Wine rated (2019 guide) 14/20 (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:

Frank, open, beautifully crisp; notes of herbal tea and verbena; full-bodied on the palate, with delightful sweetness and rich floral notes; a savory, lingering finish with hints of mirabelle plum.

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.
