“The woody notes fade away, giving way to a lovely 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 estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
The woody notes fade away, leaving 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 that is struggling to gain recognition, this estate, using a standard blend of 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.
