Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
This significant vineyard (23 hectares) owes its name to its location at the tip formed by the roads leading to the town center and Catusseau, just outside Libourne. Known for its consistent quality, it was acquired in 2007 by the Generali Group. Éric Monneret, originally from the Jura region and formerly of Sauternes, manages the vineyard.

Rated estate (2022 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
This long-established estate, located at the entrance to Pomerol, has made significant strides since its acquisition by the insurance company Generali: the vineyard has been revitalized, and a new winery has been built. Under the leadership of its director, Éric Monneret, the wine has become truly noteworthy: it now possesses the aromatic charm, smoothness, warmth, and length found in its finest neighbors, as well as a distinctive finesse that, even in hot vintages, keeps it from becoming heavy. A property to watch closely!
