Merlot. Today, this estate benefits from the expertise of the Smith team. The wines are refined, charming, and perfectly balanced.
