“Initially reserved, constrained by a complex fruit profile, the wine draws its depth from its base of Saint-Émilion gravel.The elegance of its style owes much to the Cabernet Franc massales, which release a sensual subtlety upon aeration.

Rated estate (2022 guide) Cité
About the wine:
Though somewhat reserved on the palate at first, with a complex fruit profile that feels tightly structured, the wine draws its depth from its base of Saint-Émilion gravel. Its elegant style owes much to the Cabernet Franc blends, which release a sensual subtlety as the wine opens up. The aromatic character is preserved within a delicate crispness.
About the estate:
The estate, which has been certified organic since 2021, is committed to focusing on Cabernet Franc through massal selections. This clear vision aligns with the potential of the “Graves de Saint-Émilion” terroir, which is better suited to charm than to power. The latest vintages offer unbridled allure, subtly “Pomerol-esque,” at times languid, teetering on the edge of overripeness yet lacking in brilliance.

Terre de Vins
Wine rated (2020 guide) 93-94/100
About the wine:
While the nose remains subtle, with notes of cherry and stone fruit, the palate is round and opulent without being overly heavy, resulting in a wine that reflects its terroir. It is smooth and mellow, highly drinkable, and offers immediate enjoyment.

About the wine:
The bouquet is pleasantly fruity and subtle, revealing inviting notes of black cherries, licorice, and spices. Like the bouquet, the palate stands out for its finesse, freshness, and balance. This is a wine in its prime that can be enjoyed at various stages of its development.
Vert de Vin
Wine rated (2020 guide) 92/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)
About the wine:
The nose is fruity and balanced, offering elegance and harmony. It features notes of juicy blackcurrant, juicy blackberry, and, to a lesser extent, dark berries, combined with hints of blueberry, lilac, crushed/juicy raspberry, as well as touches of refined minerality, gray pepper, toasted/caramelized notes, and chocolate. The palate is fruity, fresh, mineral, balanced, and finely structured, with a mineral and subtly tart backbone. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberry, fleshy/juicy blackcurrant, and, to a lesser extent, raspberry, combined with hints of small black berries, pulpy blueberry, as well as hints of lilac, blueberry, caramelization, and toast. Good length. The tannins are fine and well-integrated. A hint of cocoa and vanilla on the finish.
Anthocyanes - Yohan Castaing
Wine rated (2020 guide) 92-94/100
About the wine:
Flowers, dark fruits, a beautifully structured bouquet that is fresh and delicate. Hints of ripe fruit and blackcurrant. A lively, energetic bouquet. On the palate, it is wonderfully juicy, fresh, fruity, and superbly minty. Delicate and refined.
