"A bestseller with exemplary classicism and unbeatable value for money!"

"A beautiful classic from the appellation, this grand cru unfurls lovely, slightly spicy fruit on the nose, followed by a beautifully fresh, appealing, and balanced palate. The whole remains supple, with well-structured tannins that are already quite pleasant at this stage. " (Guide Hachette 2025) - This vintage is a little gem of tenderness that will tell a different story from its three big brothers that preceded it. Pipeau 2021 contrasts their richness and smoothness with its freshness and purity!

About the estate:

A sure bet in the appellation, this estate located at the foot of the Saint-Laurent valleys became part of the Mestreguilhem family in 1929. The 7 hectares at the time have now grown to 26. The property has been run since 1983 by Richard Mestreguilhem, joined in 2014 by his son Jean, an agricultural engineer, who is now in charge of technical management.
