Rated 3 stars (A high-quality product that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
The delicate tannins, enveloped by well-structured fruit, unfold within a concentrated body with a fresh finish that thoroughly won us over during the second tasting of this vintage.
About the estate:
The Janoueix family, one of the great wine families of the Right Bank, has always had a keen sense for the great wines of Pomerol. First and foremost, we must pay tribute to Marie-Antoinette Janoueix: in 1999, she had the excellent intuition to set aside four hectares of gravelly soil located in the heart of the clay plateau that had previously been part of Château-la-Croix. These high-quality plots are neighbors to prestigious estates such as Le Pin, Vieux Château Certan, and Petit Village. Her daughter, Marie-Jo Chabut, has skillfully taken over the estate and entrusted the technical management to her nephew, the talented Jean-Philippe Janoueix, who brings greater precision to the mid-palate and finish. We appreciate the dense and voluptuous attack that lingers with smoothness and energy; the truffle-like finish lends greater nobility to the whole.

About the wine:
An alluring nose, with blackcurrant scented with violet—fruity and floral. Excellent core, juicy and vibrant. This wine reveals a pleasant character, quite bright in the glass yet always with depth, highlighting black fruits and licorice. I love the composition and overall balance. The tannins are ripe and well-integrated. Blue fruits, refreshing elements, and acidity keep it quite lively, with just a touch of austerity emerging toward the finish. 2024–2035

About the wine:
An aged wine, full of gravitas and elegance. On the nose, it bursts with perfectly ripe blueberries, which carry through to the palate—straightforward yet caressing, like a wingback chair upholstered in thick velvet.
