"The woody flavors fade away to reveal a beautiful liqueur (90% Sémillon with a touch of Muscadelle) that is smooth, rich, and comforting with a hint of oxidation." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2017 - RVF)

About wine:
Mahogany in color, the bouquet bursts with cooked fruit and red berries, a beautiful, easy-drinking, well-balanced wine.

Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About wine:

About the estate:
Jean-Mary and Catherine Le Bihan took over the family farm and decided to focus 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, which is struggling to emerge, this estate uses common grape varieties to produce original wines that are pleasant to drink young or suitable for aging, such as the superb Perrette and Les Noisetiers 2014, tasted in magnum. Clémence, one of their daughters, has joined them.
