"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 lovely aging potential. ” (Wine Enthusiast 2020) - Delivery in a wooden case is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on the 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 offers a pleasant freshness thanks to its tannins and the tangy, savory flavors of red fruits. Ready to drink or worth cellaring.

Le Figaro vins

Wine rated (2018 guide) 93/100

About the wine:

A taut, juicy, elegant, and smooth wine with a hint of zan, round and silky tannins, and a long finish. Best enjoyed between 2020 and 2035.

Vert de Vin

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

About the wine:

The nose is subtly concentrated, offering refined power, richness/intensity, 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 hint 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, to a lesser extent, violet, combined with subtle hints of juicy blackcurrant, as well as hints of nutmeg, sweet spices, and a very subtle hint of coffee and chocolate (in the background). Good length.
