Wine Spectator

"As usual, the 2011 Pipeau is an exuberant, richly fruity wine with a dark color, for immediate enjoyment. It offers abundant aromas of black cherry and spicy notes, supple tannins, and a medium-bodied palate. The revelation of the vintage, this little bomb of silky fruitiness should drink well for a decade." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker) - "This estate no longer surprises us, such is the impeccable quality of its wines!" " ( RVF No. 587, December 2014) - Last bottles of the vintage!

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.
