“Very dense and well-structured, with some woodiness that still clings to it a bit but will be absorbed by the wine over time, the 2014 is a solid long-distance runner.” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2017 - RVF) At this price, this cru bourgeois is THE real bargain in Saint-Estèphe!

Wine rated 14.5/20 (Good wine)

Rated estate (2020 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the wine:

Powerful aromas of black fruit, licorice, and violet; fairly pronounced oak; a generous and very warm palate with firm tannins that will need to mellow; good length and potential.

About the estate:

This unassuming 14-hectare estate, located right next to Haut-Marbuzet on the same plateau, offers a fine representation of the Saint-Estèphe terroirs. However, the high proportion of Merlot in the blends gives the wine a deliberately charming and flattering style.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated wine (2018 guide) Mentioned (Successful wine)

About the wine:

Although still dominated by oak, this wine is nonetheless intriguing, with an expressive bouquet featuring vanilla and roasted (mocha) notes from its aging, which give way to hints of tart fruit. On the palate, a lively tannic structure and a finish of wild berries and spices suggest good aging potential.

Wine rated (2017 guide) 15,5/20 (Good wine)

About the wine:

Very dense and well-structured, with a hint of oak that still lingers but will eventually be absorbed by the wine itself, the 2014 is a solid long-distance runner.
