(2011 Vintage Notes)

Blackcurrant aromas dominate the nose of the Vieillefont cuvée, which boasts a ruby color with purple highlights. The palate is round and silky, with fine, supple tannins. A true delight!

Rated wine (2016 guide) 15/20 (2011 vintage) (Good wine)

Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

When Jean-Mary and Catherine Le Bihan took over the family farm, they set their sights on the hillsides of Duras. It was a wise decision, as they have elevated the estate to one of the best in the Southwest. In this appellation that is struggling to gain recognition, this estate, using standard grape varieties, produces original wines that are enjoyable to drink young or built for aging, such as the superb Perrette and the 2014 Noisetiers, tasted from a magnum. Clémence, one of their daughters, has joined them.
