"Unbeatable value for money in this appellation!"

“Well-structured, as befits a Saint-Estèphe wine, it also offers lovely notes of ripe black fruit that are already quite pronounced. The blend, composed of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, is aged for 12 months in barrels, giving the wine a spicy, ripe character. Best enjoyed starting in 2023, this wine has excellent aging potential. ” (Wine Enthusiast 2020) - Delivery in a wooden case is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and selected shipping method)

Wine rated (2019 guide) 90/100

About the wine:

The nose offers aromas of blackberry with notes of forest wood and wild red berries, along with a hint of herbs and leaves. On the palate, it delivers a pleasant freshness thanks to its tannins and the tart, savory flavors of red fruits. Enjoy now or cellar.

Vert de Vin

Wine rated (2020 guide) 90-91/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)

About the wine:

The nose is subtly restrained, offering a delicate intensity, richness, and minerality. It reveals notes of raspberry and, more subtly, fleshy cherry, combined with hints of small berries, mild spices, a very subtle hint of pepper and nutmeg, and an imperceptible touch of vanilla. The palate is fruity, with a lively acidity, precision, and tension. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/fresh raspberry, juicy/fresh strawberry, and, more subtly, violet, combined with delicate hints of juicy blackcurrant, as well as hints of nutmeg, sweet spices, and a very subtle hint of coffee/chocolate (in the background). Good length.
