“A bestseller that epitomizes classic style and offers unbeatable value for money!”

“A fine classic of the appellation, this grand cru offers a lovely, slightly spicy fruitiness on the nose, followed by a palate that is beautifully fresh, approachable, and balanced. The wine remains supple overall, 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 older brothers that preceded it. To their richness and smoothness, Pipeau 2021 will counter with its freshness and purity!

About the estate:

A staple of the appellation, this estate, located at the foot of the Saint-Laurent valleys, became part of the Mestreguilhem family in 1929. The 7 hectares of that time have grown to 26 today. The estate has been managed since 1983 by Richard Mestreguilhem, who was joined in 2014 by his son Jean, an agricultural engineer, who now oversees technical operations.
