“The woody notes fade away, leaving a beautiful wine (90% Sémillon with a touch of Muscadelle) that is smooth, rich, and comforting, with a hint of oxidation.” (The Guide to the Best Wines of France 2017 – RVF)

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

About the wine:

With a mahogany hue, the bouquet bursts with notes of cooked fruit and red berries; a lovely, easy-drinking, well-balanced wine.

Wine rated (2017 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

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

About the wine:

The woody notes fade, giving way to a lovely wine (90% Sémillon with a touch of Muscadelle) that is smooth, rich, and comforting, with a hint of oxidation.

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, which is struggling to gain recognition, the estate uses common grape varieties to craft original wines that are enjoyable when young or built for aging—such as the superb Perrette and the 2014 Noisetiers, which we tasted from a magnum. Clémence, one of their daughters, has joined them.
