About the estate:

Bordeaux or Bordeaux Supérieur, red, white, or rosé, Éric Duffau brilliantly vinifies regional AOC wines. In 1979, he took over the family estate located in Entre-deux-Mers, on the left bank of the Dordogne River. His 46-hectare vineyard is mainly located on hillsides facing Saint-Émilion.

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

Rated estate (2022 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)

About wine:

The 2015 vintage, aged in oak barrels, strikes a balance between high maturity and precise aging: it will keep for ten years.

About the estate:

Éric Duffau demonstrates that Bordeaux grape varieties harvested at the right maturity, carefully vinified and aged soberly, produce impeccable wines at an excellent price point in all three colors. The clay soils on limestone bases, located mainly in Génissac and Moulon, impart all their flavors to the wines, but slightly excessive oak can mask the spontaneity of the fruit.
