Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
This large vineyard (23 hectares) owes its name to its location at the tip formed by the roads to Bourg and Catusseau, on the outskirts of Libourne. Consistent in quality, it was taken over by the Generali company in 2007. Éric Monneret, originally from Jura and formerly of Sauternes, is responsible for its operation.

Rated estate (2022 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
This long-established vineyard, located at the entrance to Pomerol, has made significant progress since its acquisition by the insurance company Generali, which has taken over the vineyard and built a new winery. Under the leadership of its director Éric Monneret, the wine is truly worthy of interest: it now possesses the aromatic charm, smoothness, warmth, and persistence that are characteristic of its best neighbors, as well as a particular finesse that, even in hot years, prevents it from becoming heavy. This is a property to watch closely!
