2020 Vintage:

93/100 in RVF July 2023, The best affordable wines. Highest score obtained across all Bordeaux appellations combined.

'An as inviting as it is nuanced floral aroma, vibrant fruit, captured in its full radiance. Fine, elongated yet deeply flavoursome, fleshy texture, carried by a sound and upright structure, which concludes the tasting on a more rigorous than unbridled note.' Pierre Citerne

Notes from Marc Vanhellemont, les 5 du vin, 05/05/2023 'Dark garnet colour, with a nose of well-spiced red fruit jams. The indulgent palate charms us with its fruity amplitude, wrapped in a fresh, silky tannin expertly connected to a mineral foundation. Everything holds together, balances, and extends with black pepper, redcurrant jelly, and black olive jam. One thinks, "this is a mix between classic and original".'

2019 Vintage: Score of 91/100 in RVF June 2021

‘A clear, chlorophyllian, savoury, and fresh juice. Easily digestible, it is supple and appealing on the attack, before offering a fleshy and structured finish.’
